tigereye Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 In the last 2 years, 4 blocks in the Garden District (or Parking District) are being developed. Skyhouse, Block 334, Holiday Inn and now Skyhouse 2 ...all next to each other. And 800 Bell is next to be redeveloped. A few other residential projects are planers as well. SoDo area has momentum. Will be interesting to see what happens to the old Days Inn now and the Amegy building when they vacate for the Galleria area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were just moving within that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have missed something, but I don't think Amegy plans to vacate their downtown building for the Galleria area. The move into the new Galleria headquarters building will be from the Amegy Building in Post Oak Park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJxvi Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) LOL at complaints about this. If this was announced as a 2 tower development from the very beginning people would have shaken with glee on this forum.

Purdueenginerd Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Screw top golf. I say a slip and slide from the top of skyhouse all the way to the lake in Discovery green. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move into the new Galleria headquarters building will be from the Amegy Building in Post Oak Park. From what I have heard, that is correct. Amegy is keeping their operations center Downtown. The new tower will be used to accommodate those employees from the current building with additional room for growth and will feature a good-sized auditorium for training events for employees for the various branches around the city.

Sparrow Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Awesome, so when does construction start? What are the chances the same team who did #1 are the same folks working on #2 and perhaps when they finish that one they will move on to #3? It seems to me that this developer is all about saving money with smart logistics. In keeping with that trend, a 2015 start date would seem rather reasonable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So it'll be the exact same tower? I wish they'd at least use the green facade this time or something to add a little bit of variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to match the timeline and description I was told. This sounds like SkyHouse Main to me too. From what I heard, this will be another skyhouse, similar in design and height. It supposedly will start somewhat soon. Please take this with a grain of salt, not confirmed, but sounds promising... I know lockmat said he thought the next skyhouse was years out, not sure what to make of that and the info I just got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was announced as a 2 tower development from the very beginning people would have shaken with glee on this forum. This. We are getting so spoiled in Houston. Remember just a few years ago when we would go days without an update on any project in Going Up because there was barely any construction around town? I think it will look good being right next to the other SkyHouse. Just look at the Mosaic towers or the Palisade Palms in Galveston for two identical towers side by side; those turned out well enough. They're more isolated, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naviguessor Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Very happy to have a twin sister next door. Think it'll look great. Some minor aesthetic changes, like color (as cloud suggests), seem appropriate. The same top design, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
