Wait, they are just putting a new paint job on the Fiesta and that is it? It is like when BP had their offices in the old grocery store in Texas City outside of the refinery.

Levit Green: Life Science Mixed-Use District By Hines
thatguysly replied to TheNiche's topic in Going Up!
Looks like they scaled back some of the building heights but this still looks incredible when all the phases are completed. Between this and TMC3, Houston will finally catch up quickly to the world leaders on the research front. -
Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
thatguysly replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
There is a good chance they get dirt from TXDOT or other major road construction projects. Dirt from construction projects goes all over. In MoCo it has been used to backfill old sand pits, in the Pasadena/Clear Lake area, HPP will take it and backfill land for future development, and other parts of town take it to just raise land above floodplain levels prior to new construction. -
I still feel this is a brilliant move by RD. He protects all the eastern views from his condos, gets good use out for the property, and covers his ugly podium all in one move.

Discovery West: Mixed-Use Development Downtown By Skanska
thatguysly replied to Moore713's topic in Going Up!
Man you thought The Cosmo was mad, I bet Embassy Suites is pissed. Blocked their best views and the pool. In the end it is a hotel over an residential building so it won't matter as much. The guests are temporary and a lot of people will book and not realize the new views.- 1,093 replies

Discovery West: Mixed-Use Development Downtown By Skanska
thatguysly replied to Moore713's topic in Going Up!
Is it because some companies are willing to pay a premium for new office space that is LEED certified, as high end and new amenities, and other incentives that help with hiring a workforce? I can see the older buildings that are all outdated being hard to lease up. I always wonder what will happen to all the old brown and white Soviet looking building from the 70s around town. Some will dump money to renovate the inside but a lot of just bad. I have worked in a couple older buildings and they just don't feel like a successful company works there. Obviously, remote working and moving to campuses is changing how offices are leased up as well.- 1,093 replies

M Square: Mixed-Use Development At 3200 Post Oak Blvd.
thatguysly replied to editor's topic in Going Up!
Glad it is keeping the height. Looks like one of the towers is gone, at least in this phase, from the original release. I liked how the first tower was a little offset as well. Seems like they got rid of that, similar to The Allen. -

Innovation Tower: Mixed-Use High-Rise At 6700 Main St.
thatguysly replied to Astro's topic in Going Up!
Are there examples of towers being added on to after they are completed and occupied? I know there are for parking garages but that seems a lot easier to manage and workaround. -

Uptown Oaks: Senior Living High-Rise At 4718 San Felipe St.
thatguysly replied to SkylineView's topic in Going Up!
WOW! Another high rise in this area. Development never seems to stop. I hope they put a couple more on the southside of Post Oak between San Felipe and the RD tower to complete the corridor look. I was just thinking I won't get to watch more construction from my office but this keeps the years long tradition going.- 68 replies
