    Found some stuff on the planning commission's latest meeting. Same as @southerncrj rendering Building Profile Garage floor plan Site plan

    36 going onto 37? Looks like we have 11-10 more floors to go with this one, also a pretty good sized crown that will add to the imposing factor. Going off of this massing diagram from @blakevirgilio on page 16 of this thread. It looks like we have 180 more feet to go in terms of floors, and the crown adds an additional 35-45 ft to it? Going off this it might as well be a 50 floor skyscraper. I think as a community we should include the crowns as part of the floor count. All we need to do is divide it by the average height of each floor and just like magic add these extra floors to the count.

    Cropping that's just the base of the tower.

    I don't know how many have been sold, but I can say that there's only 6 units left on HAR. Don't know if that means anything though, it might be a great or a bad sign but i'm leaning towards great. Also all of those units besides 1 are in the 1 mil+ range, with the highest being 2.7 mil. Unit stated: https://www.har.com/homedetail/1711-allen-pkwy-3304-houston-tx-77019/15075870

    You know since the walkable places ordinance has passed, and this is technically on a secondary TOD street, wouldn't they be able to apply for the TOD designation? Allowing them to build what they originally wanted to build? I have a good feeling this is what this site has been waiting for, and when the TOD application portal opens they can opt out of the restrictive ordinance they're currently in. idk, this is all just speculation, but it might lay credence to why they haven't broken ground yet. Edit: Going off the 1/4 mile rule it might even be able to get Primary TOD designation.

    If this renovation is truly underway, then there would be an astounding 1684 units under construction in Downtown during this time. With potential additional population being anywhere in the range of 2021 (1.2/unit) - 2863 (1.7/unit) extra people. Current Downtown residential projects under construction: The Preston: 373 units Fairfield Residential: 291 units Block 98: 309 units Sovereign at the Ballpark: 229 units Potentially This: 482 units Talk about a surprising residential boom. You can honestly take this further and include the 2nd Camden tower and the block 114 tower, easily blasting this to 2259 additional units, but I would say that is wishful thinking for now... or is it.

    Quite a few updates in the last meeting. Law school: Budget: $90M Square Feet 179k SF Floors: 5 Completion: August 2022 Architect/Engineer: Shepley Bulfinch Contractor: Austin Commercial Much darker color scheme, looks pretty good too. Arts Walk: Closing off this street and making it more of a long park/green walkway with the intention to make the campus feel more walkable, welcoming, and memorable. Centennial Plaza: Don't really have much information on this but it looks like they're intending to link it with the athletic side of campus. Medical school: @Paco Jones Literally 4 months ahead of the game. Also seems a bit longer than the previous version, but shorter by 1 floor. I like it ngl. Budget: $80M Square Feet: 130k SF Floors: 3 Completion: August 2022 Architect/Engineer: Page Architects Contractor: Vaughn Construction There's quite a bit of information given on this map, especially when it comes to future building footprints. >> They intend to develop a full on medical campus. Basically A UH health district stated by robalob's update on page 25. Honestly this is probably the most exciting part >> New Buildings on lot 12A/12B, I'm assuming a new garage and football operations building respectively >> A whole slew of buildings on lot 16, purpose is unknown though >> What looks to be a building on part of lot 19C or 19E, idk but there's something going there >> Building going on lot 19D which is by Durga D. and Sushila Agrawal Engineering Research Building, and whatever that patch of dead grass is by it. Also looks like they plan to put a pond next to it? Lots of detention ponds in the plan. >> A large building planned on the lot by the General Services Building, and a few smaller ones too. >> New Law Center on lot 19B >> Something to the right of the Rec center and health center, with a large detention pond >> New building on lot 6A by the Quads and CV2 >> New building on Lot 13A by the Heyne building >> New building coming from Cullen Blvd to McElhinney Hall >> slew of new buildings going across lots 10A, all of lot 9, and 8B it seems >> What I assume to be a new garage taking up part of lot 4A >> different floor plan for the tech annex compared to rn, good chance that's getting replaced >> New food hall where the old satellite used to be >> New moody building 😢 >> A lot of new greenspaces That's it for now, also if you find anything on the map I missed ping me. Guess we need to prepare for the next 7 years cause UH is going to be booming.

    Found some stuff from the planning commission. Site Plan: sectioning of the two bottom buildings: 2d rendering of the phase 1 mixed use (4 floors) and a building elevation of the phase 2 mixed use (20 floors) Looks to be another big mixed use development. Probably going to be a pretty bustling lot when completely developed. IMO mixed used = best use for 24/7 activity.

    Rendering and massing There's an absolute crap ton of information provided by @Houston19514 in that pdf (also includes i-45 redo, and many, many other things). Main takeaways: >> completion sometime 2021!?!?!? >> being redeveloped by Phoenix Development Partners >> includes 482 units with 100 units given the affordable designation >> 345 efficiency (362 sf), 22 efficiency +(467sf), 92 studio (507-585 sf), 22 two bedroom and two bath (1038 sf) >> 482 total parking spaces, also a bike storage area totaling 521 sf on the ground floor. >> 1257 sf of ground floor retail >> Garage roof >> ground floor plan with Bike Storage Again going to quote @Houston19514 for giving us this monstrous amount of information, which also includes much more than what I posted. Including garage floor plan, rooftop floor plan, efficiency/studo/bedroom floor plan, etc.
  11. TheSirDingle
    😅We'll have to see
  12. TheSirDingle
    <BUMP> So anybody see that pdf posted in the I-45 thread?
  13. TheSirDingle
    OMG literally 20+ pages on the Holiday Inn!!! Looks like they're trying to open 2021? Honestly somebody should post all of that info in the Holiday Inn thread, I honestly didn't expect this.

    🤔 Wonder how many high rises would be needed to connect the skyline from The Allen to Downtown? I'm betting about 8-10 more are needed (hell maybe 5 extra thicc ones). Now lets take this a little bit farther, how many are needed to connected Hanover square and Downtown completely? Now we're getting real L E N G T H. Excluding the current developments, maybe 25-30?

    Found a couple permits going over the core buildings. Wonder if that has anything to do with the lot block off. Both permits are carbon copies of each other, maybe they're going through each parcel of the helix? Now going back to @Highrise Tower post, it's basically the same thing with with the exception of newer date, permit type, and buyer/address. Also does anybody know what these permit types mean? for example the AM and PX ones. Good chance ground breaking is soon, those barriers look oddly ground breaking like.
  16. TheSirDingle
    Some more info and renderings
  17. TheSirDingle
    Couldn't get any pics, but they're digging real deep on this one. I'm saying it's already a floor and a half down.
  18. TheSirDingle
    Literally tearing up the whole street, also looks like part of the new sidewalks are in.
  19. TheSirDingle
  20. TheSirDingle
    Looking real good
  21. TheSirDingle
    Food hall and commisary build out permits. Looks like we're getting even more food options in and near Downtown. Full list:
  22. TheSirDingle
    Looks like this one is going up 🥳 Full List:

    Agreed, Preston never delivers on their promises. I mean it's not a bad design, hell it's actually pretty above average compared to most. Its just why didn't they just shrink down the other design, it still would of looked great with a few floors cut off. Come on Preston do better, hope Caydon doesn't choose them again. I have a feeling a large part of the scale back was part of the deep dive the hotel market did, while Kimpton is a high tier brand even they can't avoid this massive of a melt down. They might of had a pretty large say in this design change, considering the circumstances. I'm sure this isn't go to negatively affect the rest of the development, since this is honestly the best time to build condos/residential (I think I spotted some permits for the other parts). Although while it's scaled down considerably, it's still a great addition to the overall development and a once dead area of Houston. I'm hopping the laneways concept takeoffs in Houston, just love the idea of large pedestrian oriented, vehicle free canyons. While I wish they would of kept the original design, this will still be a massive plus to the skyline and pedestrian environment of Houston/midtown.

    Ladies and gentlemen... We have a permit.
  25. TheSirDingle
    I've seen some over reactions to design changes, but this takes the cake 🤣🤣
