Anybody else in favor of splitting the Ritz tower from the Galleria expansion? I always get a twinge of excitement when I see this thread updated, hoping for some news on the highrise, only to see restaurant updates...

If I know anything about my NIMBY Bellaire neighbors, it's that they will attempt protest this one to death... I hope I'm wrong, because this sounds like a great development.

Do we know what phase 2B consists of? www.cohtora.houstontx.gov/ibi_apps/WFServlet.ibfs?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&IBIWF_msgviewer=OFF&IBIAPP_app=soldpermits&IBIF_ex=sold_permit_d&CLICKED_ON=&PN=19057550&PT=13 Project No: 19057550 Date : 2019/06/07 00:00:00 USE : ELLINGTON SPACE PORT INFRASTRUCTURE PHAS Owner/Occupant : ** Job Address : 13200 SPACE CENTER BLVD 77059 Valuation : $ 17,200,000 Permit Type : 13 FCC Group : Buyer : *TEXAS STERLING-BANICKI, LLC Address : 20810 FERNBUSH LN 77073 Phone : (480) 320-4358

Seems like a new tower would be a good use of that Annadarko $1B termination fee!

Noticed a sign with a rendering of the project on this site today. It wasn't there last week

Love that Houston highway map light!

Any renders or anything in the article? 26 acres seems like a huge plot for a single multifamily development

Still sounds like a slim chance to me.

I'm pretty sure this is a Medistar project - "TMC Grand Blvd Investors, LLC" has the same address and phone number listed. Also on Medistar's website they have this listed as a project: Site near Texas Medical Center26 Acres | Houston, TX

I'm mostly echo chambering what I've heard a few places, but it makes sense to me - he's definitely involved. I'm assuming the "C" is Roberto Contreras

Davis is the "D" in "DC Partners"

So, will we have a HAIF spy at this event?

Thank you, you're a wizard Urb! It looks like this site (Toys R Us) is adjacent to their original plan where the apartments are currently located. Possibly a phase I with phase II to follow at the original location?
