  3. Stopped by the site today. Awesome looking property. Had a conversation with the neighbor. It's actually two homes and some land by the bayou. The neighbor said apartments would be terrible due to the small road around that bend. The 4 acres down the street, formerly The Monaco, is owned by a Canadian guy.

  5. Stage Stores is the corporate name, and the headquarters are here in Houston at 2425 West Loop South.
  6. Here's the best info from the article: The project has broken ground: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/columnists/sarnoff/article/High-end-office-building-underway-west-of-downtown-5920360.php#/3 http://ww1.hdnux.com/photos/33/35/11/7197296/5/1366x1366.jpg http://ww3.hdnux.com/photos/33/35/11/7197298/5/1366x1366.jpg http://ww2.hdnux.com/photos/33/35/11/7197297/5/1366x1366.jpg http://ww4.hdnux.com/photos/33/35/11/7197299/5/1366x1366.jpg

  9. So, I was walking down W Main St., after a workout, and right next to the new midrise/ townhouse development, which is going up in the area, there was demolition of two houses and possibly the other two that lead up to Weslayan St. I'm sure swamplot had them in a demolition report at some point, but was immediately curious what might take their place. If all 4 of those houses go then certainly some sort of mini midrise or large townhomes will replace these. Any idea what's up? Sorry I don't have any pictures.
  10. Does anyone know if/where Micro Center would be relocating if this is true? From Swamplot: http://swamplot.com/did-micro-center-just-sell-its-houston-location-to-amegy-bank/2014-02-25/ The self-proclaimed “industry insider” behind a new office-space rumor website tells Swamplot that it’s “well-known . . . amongst the tenant/landlord representative crowd” that Amegy Bank has purchased the 4.13-acre site at 1717 West Loop South just north of San Felipe that’s currently home to Houston’s only Micro Center store. The owner and would-be seller of the property, according to county tax records, is the Ohio-based parent company of the 47,800-sq.-ft. computer and electronics store, which has been operating in that location since 1994. There is only one other Micro Center location in Texas. *** “The property, which is just down the street from [Amegy Bank's] current office at Five Post Oak Park,” reports the rumor site, “is the supposed site for Amegy to build their own 10-12 story office tower. Rumblings suggest that this move is the result of a lease renewal disagreement between Amegy and their current landlord Shorenstein.” If the rumor is true, would the computer retailer be looking for another Houston location, or just close up shop here? Swamplot has contacted both Micro Center and Amegy Bank for comment. We’ll add an update if we hear anything back. http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/micro-center.jpg Webcam: http://www.workzonecam.com/projects/amegybank/amegybank/workzonecam Renderings: http://www.justintowart.com/wp-content/uploads/Towart-Work13-Arch-Illustration-6.jpghttp://www.justintowart.com/wp-content/uploads/Towart-Work13-Arch-Illustration-7.jpg http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/amegy-tower-rendering.jpg
  11. This is a few years away as of now. They also didn't mention where these would be built. In the same spot or a different location? http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/City-plans-hugely-important-new-justice-complex-5094942.php?cmpid=albtfp
  12. Last I checked, the Skanska project has 5 tunnel connections. Also I think we should all remember that Linebeck, Skanska, and Hines are all chasing the same group of potential tenants. I think we will see one of the three go in the next year maybe two if we are lucky. Now the good news is that there is a 50ish story tower that will beat all 3 of these out of the ground.

