lockmat Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 gene posted this in the BLVD Place thread in January... Quote ps...they have not renewed leases in the old compass bank building at the corner of westheimer and post oak (2200 post oak blvd) and it seems most of the tenants will be asked to leave by summer or end of year... bye bye ugly building...you will be missed! http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...st&p=225944 Now we have this... Quote Redstone Cos. is preparing to raze the Compass Bank building on Post Oak and replace it with a new development -- a move that real estate watchers have been speculating about for years. http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto...html?ana=e_ph#1 Hopefully it's not premature to post this in the Going Up! section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 yes, tenants are being asked to leave in december... rumor has it that redsotne is planning another residential high rise. no clue about any retail component.Considering the area, it would HAVE to have some sort of street level component like a bar or some small chain retail or something for tenants or visitors from the nearby Hotels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The article in full basically goes on to discuss the history of the land, other developers' ideas and other similar points. The quote that jumps out at me in terms of a possible announcement or other more detailed info is that of Redstone's CEO stating that they are indeed doing a project there, but he didn't want to disclose anything further for another 3 to 4 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi yes, my company moved out 2 months ago, a little ahead of schedule since we found a great new location...and from what i have been told, the bank ONLY will move across the street (with no drive through of course) to the plaza for 3 years until the new bank building will be built NEXT DOOR in the empty lot... with the current bank lot being built on as discussed above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Owl Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I hope the hotel is a Peninsula. I stayed in the one in Chicago and it's simply awesome. Either that or a Mandarin Oriental. I stayed at theirs in Miami and thought it was incredibly nice, also. I wouldn't call the Ritz a "very, very high end" 5 star hotel. Simply a 5 star hotel. 4 Seasons is in the Ritz categoryMaybe a Burj-Al-Arab - Houston? Now that would be cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
