  1. Have we seen any renders of this one? With a 160' crane height, I'd imagine it'll be in the 10 story range.
  2. "Bully"? They never "bullied" anyone. They bought the land, fair and square and clearly stated that it wasn't ever going to become a 4-year university. The advantages that it could have brought, on the other hand, are endless. Anyone who celebrates the loss of UT's presence here is shortsighted to say the least.
  3. Also the portion on the right/east on level 1+2 is the proposed concert venue, I believe. Is the basement usable space?
  4. Maybe not so baby... if it gets built, then it looks like it would be a 12 story podium with ~40 floors above. That could make it comparable to 609 main in height. IF the one on the right got built as shown, it would be edging into supertall territory. I don’t know anything about this project, and don’t know how much those models accurately reflect what TAMU has planned for the site.
  5. Google maps has updated the 3d imagery for the Med Center. Looks like it’s up to date as recent as Q1 2019.
  6. The last structure (former golf building) was being demolished earlier this week.
  7. Emporis height estimates need to be taken with a grain of salt. They calculate 13.3’ per floor if no official height is disclosed.
  8. AD Players building is currently being reduced to a pile of rubble
  9. I’ve been wondering when that site would be redeveloped! It’s right next to Greenway Plaza, directly south of the former XOM research campus development. Very prime piece of property.
  10. That looks like the southwest portion, facing west down Dallas street. That portion was originally slated for low/mid rise apartments, retail, and the theater. It’s about 1/3 of the total land for regent square.
  11. Very cool. Now imagine that pic when Midway + HEB develop on that open plot, and the BB&B inevitably gets torn down for something better.
  12. I like this. Is the developer linked to the Bristol Parc? It would be nice if that building got a fresh coat of paint with this influx of capital. It might be the most tired looking (occupied) building in the whole city!
  13. There was more soil testing today, and some survey flags throughout the property
  14. I’m trying really hard to be excited for it, but it’s just not doing anything for me. I know it’s better than an empty lot, and it’ll try to engage the ground level and have great amenities. But I worry this is the last large office tower we may be seeing in awhile, and I feel like this design is a missed opportunity.
  15. I swear we've seen these on this site before, but I can't seem to find them. I share the same thoughts now as I did when I first saw them: huge step down from the initial design.
  16. Found some renders! Looks like 8 stories with GFR along Westheimer. https://www.crescentcommunities.com/businesses/multifamily/novel-river-oaks
  17. I much preferred the old proposal over this I10 feeder-road lookin building. This thing is so bleh. The old proposal would’ve brought excitement and a sense of cohesiveness to that stretch of Westheimer from 610 to the other end of highland village.
  18. Exactly. My point was, the 438' height quoted previously was misleading. It's a 330' tall building, with its top 438' above sea level. Edit: I'm not sure what the 108' figure is, because that sounds too high for this area. Regardless, I think we can expect this building to rise closer to the 330' figure we previously had.
