That's actually a rendering for White Oak Highline.

Because someone almost always asks to see what's behind the HBJ paywall. It also saves other people time.

They put in a through street from Westcreek to the 610 feeder, so anyone who needs to make a left onto San Felipe from Westcreek can avoid doing so by taking the through street. Otherwise, making a right onto San Felipe isn't so bad.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Lennar-s-apartment-division-buys-Galleria-area-13841951.php Conflicting account of where exactly the site is located: The Gables project is SOUTH of the parcel that's on the corner of Westcreek/San Felipe and across from Arabella. Based on HCAD it appears that the lot is in fact on the corner of Westcreek/San Felipe. See Parcel A (BELOW)

Yeah this spot is way behind schedule, but that’s probably okay given that there’s a lot of buzz around Finn Hall at the moment, plus the soon to open Bravery.

https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/05/08/upcoming-heights-development-signs-three-new.html HBJ reporting the following tenants (in addition to Flower Child and Cyclebar) Salon Lofts (4200 sqft second-floor endcap) M+L Dental (2200 sqft second-floor) Vanguard Spine&Sport (3000 sqft second-floor endcap) Searching for soft-goods, wine bar or coffee shop for first-floor endcap. Development is expected to open Q4 2019.

Going to have retail locations for Fidelity, TD, and Schwab within a block of each other.

Did service Corp also purchase this land?

Atrocious.

Unless that's today's news, its several years old.

I agree. According to HBJ, Chevron has 8,000 employees downtown, which is over 3,000 more than Anadarko's company-wide headcount. Anadarko has 1,500 employees in Hackett Tower, the newer of the two. 1400 Smith (1.2m sqft) and 1500 Louisiana (1.3m sqft) are almost double the size of Allison Tower (800k sqft) and Hackett Tower (665k sqft). The third Chevron tower is planned to be 1.7m sqft and have room for 4,200 employees. So even if they kept all Anadarko HQ employees (they wont), they could all be absorbed into the new Chevron tower. In order for downtown employees to be accommodated in the Woodlands, they would have to reduce headcount (by thousands) and build at least 1 massive office tower.
