  1. I would imagine that if City and County money is involved, they have a certain mission they want to accomplish with the money, and tenant protection is one of those missions. They are not in the business of for-profit development.
  2. Six stories now? Either that does not reflect the garage floors, or it's the Incredible Shrinking Building...
  3. That skyscraper has languished, as the oil industry has downsized. Chevron has said they will leave the headquarters in San Ramon, but they are hinting they will move most of the remaining California employees to Houston (and have incentivized it). I'm not sure there are enough personnel to justify a new tower anymore, especially with remote work situations. I'm also not sure we can expect new hires. The industry's been burned too often. On the other hand, they might have a need for contractors, and those contractors might be expected to be onsite. Also, vacant space is plentiful. All of that together says no new skyscraper anytime soon.
  4. Seabrook Town Center "...The Seabrook Town Center, just north of the intersection of State Highway 146 and Repsdorph Road, has been in the works for some years, but finally all puzzle pieces seem to be in place for the project to become a reality. Houston-based HS Development Group, typically focused on multifamily and student housing, acquired the 19.5-acre property earlier this month from Santa Barbara, California-based Pacific Ridge. HS took over the contract from Houston-based WMF Investments in February, HS Development Group COO Steve Helm said... ...The plan includes a four-story, 322-unit apartment complex and 19,000 square feet of retail and restaurants surrounding a plaza with event lawn as well as some office space. “We’ll have a stage. There'll be a turf surface for kids to play ball or whatever on and four … pad sites,” Helm said. “They could be restaurant or retail pads out front along (Highway) 146.” The 19.5-acre development will be called The Edge at Seabrook Town Centre, the spelling of “center” notably different from the overall Seabrook Town Center, which includes a few more acres to the south..."
  5. I hope the corridor gets like that, but it's going to take a whole lot of start-ups and incredible leasing demand. This is where the VC to turn some of those TMC spin-offs into big companies could make this a reality...
  6. If they broke ground, it should be possible to see at least a start...
  7. 130k sf suggests a midrise. The original Oxberry from 20 years ago was quite a bit taller, as I recall...
  8. Maybe no zoning works? We shall see... Houston and Zoning
  9. I went looking on SCB's website to find this project. They did one tower for Hanover in Uptown, but this one didn't appear to be there yet...
  10. That's a Tel Aviv complaint. Maybe in other places, but it's not like those Chinese high-rises.
  11. Interesting. Chevron just announced they're moving more people from San Ramon to Houston. If they're not building anything new, then where are they putting these relocated people up?
  12. So they're in the renderings business. Interesting older render of 2120 Post Oak on that site...
  13. Zombie project, like the Langley? And that's just the garage...
  14. It works in the middle of the city, but I'm seeing this kind of development out by Lake Conroe. And it's apparently a nationwide thing.
