Yes, it's at the Docks at Timbergove just east of both these apartments projects.

sorry, I meant the bit about McNair working on a mixed use development including hotel, office, resi, and retail. 

Did we know this about the McNair site?

....they haven't even broke ground.

 

They can plan, but nobody seems to be in a rush to get this thing built but good news they will move in to this unbuilt project in 3-4 years IF they break ground before the summer.

I doubt Oxy is super concerned w that ATM, their current office lease runs through like 2032. Odds are the earliest they could realistically vacate Greenway Plaza is 2027 or 2028 anyways.

Would've been a lot more metal if they modeled the building after one of their coffins and then blasted the entirety of "floating coffin" by thee oh sees on loop 24/7

GID mismanaged this project to such a degree it's almost hard to fathom. Literally next door to them Hanover was able to do in 3 years what GID has failed miserably to do in more than 15. Can someone buy them out of this project already? Their basis on that dirt must be microscopic at this point. Spare us any more misery.

Pickard Chilton should mean an architecturally interesting design. Can't wait to see the renderings. 

Building 3 and garage will get demolished. They'll convert that space into a "City Centre" type development. No idea if a denser component like hotel or multifmaily will be a part of that but it didn't sound like it. Taking a surplus of obsolete office space and converting it to walkable retail is definitely the play.

My guess is that the Menil Foundation has other longer term plans for the surface lot, so they don’t want to build a more “permanent” parking garage. Just a hunch.

This is assuredly the case. I saw a master plan for the Menil 8 or 9 years ago and there are several other dense developments planned. Obviously plans change but the folks at the Menil are not going to short change their patrons, benefactors, and community.

Those lights really add a great touch.

Does anyone know what is the deal with the corner Unit at the corner of Shepherd feeder and the trail? Perfect spot for a grocer!!

They were in talks w a high-end boutique department store concept (for lack of a better term) for that spot as of a few months ago.

The tenant lounge and outdoor patio are particularly well done in this building. Great addition to downtown along w Brava.

I'm sorry I have zero clue on how to respond to specific posts (would love some advice).  New here.

1001 McKinney isnt a candidate because its a well-occupied building.  And thank you to whomever posted the renovated pictures.  That renovation was a ton of work.  And yes the building is for sale but best use is currently office.

 

The most ripe conversion deal downtown is 1010 Lamar which now uses the old Sakowiz building as its garage.  Both the building and the garage should be converted, but you have to lease SOME parking or find alternate parking.

 

 

For the love of god somebody buy that building from Younan and do this.

Converting the hotel in to apartments. I noticed it had a green construction fencing around it a couple weeks ago.

Thought I was taking crazy pills for a second but realized this is for Levy Park in Upper Kirby and @hindesky you posted this under Levit Green near TMC.

Houston needs some of these timber projects, especially midtown and the eastside.

This is exactly what I would have expected for this lot, especially w what Skanska is planning next door. Decent infill, nothing more, nothing less, and what this area needs.

I wonder if they are hurting for money.

haha you realize people sell assets in times other than being short on cash, right?

The bus stop was completely elective and funded 100% by the project's developer in an effort to enhance the streetscape and aesthetics.  It was actually designed by the project's architect, Michael Hsu Office of Architecture in compliance with the latest Metro standards.

Was going to share exactly this. If every developer treated their projects like Radom our city would be in infinitely better shape. 

fantastic aesthetic for the neighborhood.
