lockmat Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 As long as that tenant wasn't in one of your other properties!Exactly my point. The building owner of the tenant loses, obviously, but the tenant and new developer win. which I wonder if it gives a developer more incentive to build a new building. People and businesses are always looking to upgrade at some point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxDave Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Very nice looking! I like the bold statement the somewhat subtle notch makes on an otherwise conservative facade. It's similar to what I like about First City Tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinite_jim Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Are they doing electrical tests? I noticed at night the emergency lights flashing up the building. Also it looks like they are almost done with the top 4 floors and the crown "fin" lighting at the top has a cool blue fluoresent glow.

lockmat Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) February 24, 2011 - Hines has opened its 46-story BG Group Place, a 1 million-sf building at 811 Main St. in downtown Houston. The building is currently 60 percent leased with BG Group and KPMG as lead tenantshttp://realtynewsreport.com/Not too shabby. BG Group Place at 60% and Hess Tower 100% (i assume) is not bad for two brand new buildings in this market.

I like this part... "Now it's the first part of his sales pitch, the thing that new clients ask about. BG Place is now 60 percent occupied - impressive, in this economy - and Mooz expects soon to announce new tenants, including a ground-level retail operation. He also points fondly to Lot 59, a nearby block of Main Street now used as a parking lot. Hines intends to build there next, he says - an office building much like this one, because that's what tenants want." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiknujrac Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Did we ever figure out what the ground level retail would be? There hasn't been anything of note done to that space that I have seen recently.There is a new tenant added to the sign outside the front door, can't recall the name though.

Was that who you saw on the sign?Citigroup had some pretty nice digs. I wonder if BG's offer was VERY competitive or if they just were unhappy with the galleria.
