The Sheraton at 2400 West Loop South will be rebranded as The Chifley, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. It will host a new restaurant/ bar called "Rouse" that serves a fusion of barbecue, Mexican, and asian cuisine. New hotel website: https://thechifleyhouston.com https://houston.culturemap.com/news/city-life/07-25-22-the-chifley-houston-hotel-uptown-rouse-restaurant-bar-rooms-tapestry-collection-by-hilton/#slide=0 Set to open November, 2022. seems like most of the renovations are interior. Some before pictures 😅 I always thought Sheraton was considered semi luxurious, these pics kind of hurts hurts my eyes

Seems we missed this renovation. Per this report by BISNOW extensive renovations are set to finish end of summer. Looks like all these new urban core projects all of the city are setting off an arms race among the older crop of towers and office buildings. Its exciting to see because that kind of competition only means better things for us all. Its about time too because these buildings from the early to late 90's need to start updating and market pressures seeing to it that they do. Developer: Transwestern Architect: CDI Douglass Pye Inc Estimated Completion: End of Summer From BISNOW: (image of the existing building)

I have a family member visiting Houston next month. They will be staying near the Galleria. I am looking for hotel recommendations. Uptown has a bunch, and I mean alot of hotels. Which one to choose from? I was looking at the Houston Marriott West Loop By The Galleria At 1750 West Loop South. Would this be an okay choice? Thanks for the input! -
Be happy they have a website. The Manhatten and Empire Condos' didn't get a website until construction started and most of the units were alread sold. Randal Davis has been shown to be much more reliable than other developers. He would put that much work into a website unless he was commited to the project. This doesn't mean delays and other red tape issues won't slow it down also. The Pavilions was going to start construction this fall according to the developer, but right now they are just starting permitting and other procedures. Definite timelines are rare unless it is currently being constructed.

I recently noticed that a chain link fence has been erected around 1111 Post Oak Blvd. This is the very old and recently vacated apartment complex directly west of the McDonalds. Does anyone know what they are going to do with that land? -
It my research of hotels, I came across the Derek. I think it is near the Galleria. Is it similar to the Hyatt Regency, size, amenities, etc? I noticed on Hotel.Com that the rates are about the same. I meant to say "in" my research of hotels. Just a typo.

It is clear by now that many developers are focusing rennovating the strip of Post Oak from Westheimer to San Felipe. What about the areas between San Felipe and 610 (towards uptown Park?) The only building that fits the neighborhood is 1200 Post Oak Blvd. (apt. complex across from the McDonalds.) Everything else is old (i.e., Inverness and Winhall condos and dreadful 111 Post Oak Apts.). Those developments stick out like a sore thumb when looking at the beuaty and architecture of Uptown Park, Montebello, Villa D'este, and 1200 Post Oak, etc). Are there any plans to do massive reconstruction for those areas to better align with the rest of the proposed projects on Post Oak Blvd? Lastly, what is the "Great Room"? (the "tent" building by the Bently dealership)- 20 replies

Brookdale Galleria is undergoing a multimillion dollar remodel. Always wondered if they would use that money to power wash the building. It was so dirty! Power washing complete. Looks much better!

looks like this one flew under the radar: http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/12/office-building-to-replace-galleria-area-wedding-venue/?cmpid=hpts The 135,000-square-foot building will be developed at 1885 St. James Place, where the Courtyard on St. James Place now stands. The special events venue has for years hosted weddings, banquets and business functions. the new building is expected to open in early 2015. trying to hit the same niche market Hines' is having so much success with at their new San Felipe building across from River Oaks. i think it's a good call - simialr buildings in the area aimed at the ultra-high end clientele such as redstones Houstonian building and Park Laureate remain consistently well-leased with relatively high rates.- 55 replies

Junior League Of Houston At 1626 Post Oak Park Dr.
Highrise Tower posted a topic in Historic Houston
The Junior League of Houston built a new building after moving from downtown. They occupied the building from 1965-1986. The building has since been demolished and built over with luxury apartments. -
Does anyone know what's going up at this intersection? There's a new sign up that says "For Lease".
