Geoff8201 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The Front page Chronicle article was very informative... So there will be TWO buildings, an 18 story office (coming first), and the 20 story hotel/250 upper level apartments (thats a lot of units) ... plus they are going to preserve most of the oaks on the NW corner of the site. Don't think we can ask for more here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff8201 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 So are they tearing down the office building on the site?From my understanding the order of things to come will be:1. Build new office building2. Teardown existing building3. Build hotel/apartments where the old building sat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swtsig Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 from what i've been told the hotel/condo plans are not set in stone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecar(a.f.f.) Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) An appropriate moniker for the rendered building would be Two-Face. Or maybe that's just me...250 units is not a lot and could easily fit in a mid-rise. Though, I think pushing the building higer would help to enhance the Greenway Plaza epicenter. And, who knows, may inspire someone to resurrect the Greenway movie theater. Edited November 29, 2012 by bluecar(a.f.f.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoothrewpoo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've heard the same. The developer is looking for an operator of the hotel/condo before moving forward. There are also a couple of different options for number of stories (for both buildings) being discussed.from what i've been told the hotel/condo plans are not set in stone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoothrewpoo Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 just an update... it sounds like the physical address of the building(s) has changed from 3333 Richmond - to 3737 Buffalo Speedway. My understanding is both phases (hotel/condo and office building) are moving forward. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnmcbarnacle Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 FWIW, crews have been onsite drilling different locations on the property for the last couple days -- soil samples maybe? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchCity Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/pmrgs-bets-big-on-spec-office/ The article gives a little bit of information on it but not a whole lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoothrewpoo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 from the Bisnow email... 3737 Buffalo Speedway (rendered) will be the first major office development in Greenway in 25 years. It will be on land that PMRG and the Indure Fund (managed by National Real Estate Advisors) acquired when they purchased 3333 Richmond in November. The partnership will break ground on an 18-story, 400k SF tower this year: It's got 85k SF of pre-leasing (including Solvay America, which will relocate from 3333 Richmond) but is looking for a lead tenant to kick off construction. It's slated to complete mid-2015, and the team will demolish the old tower and build a hotel/mixed-use project there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Isnt the new building showing it pretty much the same location as the current one? It doesn't seem like the hotel mixed us project will leave many trees if any. Where will the current tenant go during construction?

The new office tower will go up in the open area adjacent to the existing building. When the new office building is complete, the current tenant(s) will move into it, and the existing office building will be demolished. The residential/hotel building will sit where the existing office building is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryDierker Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 http://3737buffalospeedway.com/ Phase 1 to commence in September Phase TwoOnce phase one is completed, the existing 97,000 square foot office building will be demolished to make way for phase two. Phase two is anticipated to include a single high-rise tower comprised of a full-service hotel on the bottom-half of the tower and a 250 unit high-end apartment building on the top-half of the tower. The hotel and apartments will be joined by a high-end resort styled amenity deck to which both hotel guests and apartment residents will have exclusive access. From concierge services and in-residence dining to a dedicated residential management team, the apartment residents will experience unparalleled comfort and elegance in the heart of Houston. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
