I was just wondering, how far apart are these two developments and do you all thing these two sites could change the perception of Houston as a urban walkable city? Which development do you think has the greatest potential for development? Some say that the KBR site should become a park, but I believe that there could be a much better use for the site. KBR Site Regent Square

There was a fairly extensive article written on the potential of four new buildings in the CityWestPlace complex out along the Beltway near Westheimer. It also went into detail about how Westchase in general is really tight in terms of vacancy rates. Here are two scans from today's paper http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w208/houtosme/HouConstruction/HBJCitywestbuildings.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w208/houtosme/HouConstruction/HBJCitywestbuildings2.jpg

Dec. 4, 2004, 10:42PM Pitching a downtown dream Developers see loft-style offices, condos tied into flashy retailing, entertainment By NANCY SARNOFF Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle Picture this: A luxury hotel, residential condominiums and loft-style offices, all connected by flashy urban retail, entertainment and culture. Now picture it in downtown Houston. An ambitious pair of developers wants to build the city's biggest mixed-use project yet on what is now three parking lots just off Main Street. Bill Denton, a developer from California, and Geoff Jones, a local developer, are behind this concept that seems almost too good to be true. Denton and Jones have signed a sales contract to buy the three blocks of downtown land bordered by Main, Polk, Dallas and Caroline. They're out there pitching their project to potential retailers and investors. But they won't talk to the media about it until they're further along in their plans. That's probably not a bad strategy. Houston has seen countless developers announce huge real estate projects that never seem to make it out of the ground. So are these guys for real? Denton's company, Entertainment Development Group, is based in Agoura Hills, Calif. It's certainly worth noting that he was behind a large retail project in Denver that many folks believed would never happen. Built in 1998, Denver Pavilions is now a hugely successful entertainment and retail complex with dozens of retail stores and restaurants, a nightclub and a 15-screen movie theater. The project is made up of four three-story buildings, linked by walkways and escalators, that cover two blocks on Denver's famous 16th Street Mall. Tenants include Virgin Megastore, Hard Rock Cafe, NikeTown, Barnes & Noble Superstore, Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe, Maggiano's Little Italy and Lucky Strike Lanes, a hip bowling alley concept. According to the project's Web site, the $108 million development was financed in part by Rosche Finanz of Freiberg, Germany, and Hensel Phelps Construction Co. The closest things downtown Houston has to cutting-edge mixed-use real estate projects are Bayou Place in the Theater District and Houston Center near the George R. Brown Convention Center. But half of Bayou Place has sat vacant since it opened years ago. Just last week, owner Cordish Co. said it wants to build residential units there. And Houston Center is still facing identity issues despite recent repositioning efforts by the owner, Crescent. It's still way too early to predict the future of these three city blocks. Time and interest in downtown Houston will be the ultimate judge. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/printstory.mpl/business/2931451- 8,201 replies

So, I was talking to some coworkers today, and we got off on the topic of the flag on top of our building. One of the guys that had been there for many many years informed us that the US flag on the top of the building was once MUCH MUCH larger than it is today....he said that, in fact it used to drape over the building and cover up the windows of the 43rd and 42nd floors when the wind wasn't blowing. As to why we have a smaller flag now...well apparently when the wind was blowing at a good clip and 'ol glory was pulled out taut, it created so much force that it damaged the top 3 stories of the building that the pole mounts down through. The American General CEO flew the huge flag that he wanted, even though the engineers had told him it was a no no. Personally, I think the flag should be double or triple its current size....the mass of the building makes it look kinda puny.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6280447.html The U.S. Postal Service is selling the downtown post office after 47 years of sorting and delivering mail from the 16-acre operation. Whoever buys the property at 401 Franklin must build a replacement processing facility for the postal service, as well as provide a retail location near the existing site where consumers can mail packages and buy stamps.

I'm curious as to what everyone thinks of it. It was the last big project of note during the 80's, and it's been through several name changes throughout it's tenure. It just seems so odd that it isn't connected to the tunnels (The food court below doesn't count), and that they're only now establishing retail above ground...

