    Looks like it could have a fair amount of ground floor retail under the garage. The inward sloping sides look very nice and depending on how many floors it ends up being, it could become a signature downtown tower.

    Great find! Hopefully some other sites pick up the story and we can get definitive size such as rentable office space and height in floors.

    http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/03/downtown-high-rise-gets-going/ Nancy says it's already broken ground.

    In the lower left is that more crane bases or are those sections that they'll use later to make the current crane taller?

    I had a hobo one time let me know I was in a tow-away zone downtown and showed me where I could park (It was one of my first times driving downtown). They aren't all bad. I understand some are mentally unstable, but others just seem very unlucky.

    Apache and Chevron too. It'll be interesting to see if other expanding energy companies will choose to have shiny, new towers built.

    http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2013/02/bhp-billiton-petroleum-announces-plans.html Here we go! It's funny someone said there were rumors in OKC that BHP would relocate there, when in reality they are consolidating their Oklahoma operations here.

    Depending on how successful BLVD place is it looks like Ed Wulfe could pretty easily redevelope the strip centers across San Felipe or Post Oak.

    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.

    It says the Galleria reached capacity... What exactly is the capacity of a 2.4 million sq ft mall?
  11. ClutchCity
    It seems like they could fit those residential/retail developments into 2 buildings. Since this is the start of the square that is the focus of the development, I wonder if they will start work just a few months down the road on the other buildings that surround it.
  12. ClutchCity
    If they do they should add a couple towers like BLVD Place!
  13. ClutchCity
    Have they started constructing the crane for this one?

    Misstatement

    http://www.chron.com/business/article/City-Council-OKs-deal-with-Southwest-for-Hobby-4275184.php It says in this article that Southwest has already paid the $150 million for the project. Seems like Southwest is rigorously pursuing the rapid completion of this project.

    I wonder if Skanska will develop this lot 5-10 years down the road and put the daycare in a street level retail space. A single story structure downtown doesn't really seem permanent.

    http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/02/new-cinema-concept-coming-to-town/ More information on the Movie Theater going in River Oaks. It's super fancy

    I've been thinking about that one when it comes to Hines developing something like that here. It could show they're bullish about building large office projects and maybe they might think about building another 60+ showcase building in their hometown or it could be a giant strain on resources and they'll take it slow and steady for a while.

    It's interesting how they have sold three very expensive towers in the last couple years. It's nice to dream that they'll use the funds on something even better then their Transco Tower and BG Group Place (especially seeing as they'll got a nice chunk of change for both).
  20. ClutchCity
    They did say they were going to start developing other portions of Regent Square a few months after the sovereign began, correct?

    http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2013/02/bhp-signs-lease-for-new-four-oaks.html More information on the project.

    Does anyone know if they're attempting to get a certain percentage preleased before they begin construction? Looks like its been leasing up pretty steadily.

    http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/convention-district-makeover/ It's 20,000 sq ft but its also pretty far from a lot of stuff downtown(not for long with all the new development). Doesn't midtown have a much higher population to support at least a little retail?
  24. ClutchCity
    It would be cool if they did something like a public-private partnership and had residential on top of school. Would be a great use of space next to all the other (mainly residential) development going on nearby. It would allow for some of the construction costs to be lifted off of HISD and create a nice residential area in a pretty central location in downtown.

    The KBR site would be perfect for A&M if they opened a Houston campus for their expanded College of Engineering. The internships in the area would be great for students if they decided to do so. It'd also be better because you can only have so many mixed-use developments at once. If this got developed into mixed-use it would probably take away from development that could go downtown, BLVD Place, River Oaks, etc. Heres the article about A&M hoping to expand their Dwight Look College of Engineering by 14,000 students in just 12 years. It's ambitious but has support from big energy players Exxon and Chevron: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2013/01/23/texas-am-on-mission-to-increase.html
