  1. Why do I feel like I've just been to a real estate seminar? The first time someone got a gun stuck in their ribs and told to "gimme all you're money" would likely signal the turn off point for most. Let me ask you a question. When was the last time you were in Greenspoint? Are you there every day? You mentioned a beautifully kept park earlier. The park's name is Wussow, btw. Would you like to know how many fights, robberies, drug deals, and gang gatherings have occurred there in just the past, say, 5 years? The area IS ugly. Just because City View remodeled a bunch of old apartment complexes, and the city laid some new concrete and planted some trees, does not make it "beautiful". The area has serious crime issues. Until that is addressed and minimized, they can slap all the lipstick they want on it. It'll still be "gunspoint". Might want to update your pictures, btw. Crowne Plaza is no longer in Greenspoint.
  2. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Coming-to-Greenspoint-A-77-million-325-unit-16314845.php The city on Wednesday approved a $15 million loan to help finance a 325-unit affordable housing complex near the Greenspoint Mall, by far the largest project in the city’s Harvey recovery program and one officials hope will help revitalize the area.
  3. Does anybody remember in Greenspoint Mall (I think) there was a waterfall that would play music. It had poles that would go up and down and when they came down it played different notes. Thats the best I can explain it.
  4. I was in Greenspoint over the weekend and thought a little about this forgotten area. Driving in I noticed how nice all the lawns were around the office buildings with trees lining the roadways. My wife commented, "Houston really does have nice trees." It occurred to me what a shame it was that all of this was going to waste. Office occupancy for that submarket is about 45%. A group of office buildings sold there a couple of years ago for around $30/SF - they would have been worth more in Amarillo. The whole area kind of said "80's" to me, and of course, the 80's is pretty down right now. But it won't be forever. In 10 or 15 years, people are going to say "Ahh! The 80's!" the same way that 15 or 20 years ago they started to say, "Ahh! Mid-century!" And then Greenspoint will be a really hot commodity, assuming it's still there and hasn't been totally disfigured by renovations. The place has a pretty decent skyline for a suburban office complex, taller than most suburban skylines, thanks to the money and power of oil. If Houston could just find some office user that would look on these buildings as the gems that they are.
  5. This recently popped up on Ziegler Cooper's website. A 500,000 class A office tower with 22 floors. Originally planned to be attached to the mall on the site of the old Montgomery Ward's but now with a stand alone address off of Greenspoint Rd. Anyone know anything more? http://www.zieglercooper.com/images/proj866.jpg http://www.zieglercooper.com/images/proj864.jpg http://www.zieglercooper.com/images/proj862.jpg http://www.zieglercooper.com/images/proj863.jpg
  6. Greenspoint Mall Owner Makes First Dent in Dark Block By K Pica Kahn Last updated: Monday, August 30, 2004 07:55pm HOUSTON-In an unusual play to fill an empty anchor spot, the Los Angeles owner of the 17-million-sf Greenspoint Mall has struck a 10-year deal with a health club operator. A $3-million finish-out is under way on 47,300 sf of a 116,695-sf hole that's been dark for several years. "I don't know if this is the only fitness center in a mall, but it is unusual," Linda Clayton, leasing director for owner Triyar Cannon Group of L.A., tells GlobeSt.com about the latest lease for the 12300 N. Freeway mall. "We hope this is a trend and they will want to move into more malls." Triyar owns four malls in the metro region. Clayton says the health club operator approached Triyar about the prospect of opening its first mall location. Scott Shillings, vice president for Dallas-based Staubach Co., represents New Fit Ltd., parent of Fitness Connection. The freshly inked lease includes two five-year options. General contractor Drymalla Construction Co. Inc. of Columbus, TX, will have the space ready to go in early 2005, with owner and tenant sharing in the cost, according to Clayton. In the interim, Fitness Connection is operating out of 7,000 sf of temporary space in the mall, complete with a mock-up of the new facility. The health club operator also has set up kiosks in Greenspoint and San Jacinto Mall to promote the upcoming opening. With the first tenant signed, Clayton says talks are well under way with a prospect for the 69,395-sf balance of the anchor spot, once held by Mervyn's. "We aren't ready to disclose the other tenant at this time," she says of a key catch for the 80%-leased mall.