I couldn't find a thread on this elsewhere on HAIF, but as usual it's probably out there somewhere. Eldridge Oaks (Eldridge Parkway at Enclave Parkway) has been announced to have two office towers. The first tower is supposed to be finished in Fall 2009 with 350,000 square feet. Anyone want to guess how many stories that is?

Just happened to be driving by and I spotted a huge crane behind (I think) the Men's clubor the Marriott garden inn. I couldn't quite tell what it was doing there aside from just quietly sitting there.

Drove by a sign today at the Lakes on Post Oak complex near Hidalgo and McCue (across the street from Nordstroms). It appears from the site plan that they are going to place retail into the existing parking garage and and some surrounding the part next to Hidalgo...what do you guys think of the renderings?...and on a sidenote the sign said it was being done by Hermes Architects, but couldn't find anything on their site about this. http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2596/cimg3037xo5.th.jpg http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/38/cimg3038is5.th.jpg http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3883/cimg3036gm7.th.jpg -

Covenant House Texas expanding services https://www.tmc.edu/news/2019/08/covenant-house-texas-expanding-services/ The organization has launched a capital campaign—Building for Life, Homelessness to Hope—that aims to raise about $25 million over the next three to five years, Executive Director Leslie Bourne said. In July, Covenant House Texas purchased an office building across the street, on Lovett Boulevard. The structure will be a key component of a campus reconstruction and expansion project. To bring attention to this daily crisis, Texas Medical Center President and CEO William “Bill” McKeon will oversee Covenant House Texas’ largest annual fundraiser on Nov. 21. As honorary chair of the 2019 Sleep Out: Executive Edition, McKeon hopes to raise $1 million by seeking the commitment of Houston business leaders—many of whom will spend the night outside to more closely connect with the reality of homelessness. “We’re here to draw awareness to some- thing we drive by every day and don’t see,” McKeon said during a spring luncheon with young adults on campus, noting that youth aren’t top-of-mind for many people who think about or encounter the homeless.

I like the guy that plays the trumpet out in front of the Sakowitz garage around lunchtime. The block is pretty much tied up with whatever the owner of 1010 Lamar wants to do since they have coupled their tower with the Sakowitz garage.

More on the JPMorgan Chase Center here: http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/Building/2757/JPMorgan_Chase_Center.php http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/HAI/Images/Buildings/1/ChaseCenter-Jan08-002a.jpg TEXAS TOWER LIMITED ACQUIRES JPMORGAN CHASE CENTER IN DOWNTOWN HOUSTON Hines Chosen to Manage and Lease Property (HOUSTON) – Texas Tower Limited, owner of the 75-story JPMorgan Chase Tower, announced today the acquisition of the adjacent JPMorgan Chase Center in downtown Houston from JPMorgan Chase. The 20-story building is located at 601 Travis on the block bounded by Capitol, Travis, Texas and Main streets. The purchase price was not disclosed. Hines and Clifford Chance US LLP of New York represented Texas Tower Limited in the transaction, while Mark Russell at Studley represented JPMorgan Chase. It was also announced that Hines has been hired to manage and lease the 1.1 million-square-foot property, which includes approximately 450,000 square feet of office and retail space. Paula Bruns and Liz Shaw of Hines will handle leasing. The Center, which was completed in 1982, was designed by I.M. Pei & Partners and developed by Hines. Over the years, JPMorgan Chase has used the location as a data processing and operations center. The bank is consolidating to 712 Main and 1111 Fannin, retaining just 26,000 square feet at the Center. Upon Chase’s departure, 250,000 square feet will be available for lease. In addition to JPMorgan Chase, The Bank of New York Mellon leases office space in the Center. Connected to the extensive downtown Houston tunnel system, JPMorgan Chase Center contains 12 levels of parking, six levels of office space, and on the ground level, an auditorium and retail space. An exercise facility is planned for the top floor of the building. The parking garage, which is leased by JPMorgan Chase Tower, is utilized by the tower’s tenants and by people visiting downtown Houston for various daytime, evening and weekend events. In Houston, Hines manages 26 properties totaling approximately 13 million square feet.
