  1. I saw a sign that they were moving out. Does anyone know what's coming into the building?
  2. 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
  3. Williams Tower - formerly known as Transco Tower Height: 901 feet 64 stories Circa: 1983 Architects: Johnson Burgee and Morris Aubry Facts - Then Transco Tower became Williams Tower when Transco Energy was bought out by Williams Energy Corp. in 1999 - Tallest building outside of any CBD - Rotating beacon at night on roof every 15 seconds - Williams Tower functions as two 32-floor towers stacked on top of each other, complete with separate lobbies, elevators, and garages. - South of the building is a 3-acre park with a large fountain called the "Waterwall" (aka Transco Fountain), designed by the building's architects with Richard Fitzgerald & Partners. The fountain is a stunning work of hydraulic engineering. - The top of the building features a beacon that sweeps the night sky over the Galleria area. - Construction took only 16 months, a remarkably short time for a tower of such height. 2 Pics by Patrick Benders Next four Pics by Mancuso Former
  4. The readers at HAIF seem to be some of the most informed Houstonians I come across...so I am reaching beyond the regular dialogs of downtown, midtown, development and real estate...and asking you where you have had the best Thai food in Houston? I've come to appreciate the various aspects of commentary that I value on this board...thanks!!

  6. Per the linked document below, something is happening to the Holiday Inn on the east side of 610 west, just north of Richmond. Post Properties and Bury+Partners are listed as the involved parties. Are they going to demolish and build residential or convert it? From Post's website, it looks like they only have residential buildings. ftp://edrc.houstontx.gov/2013/Applications//2013-1289/SubdivisionPlatPDF_POST%20GALLERIA_PLAT_PDF.pdf HFF's website says it is still on the market. I guess they need to update it? http://www.hfflp.com/GetDocument.aspx?ID=35251&FN=%C2%B13.9+Acres+Flyer-7.31.11.pdf&DT=1
  7. A Class-B hotel in Uptown is listed for sale. It's not very tall so I wouldn't think this would be a hotel to multifamily conversion. Most likely just a rebranding. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/6221-Richmond-Ave-Houston-TX/30028758/
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. Another hotel proposal for this area. Anyone have more on this one? Here's whats on the site as of now. SubdivisionPlatPDF_VHA15031_PLAT-.pdf
  12. Last week I took a few photos of the Hyatt House Houston/Galleria At 3440 Sage Road. Here are the two pictures I took:
  13. This week I learned that Kelsey Seybold had a satellite clinic in one of the three-building Galleria Office Towers. The office complex was originally developed by Hines and is now managed by Colvill Office Properties. Galleria Tower I is at 2700 Post Oak Boulevard. Galleria Tower II is at 5051 Westheimer Road. Galleria Financial Center is at 5065 and 5075 Westheimer Road.
  14. Will this replace the apartments at the NW corner of Post Oak & Uptown Park Blvd? http://powersbrown.com/urban-design-mixed-use/mixed-use/rd-uptown/#/ http://powersbrown.com/wp-content/gallery-bank/gallery-uploads/o_18prd5h5f132i7012k11idffktc.jpg http://powersbrown.com/wp-content/gallery-bank/gallery-uploads/o_18prd5h5fv5o18kd74j3b71b7ud.jpg http://powersbrown.com/wp-content/gallery-bank/gallery-uploads/o_18prd5h5fiare5nkmb1etq5fge.jpg
  15. Barry's Pizza closes after nearly 40 years https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2020/05/27/barrys-pizza-restaurant-closes.html Barry’s Pizza has closed. The 37-year-old Italian restaurant at 6003 Richmond Ave. announced the closure on its Facebook page May 26. The restaurant directly cited the coronavirus pandemic as the reason for the closure. The restaurant closed March 28, with a sign saying “Hibernating,” and never reopened. Barry’s William P. Hobby Airport location is listed as temporarily closed on the airport’s website.
  16. I've driven past the Univision 45 Houston Broadcasting Station located at 5100 Southwest Freeway a thousand times. Never thought about stopping by and taking some pictures of the satellites. Photos from today.
  17. Saw this in the Houston business journal today. Mentions a 20 story tower by the Novati Group (same company that bought the BofA tower downtown). http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto.../25/story1.html
  18. I walked by and saw these were being demolished today. Has this site been sold? I know Swamplot mentioned it was being put on the market last September. http://swamplot.com/has-everyone-cleared-out-of-the-winhall-condos-too/2014-09-10/
  19. From the today's edition of the Houston Business Journal (Jan. 27th) http://assets.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/Astoria-Exterior.jpg I wrote a story in the Jan. 27 edition of the Houston Business Journal that details plans by Randall Davis and Roberto Contreras to build a new condominium tower in the Galleria area using $40 million from foreign investors through a federal immigration program. We ran a rendering of the 23-story Astoria, which is designed to have 55 condos, but did not have room to show other projects developed by Davis. The owner of Houston-based Randall Davis Co. has developed and redeveloped numerous residential buildings over the last two decades in the Houston area. Click on the slideshow to the right to see some of his other projects.

  20. I just heard the latest demo rumors. Apparently the Roll-N Saloon At 4200 San Felipe Street, Houston, TX (or rather the little strip center it's in) is slated for demo and to be replaced by an 'upscale retail center.' Could this be part of another project? I have zero confirmation, but my buddy at work just read it on his Houston Aggie alum forum. Too bad. That's the sort of neighborhood bar I wish we had more of.

  21. Ernest Bel Fay lived next to his brother Ernest Fay. In the 1920s/1930s they both an 18-acre plot in the Uptown/Memorial area located at 105 North Post Oak Road. Decades later, his house now serves as one of the buildings on The Fay School campus. The "star architect" John F. Staub designed the home. https://www.thefayschool.org/ Here's a photo of the old house back in the 1930s.
  22. I was doing some research today and came across this quote in a New York Times article from the 80's: I think a lot of people in Houston don't realize the significance of these buildings.
  23. From the Houston Chronicle, 28 Dec. '08: When finished, the .09-acre patch of land near the Galleria will be the city's smallest park. Too small even for a basketball court, Post Oak Lane Park might be big enough for a game of horseshoes, a few benches and greenery. Using its power of eminent domain, the city of Houston seized the land for the park from brothers James and Jock Collins last year. Officials claimed there was a "public necessity" for the park in the Uptown area, despite the fact that a much larger one

  25. I can't find any pictures, or maps, about the old Gerald Hines and R.E. Smith development a long the West Loop South. The building(s) could have been a long San Felipe Street? Perhaps the old business park was the first go-around at The Galleria? I know someone on HAIF has to know more information. Do any of the buildings still exist?
