    Yes, the Waterworks too. The way the deal is made, it turns it into more of an acquisition than a development for the HHA.

    UG made a deal with the HHA (prior to starting) to develop the land and then turn it over to them. I believe they have done this for almost all of their properties that are being developed here.

    Not saying that there isn't something planned for this property, but I haven't heard of anything happening soon. An associate of mine told me the reason that this plat was done is because of the Shepherd/Durham Reconstruction Project and that there is an encroachment of the 651 N. Shepherd building into the North Durham right of way.

    Thought I would share this model.

    I don't know much about the initial proposed design or unit matrix, but I am thinking that the 775 number must have been bedrooms and not total units. The 475 units has a total of 646 beds, which is 25 units and 34 beds per floor. Using that as a reference, there would need to be an additional 4 floors of residential to get past the 775 bed number. I will say that the unit sizes average around 500 SF per bedroom. Hope that helps.

    A parking garage will either be designed as “open” or “enclosed”. An open parking garage has a minimum required amount of open area to qualify for natural ventilation. Even if you put a perforated metal screen or other type of cover over the openings, the free area ratio of the screen must be multiplied by the area of the opening to determine the actual free area. An enclosed garage option is going to be a significant additional cost of millions of dollars when compared to that of an open-air design. Closed parking garages require mechanical ventilation and also fire sprinkler protection. Also, fire separation code applies differently to enclosed vs open. A closed garage has more stringent requirements for the fire rating of the exterior wall assemblies, where as an open garage does not. These added costs are also accompanied by the design and engineering costs of the exterior garage skin. So, it’s not impossible to achieve a desirable looking parking garage, it’s just so expensive (to construct and maintain) that in most cases it doesn’t make sense. Some developers and design teams do a better job at dressing them up than others. I hope this information adds value to the discussion and perhaps opens additional dialogue.

    Just a term I personally use to describe something aesthetically pleasing

    I don't know that there is an official name as of yet. It is being referenced to as "Oak Park" right now. Construction is slated to begin mid July, which will likely just be underground utilities and such. I don't have much information on the actual buildings other than there is going to be multi-family, retail, dining, POB (offices), and parking (in addition to the existing parking garage). Johnson Development and Garden Capital Partners. This development is going forward. Hoping that it is built and completed as proposed. I would really be happy to see a nice mixed-used development happen in this part of town. I still remember how Park 8 got me excited and then broke my heart.

    Hello. I have experience working with The Morgan Group and also have friends that have worked there in the past. My dealings have strictly been on the development and project construction side, not the property management side. They are a solid group that designs/builds attractive and fluid developments, such as their signature Pearl projects. Please let me know if I can help further.

    1503 to 1521 Westheimer is owned by Shawn Bermudez. I think The Burger joint and Pistolero's (and maybe other restaurants) are his places? With that being said, I don't know what is planned, but I am interested.

    This will not be moving forward. Hopefully it comes back sometime in the future but as of right now it is dead.

    The Vic is a Hunington development, correct?

    This has been submitted for plan review.

    Don’t know yet (at least I don’t). The retail will be either 1 or 2 story. The rest is fairly conceptual at this point.

    Project: Project Green - Phase I Address: 1900 Allen Parkway Owner: Service Corporation International Developer: HINES Architect: HOK Information: New 13-story office building (203' height). Level 1 is lobby, 2-5 is parking garage, and 6-13 is office. Outdoor amenity terrace at Level 6. Total space (not including parking garage) is 245,160SF. SCI will occupy the building and leave two floors empty for leasing space. Site improvements include a 3-story office building (1919 Allen Parkway), a 12-story office building (1929 Allen Parkway), a 2-story residence (currently used for storage - 1904 West Walker Street) and a parking garage, totaling 6.99 acres, that will all be demo'd to make room for a new mixed-use development. I have attached a master plan of the complete development (last image). I have been waiting to share this until the development caught traction because of the efforts to keep this somewhat quiet. I can tell you that the Retail is planned to go next.