  14. Looks like the Exxon-Mobile campus has sparked more development; this time a 10-story building for Southwestern Energy. Per the article, the building is to be located at the corner of I-45 and the Hardy (which is probably just a generic location for SWV itself). http://www.bizjourna...ds-village.html
  15. The thought crossed my mind when I read the chron.com article this morning about Chevron buying the second former Enron building and the YMCA land... Have there been any rumors that Chevron is moving more people here or consolidating somehow? Any chance they would move their HQ from California here?
  16. Alliantgroup (Alliant Group) Cooperate Headquarters At 3009 Post Oak Blvd. Late 2010 groundbreaking, delivering in 2012 14 stories 300,000 SF LEED Gold Directly across from Waterwall On proposed METRO Uptown line Developed, built, and self-financed by Skanska i dont know how to post the pic so here's a PDF picture, i'm sure someone much smarter than i can post it. 3009 post oak.pdf
  17. HBJ reports today that ExxonMobil plans to build a new very large campus in Spring (west of I-45 at the point where the Hardy Toll Road intersects with I-45). The plan is to consolidate pretty much everything except for the downtown operations. Also reports a rumor that at least parts of the Refining & Marketing HQ operations may move from Virginia.
  18. This past year the El Paso Corp has begun renovation work on its downtown Houston headquarters. The building was completed in 1963 and was the first of the many steel highrises and skyscrapers to come along later. Until recently, it was known as the Tenneco building. EP companies are the sole tenant. The building has not been remodeled or had a major upgrade since it's completion and it was decided that a renovation was needed. The building's utilities are being replaced and upgraded floor by floor and special attention is being made to make the new renovation "green" and LEED compliant. Fire sprinklers are being added after so many years. So far several newly renovated floors have opened and they are very impressive. Perimeter enclosed offices have been done away with and moved in and replaced with glass walls leaving an open aisle all around the perimeter of the floor. The new space is bright and airy with natural light. All new offices and cubicles have been brought in with wood accents and frosted glass. Office doors are glass and slide on tracks. Many people comment that the overall look is reminiscent of IKEA style. Each floor has its own new common area in the central elevator lobby now featuring a coffee and kitchen area with stainless steel appliances, refrigerators and large flat screen monitors. Restaraunt style seating areas and pub height tables give workers a casual place to meet and have lunch. At each elevator lobby a large floor to ceiling size blow up of a black and white photo from the company's history makes an interesting detail and gives workers a sense of history and appreciation of the hard work from before the modern computer age. In two opposite corners of each new floor are casual seeting and meeting lounge style areas with whiteboard walls and comfortable chairs. These areas look out on the downtown view. Several new conference rooms have also been included in the new floor plans. This renovation will take place over the course of the next several years and tentative plans include a remodeling of the tunnel area and the ground floor, exterior and 1st floor lobby. The large two story windows on the second floor that were damaged during Hurricane Ike were temporarily repaired and will be replaced later. They are very expensive and take several months to get. Hopefully the renovations will be completed and EP will have a new headquarters that will be the envy of downtown.

  20. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/5473590.html The replies are hilarious, too.
  21. From the HBJ, I don't have access to the whole article: "The Four Oaks Place office complex may soon be more appropriately named Five Oaks Place. The owner of the 1.8 million-square-foot office complex in the Galleria area is looking at spending between $100 million and $120 million to develop a new office building at 1550 Post Oak Blvd., where a 24 Hour Fitness is currently located" Webcam: http://oxblue.com/open/transwestern/5oaks Renderings, and article from 10/13: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2013/10/photos-developers-break-ground-on-bhp.html http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8518/8507440817_0fefe9fa75_b.jpg http://www.justintowart.com/wp-content/uploads/Towart-Work13-Arch-Illustration-40.jpg http://www.justintowart.com/wp-content/uploads/Towart-Work13-Arch-Illustration-42.jpg http://www.justintowart.com/wp-content/uploads/Towart-Work13-Arch-Illustration-43.jpg
  22. More good news for DT... I remember reading a few post from last year that mentioned, the new park would be a waste of money.
  23. Surely there has been retained a photograph of this unusual, at the time, architectural design. I worked there from 1979-1980 and have been trying to describe it to a friend, who doubts its existence. The "remodeling" in 1996 hath rendered what amounts to a new and drastically different design and she cannot visualize my descripton. It also was renamed several times, but I believe the latest is Houston Industries Building. I have Googled and Ask.com'ed ad nauseum and still no likeness of it. Here is a description from HH (Historic Houston): 1100 Milam Building 1100 Milam Street Architect: Joint Venture Ill: Koetter, Tharp, Cowell
  24. On a just-barely-related note: Many people know that Service Corporation International, the world's largest funeral home company, is headquartered in Houston. What most people don't know is that there is a cafeteria in the basement of their building. Even fewer people know its nickname is "The Coffin Cafe."
