ChannelTwoNews Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Semi cryptic, but still, from bisnow... Quote We busted out our detective hat for you today and found some exciting whisperings and an exclusive scoop on two developments. (You have to promise not to tell anyone else, though.) First, a Westchase office tower that's completely pre-leased. http://e13c7623ea07ffe9c5c6-e19f06f73efdb5028989d1916204cd71.r73.cf2.rackcdn.com/58884_1389913167_BMSTower.jpg Sources tell us BMS Management is developing an office property on Richmond directly east of Millennium Tower. We snapped this picture yesterday showing that the site has been scraped in preparation. We're told the building is over 400k SF and is completely spoken for, and rumor has it National Oilwell Varco may be the soon-to-be inhabitant. (Its offices are just down the road at Briarpark and Richmond.) The firm's tenant rep and BMS aren't commenting, so we'll have to stay tuned. We have been told that BMS relocated those beautiful live oaks along the property line rather than cutting them down. (They sent them out to pasture, to spend the rest of their days grazing on sunlight in peace.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Interesting... So west chase will have its own little cluster of cranes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august948 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 There's also a huge tract of land behind that site between Richmond and Westheimer, bordering the Beltway. I keep wondering when that's going to get filled up. It might be good for another mixed-use property, though the Carillon Center bordering on it has always (since I've been here at least) been mostly empty in the back.

swtsig Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 NOV is indeed the tenant. 415k sf I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apartment complex known as 3003 Seagler near the traffic circle. They were to build in phases and it would have been similar to City Centre but was shelved during the recession. The property will eventually be built out with multifamily and retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Ohh, just drove down beltway.. this is going at "westchase park", where their is currently a crane, not the briar lake/westchase highrise cluster? I figured it would be at briar lake for some reason.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would be at briar lake for some reason.. Cloud you're referring to another 6-7 story office project at Richmond and BW8. This one is directly across the beltway from Westchase Park. There's so much going on right now that its hard keeping track.., so many new surprises of previously unannounced projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Millennium Tower II, 22-floors The Millennium Tower in Westchase is getting a long-awaited sibling. The owner of the building has started a second on 3 adjacent acres at 10353 Richmond. Millennium II will have 417,000 square feet of high-end office space and a 1,780-car parking garage. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/columnists/sarnoff/article/Westchase-tower-stands-alone-but-that-s-about-to-5216169.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Stonian Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Nice... in spite of the boxiness that others are sure to complain about. Reminds me of Skanska's new Post Oak tower near the Galleria with similar greenish tent glass, if the rendering is accurate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Lol, toucheIs this the Westchase project you alluded to as losing a major tenant in that west Houston core thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm involoved with NOV on a daily basis and can tell you that they are buying up oilfield service companies almost monthly. They're offices on Parkwood Circle are but a drop in the bucket of their local office work force. The Parkwood Circle office towers are dated. Suprised it's taken them this long to have a spanking new space. I can tell you that the employees are very excited about the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFromCan Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The crane was put up over the weekend. Looks like this one is starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Allen Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Awesome. Right next to the freeway; is that going to be a parking garage? They seem to be digging deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I took a pic of this with my other updates last week but couldn't remember what was going up here.. Sometime in the last month a 2nd crane was put up. I noticed it one weekend when I was in town recently.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Allen Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 This tower is not right next to the freeway but rather behind Millennium Tower I (facing Richmond). The lot cleared facing Beltway 8 is for an apartment complex wrapped around an interior garage. http://houstonnewcomerguides.com/news/the-heights-of-westchase-now-underway-westchase-districtOk, cool. Thanks. Do you know haw many units, storeys the apt complex will be? Wow, that is so cool to me, a residential and commercial development going up right next to each other. I like it!

Texasota Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 yeah but there's nothing "urban" about that photo. Everything is so out of scale, so far apart, so car-dominated. It pretty much looks like a suburban office park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
