downtownian Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Of note: Block 334 and SkyHouse Main are both scheduled for completion Q1 of 2016. I actually laughed out loud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I could see Block 334 MAYBE topping out before Skyhouse Main leases...but that's a long shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have optimism for Block 334. The hotel at the northeast corner of the Hardy Toll Road and I-45 took 18 months but finally became a Homewood Suites. Speaking of that, has anyone else had the experience of driving in on I-45 and passing the tower cranes that loom like sentinels on either side of the 242 interchange? Two hospital complexes are going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cloud713 Posted April 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2015 heres a video i recorded today in downtown. not surely sure here to share it because it has at least 10 different developments in it (500 Crawford, GHP Building, Marriott Marquis, Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites, Catalyst, Hilcorp Tower, Texaco Redevelopment, 609 Main, Residences at Market Square, and Market Square Tower). feel free to link to the appropriate threads if you feel the video is worthy. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is Allied Realty planning a MF development at 5433 Westheimer? The site is listed as one of their "current projects". http://alliedrealty.com/allied-investments.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I think Hyatt Place was canceled. Hyatt was going to build a new building... instead they were going to put the hotel in 1114 Texas ave - right? I never heard of anything being canceled...

Urbannizer Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Unless things have changed very recently, Hyatt Place for 1114 Texas Ave. is still on the boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looking at the list, Houston not getting a huge bump in inventory, so there's definitely room for something high end in the GHP building/garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 So tell me what would prevent Houston from building a cement pond off of Buffalo bayou? Ironically (or not, depending on whether you knew about it), they are doing just that. "Lost Lake"http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/heights/news/article/Lost-Lake-coming-back-4729234.php I rode my bike over there a few weeks ago, and it would be more appropriately named "Lost Puddle". Either way, a nice concrete pond to add facilities to our bayou system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of anything being canceled... Oh, yes. I forgot that 1114 Texas is slated to be a Hyatt Place. I was referring to the earlier proposal for a Hyatt Place on La Branch (on the same block where the Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites are going). The proposal on LaBranch was indeed canceled and the developer sold the property. The proposed Hyatt Place in 1114 Texas is by a different developer.

jmitch94 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Does anyone else looks at downtown from one of the cams, and literally get excited thinking about how much more vibrant and lively it will be in say 5 years once all this stuff is built and the GFR's are established? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkp5 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 From the article: "Developers quickly claimed the tax credits, and Houston doubled the size of the initiative to a total of 5,000 housing units in 2014. Developers signed up for the last of these incentives early this year; however, some might drop out because of concern that Houston’s energy economy will be damaged by falling oil prices or that too much competition exists from other apartments under construction. “One or two may have stalled because of the change in the price of oil,” says Parker, but she notes that the city has a waiting list of other developments interested in the incentives." Does that mean that other projects could get the incentives if a developer who already has incentives drops their project? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Could be a push for some developments (Camden) to either move forward or else risk losing tax breaks for their projects 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Maybe they should check number 11. I think they might want to fix the floating blue box flying away from the blue border... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 They already fixed number 11 (and fixed incorrect text in one of the boxes), plus changed some dates, on the amended one posted in the other thread (notice the _1 in the URL): http://downtownhouston.org/site_media/uploads/attachments/2015-07-17/150717_Development_Map__Renders_11X17_1.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
