    https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/mixed-use/tilman-fertittas-the-post-oak-moves-construction-forward-51856?rt=title The Post Oak, Tilman Fertitta’s game changing vertical mixed-use development, poured concrete Friday. We sat down with Tilman (right) and Landry’s SVP of development Jeff Cantwell over some Popeye’s (he might be one of Houston’s top five richest real estate moguls, but he says fancy executive lunches just aren’t his style), where he told us he’s launching Houston’s first vertical mixed-use hotel/office/multifamily/retail/restaurant development “because I could.” He says the project won’t be replicated anytime soon here because the numbers don’t pencil out, but he hopes that a decade from now, people will look back and say The Post Oak really changed Houston’s high-end multi-use development scene. This rendering is actually outdated; the team has added one story to the tower. He’s especially excited about the 250-key hotel, which he says will be by far the nicest in Houston and will command the highest ADR. It’ll be the metro’s first five-fixture hotel (each bathroom will have two sinks, separate toilet room, separate bath and shower, plus floor-to-ceiling marble). The 140k SF of boutique office (he's bulked it up) will be really special, Tilman tells us, including nice executive parking. Its services will be huge, including Bentley pickup service at the airport or five-star hotel room service for your late-night meeting. The 36-story, 680k SF tower will open in fall 2017.

    Improvements like this would be great for lower Westheimer.

    http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2015/10/tilman-fertittas-uptown-mixed-use-projectgets.html The 10-acre project, dubbed The Post Oak, has added an extra floor and will now be 36 stories with an additional level providing access to a helicopter landing pad. The additional space will be used for 10 additional hotel rooms and 20,000 more feet of boutique office space. The now 680,000-square-foot tower will include 250 luxury hotel rooms, more than 140,000 square feet of boutique office space and 22 residential apartment units. The structure will be 490 feet tall, Fertitta said, including a penthouse with 16-foot ceilings. Fertitta's especially excited about the "ultra-high-end" hotel, where he said the rooms will have "the highest rate in Houston." A flag has yet to be decided, but several are in the running, he said. The vertical mixed-use project will also include event space, an open plaza with a pool, and two Landry's Inc. concepts, Mastro's Steakhouse and Willie G's Seafood and Steaks. Other notable amenities include a two-story spa and salon and a two-story Bentley and Rolls-Royce showroom.

    My understanding is that residential and hotels are allowed signage downtown. Someone else commented that it is a little more complicated than that, but I don't know the details.

    The reflection of the skyline... excellent.

    https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/retail/houston-surpasses-dallas-in-retail-appeal-50916 Houston Surpasses Dallas in Retail Appeal Houston is becoming a regular second market for companies looking to expand beyond their home base, and it’s typical for Houston to be a brand’s third-best location behind New York and Los Angeles. And it’s not because Houston’s a discount play, Nick says—the rents at the River Oaks District prove that, and he says the team’s about to take those to a whole new level there.

The 6,000-square-foot space has been transformed into a visually arresting restaurant and cocktail lounge inspired by some of the world's hottest dining and nightclub venues.

    Interesting. I thought I might have remembered people talking about a pocket park, but it could also be a courtyard just for Holiday Inn.

    I walked that corridor yesterday. Amazing how much connectivity those residential developments are creating.

    https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/deal-sheet/this-weeks-houston-deal-sheet-49718 Skanska and subcontractor Baker Concrete Construction completed the mat foundation pour for the future Capitol Tower development Downtown. The two-day operation laid a 35k SF footprint and used 9,300 cubic yards of concrete and 2.4M pounds of rebar. Capitol Tower is one of only three buildings in the US to receive LEED Platinum v4 pre-certification. That sustainability was at play during the mat pour—60% of the cement needed was replaced with fly ash, a recycled product that will prevent 1 million pounds of CO2 emissions. Skanska will also complete the seven-story garage on the southern portion of the property and continue construction on the north side up to street level, but will not go vertical on its 35-story, 750k SF office tower until it locks in an anchor tenant.

    I agree, Midtown has some pretty good sidewalks in certain areas but I'm a little confused why this is not all sidewalk and landscaping (without grass). Seems like an incremental cost when compared to the total redo. However, building is top notch.
