  1. 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/
  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. What is going on with these 1960 townhomes directly on Post Oak Boulevard? I wonder if it's coveted land or something? Surely a wealthy individual could buy them out for $100 million? Perfect location for a new Uptown skyscraper that would continue the "donut curve" of Post Oak. Might as well develop Post Oak Corner too! A few photos I took last weekend.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!!
  9. 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

  11. 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?

  13. Does anyone know exactly how long the memorial park track is?
  14. New 240 unit mid-rise proposed as an addition to the Bristol Parc Condos in Uptown. https://tcw-group.com/projects/bristol-parc-high-rise/
  15. Finally found a good picture of the Albert Bel Fay house located at 99 North Post Oak Lane. The house was built alongside his brother's mansion, Ernest Bel Fay which is located at 105 North Post Oak Lane. In the 1930s, brothers A.B Fay acquired 8.29 acres while E.B. Fay's site was 7.26-ares. John F. Staub was the architect for both homes. Ernest Fay was a lumberman, while Albert was an oilman. Aerial photograph of both homes. Albert's home was situated on top.
  16. Houston-based AmReit has bought Uptown Park, a Galleria-area retail center developed by Giorgio Borlenghi's Interfin, for $68.8 million. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/3208551
  17. That’s for the interchange project right? However, just west of 610 and Westpark there’s a bent that’s been constructed perpendicular to the Westprk Tollway. I assume it’s for the BRT which I guess means it’s gonna have an elevated section that goes above 69? Must be why they cleared out the Chick-fil-A there on Post Oak/Richmond
  18. Somebody posted this on SkyscraperCity, and I thought it was a really neat picture. Did anybody here take it? If so, it's awesome!!
  19. San Felipe Plaza, Sunset, originally uploaded by zoomanderson1. San Felipe Plaza bids adieu to another day in Houston. The architect, Richard Keating, once told HAIF that it was one of his favorites. Shame about the location, though. It so often gets overlooked. A little closer to Uptown or downtown would have done wonders. Thanks to zoomanderson1 for the photo from the HAIF Flickr group.
  20. Noticed an outlined development on a property flyer. The old office building on Richmond was once a planned to be a robot brothel that fell through. https://www.loopnet.com/listing/5615-richmond-ave-houston-tx/14016727/ Highlighted in green on the left https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/5440-Richmond-Ave-Houston-TX/18710651/
  21. Project Name: Winrock North Apartments Location Address: 2030 Winrock Blvd. Start Date: 4/1/2023 Completion Date: 4/1/2025 Scope of Work: New construction of a 398 for-rent multifamily units, structured parking garage, and shared amenity areas. Square Footage: 9,800 ft 2 Design Firm Name: GFF
  22. Degeorge Real Estate leases the Woodway Square Retail Center located at 6401 Woodway Drive. Another address for the center is 6531-6543 Woodway Drive. Kelsey Seybold is preparing to open a new clinic here. Kelsey Seybold is expanding at a rapid rate! Seems like every 6 months there's a new clinic opening in the Houston area. https://rejournals.com/kelsey-seybold-clinic-leases-space-in-woodway-square-center-in-houston/
