  1. Just a passing observation about the property across the street. 3535 Sage Road has a big for sale sign advertising 8.2 acre tract of land for sale. That’s pretty big chunk of land for this area. Also just south of 3525 Sage condos. Right now there is an abandoned two story commercial bldg along with a really big ugly parking lot. Looks like plenty of development opportunities around here… keeping my fingers crossed. Need lots more lovin in this part of town!
  2. This office building in Uptown located at 777 Post Oak Boulevard is home to Old Republic Title. Here's a photo I took the other month.
  3. I was wondering, are there any plans to build a light rail line to the "uptown houston" area? it would be really cool and with the west loop cursed by an ancient indian burial ground to have terrible traffic, i could see a lot of going to a park n ride and riding metrorail over there. PS: how do i edit my posts?
  4. 9-Acres on Fondren near Westheimer. Former Louis Shanks Furniture store site. Includes a 205,935-sf building. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2800-Fondren-Rd-Houston-TX/13714745/
  5. This warehouse/ previous body shop is going to be a new restaurant called Doves. It's southern inspired "vibe dinning." Its on a huge lot for just 1 restaurant. Instagram link shows what to expect for the interior and exterior https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMReJtDFvB/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=e51e00d3-90f4-4906-9038-73385e3865c0
  6. Rama Companies wants to turn the old car wash located at 6505 Del Monte Drive into a small retail center. Loopnet listing: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/6505-Del-Monte-Dr-Houston-TX/31577065/ Rendering.
  7. gene posted this in the BLVD Place thread in January... http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...st&p=225944 Now we have this... http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto...html?ana=e_ph#1 Hopefully it's not premature to post this in the Going Up! section.
  8. 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
  9. https://protecttanglewood.com/updates/ Location The Watermark Tanglewood (1661 Tanglewood Blvd.) Watermark Retirement Communities recently mailed a selective announcement to property owners in the area of a proposed 20 story, 62-year and older luxury community along with a marketing survey and invitation to a focus group study. The proposed site is owned by WMJK Ltd. The THA Board is still trying to gather information and understand if any alternative options might be available, such as potentially raising capital for private purchase of the property and converting it to a green space. It appears Watermark is currently in the due diligence and marketing phase for this development. Further communication will be forwarded as facts are obtained. Anyone interested in attending the Planning Seminar/Focus Group on Tuesday, April 23, 2019 may call the market survey company ProMatura at 800-201-1483.
  10. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Lennar-s-apartment-division-buys-Galleria-area-13841951.php Conflicting account of where exactly the site is located: The Gables project is SOUTH of the parcel that's on the corner of Westcreek/San Felipe and across from Arabella. Based on HCAD it appears that the lot is in fact on the corner of Westcreek/San Felipe. See Parcel A (BELOW)
  11. Did the Westcreek color-coded parcel master plan include these apartments for redevelopment? The apartments are located at 2350 Westcreek Lane. Looks like a fairly new complex. Built in the 1990's? Maybe in 20 years they will be replaced with a high-rise? https://theparkatwestcreek.net/
  12. This is the proposed office tower that was recently mentioned in the HBJ article on developments for Westreeck. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5512/12237199715_10755dbbfe_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7336/12237208295_24e5c754bc_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5530/12237791306_f04e3097af_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3827/12237393323_540998e4ae_b.jpg Developer: Moody Rambin and Peloton Commercial Real Estate Architect: BOKA Powell 14 office floors on top of 7 parking levels, 368,000 square feet Third Quarter 2015 Completion http://www.moodyrambin.com/listings/westcreek-centre/
  13. The McDonalds is officially closed. If you need a burger in the north Post Oak area... God help you. You will have to schlep down to the Jack in the Box on San Felipe. Wah waaaah. Post Oak Park: Retail Center At 4520 San Felipe St.
  14. I am trying to find out who the original architects of the Park Towers office buildings were. They are located at 1233 and 1333 West Loop South. Orignially they were a brick type facade with arched windows but some time ago the buildings were gutted and totally remodeled into the glass towers you see today. I would like to find the original architect's identity as I have heard stories it was designed by a friend's father who passed away just as the buildings were being completed and so far I have reached a dead end on the research. Inquiries I made to Kirksey Co. who did the remodel went unanswered. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
  15. Recently found out a few floors are becoming apartments! The apartments are called Sonders Apartments and will occupy levels 3 and 4. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2020012359
  16. 15-Story Tower on Bancroft Lane and Bettis Drive. https://highland-tower.com/index.html Just drove by the property for the first time in a month or two and I noticed that there were "dirty barriers" up and seems like quite a bit of it was dug up. No other evidence of construction, though.
  17. Anyone know if something is going up on this site? I drove by it tonight and it's cleared with fence surrounding the property.
  18. From the Houston Today book, comes another architectural masterpiece that is sadly last to time, as it no longer seems to exist. Anyone have more information on this? It certainly looks pretty cool...
  19. http://newregionalplanning.com/upload/property4/610_flyer_email.pdf It's two blocks west of river oaks district and a few north of Westheimer
  20. Great shot. Looks like another crane base on site. BTW, that La Quinta is very out of place there. Hope they eventually tear it down and re-develop that parcel.
  21. I finally stopped by this Class-B hotel off the West Loop. Photos I took today:
  22. Driving along 610 North this morning, I noticed that the Drury Inn along the feeder road looked different. In fact, it looked noticeably better. It appears that they made some quiet renovations over the past few months: new exterior design that, while nothing amazing, is a welcome change from the previous, dated look, new signage near the road, and new exterior lighting. Not a huge story, but it's an indicator that businesses in the area are taking steps to update as Uptown grows.
  23. Forgot to post this skyline view of the Westin Galleria Hotel located at 5060 West Alabama Street. Actually called The Westin Oaks. Photo I took the other day:
