  1. I was reading the newspaper The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated October 18, 1967 and came across an overlooked Hines development. Electric Living Center Will Give Many Answers To Homeowners The Electric Living Center, a new facility to serve as a consumer information center on all phases of electrical usage in the home, is being built by Houston Lighting & Power Company. The all-electric Center will be located on a 1.12-acre tract fronting on the east side of the West Loop (Highway 610) between San Felipe and Westheimer. Its proximity to the Southwest Freeway and Post Oak Interchange will make it easily reached from all parts of Houston. It is being built to HL&PCO specifications by Gerald D. Hines Interests and will be the second building completed in the Smith Office Park complex. Architects are Neuhaus & Taylor, consulting engineers, Chenault & Brady. General contractor is Harvey Construction Company. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls will form the 50-foot front and two 100-foot sides of the building, which will be heated and cooled by two electric heat pumps. Exposed structural material will be bush hammered concrete. The appliance display area will be in the front (west end) of Center. The general public will be able to inquire here about electric cooking, heating and air conditioning, home and garden lighting, kitchen design and arrangement, proper home wiring and the use of small appliances. The two electric kitchens--- One on the stage of the auditorium and the other at the rear of the building. --- Will be used for cooking demonstrations to groups meeting in the center. A luminous ceiling will light both the auditorium and display area. The ceiling’s light intensity will be controlled by a dimmer switch making infinite variations possible between zero- and 200-foot candles.
  2. Does anyone know anything about this project? I wonder the exact location? Maybe it has since been demolished for housing? The article was half cut in half so I cannot read the top half, maybe giving more information. Found in the scrapbook of Barbara Jordan's Activities, January - December 1977. Company based in Atlanta and operates a Houston branch office as an affiliate of North American Van Lines. The Houston project is based on an agreement negotiated by Mike Hill, a broker with Coldwell Banker Commercial Brokerage Co. Twenty-four companies are now occupying distribution, office, light manufacturing and service space in Northwest Industrial Park, a 197-acre development started in 1967 by the Hines Industrial Corp. subsidiary of the Houston-based Gerald D. Hines Interests.
  3. I never knew Hines bought an industrial business park in Southeast Houston. Hines Acquires Underwood Distribution Center - Rebrands as Independence Logistics Park 2.2 million-square-foot rail served park in Port of Houston kicks off new development https://www.hines.com/news/hines-acquires-underwood-distribution-center-rebrands-as-independence-logistics-park (HOUSTON) – Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that it has acquired the Underwood Distribution Center, a Class A industrial park located in the heart of the Southeast submarket near the Port of Houston in LaPorte, Texas, from BlackRock. Financials on the deal were not disclosed. The project consists of a five-building logistics park and 2.2 million square feet, plus three development parcels. Hines’ first addition to the development will be Building 6, capable of a 167,000-square-foot front-load distribution building with delivery slated for the fourth quarter of 2017. Hines Managing Director Charlie Meyer added, “With Pinto Business Park in the north, Beltway Southwest in the southwest and now Independence Logistics Park in the southeast, we are happy with our continued growth in Houston.”
  4. The Hines business parks are overlooked for some reason. They've actually been developing a lot within the past decade. Hines Launches 150-Acre Business Park in Katy, TX https://www.hines.com/news/hines-launches-150-acre-business-park-in-katy-tx (HOUSTON) – Hines, the international real estate firm, has entered into an exclusive joint venture with Katy Partners, LTD to develop a 150-acre land parcel in Katy, Texas, into the newest Hines business park, named Pintail Crossing. With frontage on Interstate 10, the Class A, master-planned business park is located at the northwest corner of Interstate 10 and Igloo Road between the Amazon and Igloo distribution centers.
  5. Came across a smaller business park on Hines website earlier this week. Beltway Southwest Business Park https://www.hines.com/properties/beltway-southwest-business-park-houston In 2015, Hines acquired approximately 75 acres of land in southwest Houston located at the northeast corner of Beltway 8 and Fort Bend Toll Road to develop Beltway Southwest Business Park, a Class A, master-planned business park capable of accommodating approximately 950,000 square feet of light manufacturing and distribution space.
  6. I noticed this on Hines website the other day. I never knew about this! https://www.hines.com/properties/grand-national-business-park-houston In 2018, Hines acquired 107 acres at the southeast corner of the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) and Gessner Road in the heart of the northwest submarket of Houston. Hines developed over 1.2 million square feet of industrial/logistics space and included an amenity retail center on the Beltway 8 frontage along with a business-class hotel. Branded as Grand National Business Park, phases one, two and three consist of more than 1.2 million square feet of logistics space. The project is the newest large, modern format distribution park in the northwest submarket of Houston and is able to meet requirements of 20,000 square feet to 1 million square feet. Hines sold Phase One of Grand National Business Park in October 2020 and Phase Two in July 2021.
