thatguysly Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I went to Craft F&B yesterday. They had 24 beers on tap and a list of cocktails. Good prices on the drinks. The food is well priced as well for this type of restaurant. $12 burger and the brick oven pizza is a little more. But you get a good size pizza for the price. I really liked the place and will be making many more trips. I walked the rest of the hotel lobby and conference area. It is extremely well designed with a ton of white marble. It is one of the nicest if not the nicest building I have checked out in Houston. The French place isn't really for me but had some nice looking pastries and coffee. The high end cocktail bar was nice as well. Props to Tillman for putting together a very nice and cohesive structure. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/07/02/tilman-fertitta-s-new-400m-galleria-tower-faces.html Houston billionaire and Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta’s new $400 million mixed-use tower in the Uptown area has had dozens of liens filed against it by unpaid contractors. In total, the outstanding liens as of July 2 add up to more than $30.5 million, according to documents obtained by the Houston Business Journal that were filed with the Harris County Clerk’s office. The tower, dubbed The Post Oak, includes high-end hotel, office, residential and retail space. It broke ground at 1600 West Loop South in 2015 and opened in March. Originally expected to cost around $350 million, that figure is now at $400 million, according to Jeff Cantwell, chief development officer and executive vice president for Landry’s Inc., which is owned by Fertitta. The largest outstanding lien as of July 2 was filed by Houston-based Tellepsen Builders Inc., which was the general contractor for the core and shell of the project. Tellepsen’s lien, which was first filed in January and amended in June, claims the company is owed $19.89 million. Tellepsen issued the following statement to the Houston Business Journal through a spokesman: “Tellepsen and our unpaid subcontractors are local, family-owned businesses that care about our projects, our people, and our community. It is unfortunate that negotiations to pay us for our work have failed. Despite the fact that the luxury hotel has been open since March 2018, the owner, Landry’s, has failed to pay us and several of our longtime subcontractor partners in a timely manner. Tellepsen has wonderful clients we have worked with through four generations of our family, but this was the first time we have worked with Landry’s. We expect that we can work this out fairly and swiftly.” Cantwell with Landry’s said the liens filed against the building represent less than 10 percent of the job, and the company is still conducting audits and going through the close-out process. Tellepsen estimates that during peak construction time, there were about 720 construction workers on the project associated with the general contractor. The Texas Constitution and Texas Property Code give mechanics, artisans and materialmen the right to claim an interest, or lien, in the property they worked on for the value of the labor or material that remains unpaid. Liens must be filed in the county of the project. The second-largest outstanding amount in liens filed against 1600 West Loop South as of July 2 totals around $3 million owed to Houston-based Trio Electric Ltd., which recently finished the 40-story Market Square Tower in downtown Houston and the 30-story headquarters for BHP Billiton on Post Oak Boulevard. This was also the company's first time working with Landry's, according to a statement sent to the HBJ. "It is unfortunate TRIO Electric has had to file a lien against Landry's for work completed on the Post Oak Tower. TRIO has paid its employees, suppliers and subcontractors for their work and is disappointed to end such a beautiful project this way. Since starting business in 1983, TRIO (formerly Pollock Electric) has not had a non-payment issue like this one," Trio Electric said in a statement through a spokesman. Due to time periods and complex issues associated with the Texas lien laws, sometimes liens are filed prematurely, according to Letitia Barker, president of Dallas-based Haley-Greer Inc., a curtain wall glass and glazing company that filed a lien against 1600 West Loop South June 1 claiming more than $1.6 million in unpaid bills. "We don’t have any expectations of not being paid; we just did that to preserve our rights," Barker told the HBJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Side note: this building has some really unique lighting that hasn't been discussed (and generally isn't on). The current lighting is classy, and the new features are 100% Vegas. I saw a brief glimpse at dusk a few weeks ago... it's really going to bring some glam to Uptown. Can't wait for the Holiday colors. Edited July 3, 2018 by SkylineView 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Shame on Tillman. We really don't need new developments built by unpaid workers. Hope that he gets this solved quick. Sounds a little bit too much another real estate we all know. Fix it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Sounds like he's taking cues from another big time New York developer with reality TV ties. Wonder when he's going to put Fertitta on the building? Talking about embarrrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unable to attach a photo (which is probably for the best because I have no idea how to take pictures at night so they are crap anyway)... but there is some of the new lighting on tonight for the first time that I've seen, basically the aforementioned LED lines at the corners of the building (at least on the SE corner that I can see and it looks like the NE corner as well).

richfish Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I wonder what the deal is with the lighting. I remember the first time I saw it 5 months ago it seemed like it was basically ready to go. I drive past every morning and night and I don't think I've ever seen it on since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't "insert other media" and I can't use the "link" button anymore either. Anyone know what the deal is? I've cleared cookies, I've tried different photo hosting, I've tried IE and chrome, I've tried my work comp. It's like the site is anti-content. How are you guys posting photos in content? This is literally the best I can do: >> Lighting Pic here (by me) >> http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/SkylineView/media/image1_zpszkzmwigv.jpeg.html If anyone has the ability to drag it out of purgatory and into the thread... please do!