  7. Hines is building a new warehouse center at 2304 Reed Road near Almeda Road.
  8. I was hoping someone would have some pictures of the galleria from back in the day...at 21 I don't really have much of a memory of how it used to be except for the connecting area between galleria 1 and 2 with the seventies-lookin light fixtures.
  9. It's not quite going up yet, but I'm confident it will be soon as there have been recent reports about their plans including this one from this past Friday. We can change the title once it is announced. From the article: The article also mentions that other potential locations are the Med Center, Energy Corridor, downtown and even suburban locations like The Woodlands and Sugar Land. http://www.chron.com/business/sarnoff/article/Sarnoff-Ashby-high-rise-developers-request-first-3832588.php#photo-3396224
  10. Former home of Gerald Hines in River Oaks hits market for $34.5M https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2021/03/10/gerald-hines-former-home-river-oaks-for-sale.html The Mediterranean-style mansion that late Houston real estate mogul Gerald Hines called home for decades is officially on the market with an asking price of $34.5 million. The 17,405-square-foot, three-story mansion at 2920 Lazy Lane sits on a 4.5-acre property in the Homewoods neighborhood of River Oaks. The primary home has four to five bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. There's also an adjoining guest apartment and a separate caretaker’s residence. Hines, who died in August at the age of 95, was, of course, known for his keen interest in real estate. For his own home, Hines turned to close friend and renowned architect Philip Johnson for advice. Johnson recommended New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects to design an Italian-style villa that recalled Hines’ vacations in Tuscany. Stern Architects is known for designing estates for wealthy homebuyers around the world. When the home was completed in 1992, Hines nicknamed it Adagio, Italian for “at a slow tempo.” The home features a number of design elements reminiscent of its Mediterranean muses, including terra cotta roof tiles, white columns, grand hallways with arched doorways and domed ceilings.
  11. Hines Announces Stabilization of Phase I of Boulevard Oaks Business Park and Start of Second Phase. https://www.hines.com/news/hines-announces-stabilization-of-phase-i-of-boulevard-oaks-business-park-and-start-of-second-phase (HOUSTON) — Hines, the international real estate firm, today announced the completion and stabilization of the 450,000-square-foot first phase of Boulevard Oaks Business Park, and the start of construction on the second phase—which will be comprised of six additional buildings totaling approximately 1.15 million square feet. At buildout, Boulevard Oaks Business Park will consist of 10 Class A industrial buildings totaling approximately 1.6 million square feet of floor area on 120 acres of land. Boulevard Oaks Business Park is the premier corporate logistics park in southwest Houston, located just north of Beltway 8 along West Fuqua Street. The business park lines both sides of West Fuqua Street, a tree-lined, four-lane divided thoroughfare with direct access to a full interchange on Beltway 8; creating an insulated, unique environment in an extremely accessible location. The four-building first phase of the park is currently 95% occupied by eight tenants, with one block of rear-load space remaining, totaling 25,000 square feet. Phase II will consist of six additional buildings—three rear-load facilities between 110,000 and 160,000 square feet, two front-load facilities between 105,000 and 125,000 rentable square feet, and one cross-dock facility totaling 530,000 square feet. The anticipated completion date for the second phase of the project is the third quarter of 2020. Hines Director, Laura Denkler, stated, “We are especially proud of the look and feel within the business park that we are creating at Boulevard Oaks, and have received an incredibly positive response from the market for our efforts. To achieve more than 90% lease up on the first phase at the time of substantial completion of the project is a testament to the location, access, and building quality within the park.” Boulevard Oaks is exclusively represented for leasing by Jim Foreman and Allison Bergmann of Cushman & Wakefield. Burton Construction is the general contractor, and Powers Brown is the architect of record.
  12. Wish the Sterling Hotel was gracing downtown right now. Also, the Westin/Doubletree was built. That's the hotel on Post Oak Blvd that was a Hilton for a long time...
  13. While the GRB at least made a stab at mid-1980s post-modern stylishness, this monstrosity was ugly from the word go. The ugly plain exterior is offset by a tacky, low-quality interior, highlighted by a strange plastic "sculpture." At least the front facade of the Wortham is partly hidden from the street by the trees in the plaza in front.

  17. http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto...1.html?ana=e_ph So maybe rent-a-cops on golfcarts won't feel the need to annoy certain photographers anymore?
  18. Does anybody know what's going on here? It's right on the red line and the block has had some activity recently.
  19. Swamplot is reporting that Hines is buying up property near the relatively new Asia Society Texas Center to construct a 20 to 22 story apartment tower. Swamplot article
  20. http://www.munozalbin.com/21-macy-s-downtown.html I just saw this about a Macys redevelopment do anyone know if this is going to happen?

  22. Per the chron.com site, Hines has purchsed the Cafe Adobe site on Westheimer. I am assuming this also includes the surface lot across the street. To me, this site is too small for the typical 4-5 story apartment complex wrapped around structured parking. Could Hines be going vertical with an apartment high rise? http://blog.chron.co...eimer-property/
