ricco67 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It should be interesting on how they plan on working around the rail lines, esp considering some of the equipment is taller than the overhead wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
por favor gracias Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I agree it looks a lot better than the older renderings...but still like International Tower much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 simply gorgeous! but is it just a coincidence, that it is resembling "bg group place"? i find this a bit intriguing. monarch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The massing of the top floors seems off, like the garden recess should have been a couple of floors lower in relation to the rest of the building (BG Group Place did this better). I'm guessing they don't plan on putting any office space above the recessed area, and that is why they couldn't make the top thicker, but it seems flimsy. Also don't like how the "tongue" projects out of the facade, although maybe it will have a transparent floor there like the Sears Tower and people can walk out and get goosebumps over the thirty floor drop. It's still a pleasant building overall, but it would really be a shame if it diminishes the chances of any of the others being built. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Stonian Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That side rendering looks an awful lot like the Anadarko II tower out in the Woodlands as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Emporis says it will rise up to 405' ft. Is this correct? http://www.emporis.com/building/6houstoncenter-houston-tx-usa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard floor-to-floor for office construction is 13'-6". If you multiply that times 30 floors you get 405'. So it will pretty close to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? http://www.emporis.com/building/6houstoncenter-houston-tx-usaIt's an estimate based on the relevant data. Once enough data fields are filled out, the number is generated.Not sure of what the actual figure is, but I don't think it's too far off.

Avossos Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 So I saw a tweet from 'going up city' asking a cre person if this was a race to go up against Hines tower... Does anyone think it's one or the other, not both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
democide Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Both are going up for sure. 6 Houston Center is a Class-AA tower, I assume 609 Main is as well, as is Capitol Tower. Class-AA space is nonexistent in downtown, so these are badly needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDierker Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I believe the # is around $250mm So, if i win one of those big powerballs, i could build something like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone think it's one or the other, not both? If that is true, then we should all do a sit-in to delay 6HC until Hines can get started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBJ reported a 12% increase in vacancy rates in Houston. Is there any doubt for HC6 going up or can anyone confirm the full intention here? The way this was reported, it sounded like a sure thing to happen this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) just trying to bump this... HBJ reported a 12% increase in vacancy rates in Houston. Is there any doubt for HC6 going up or can anyone confirm the full intention here? The way this was reported, it sounded like a sure thing to happen this summer. There is plenty of reason to question the reality of 6HC starting construction this summer (see, for example, the "ground-breaking" for the previous version of 6HC some years ago). BUT, I don't think the HBJ reported a 12% increase in vacancy rates in Houston. If they did, they got it wrong. Given the state of Houston reporting, it wouldn't be all that shocking of a local paper got something that wrongm but here is what I find reported in the HBH: According to CBRE, as reported in the HBJ, the overall market vacancy rate indeed increased very slightly, from 11.8% at the end of 2013 to 11.9% at the end of the 1st quarter 2014. (That is roughly an 8/10ths of one percent increase in the vacancy rate.) Edited March 31, 2014 by Houston19514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Office vacancy rates increased by .1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 at 11.8 percent to the first quarter of 2014, which was at 11.9 percent, according to a national report released March 27 by Los Angeles-based CBRE Group Inc. (NYSE: CBG). However, demand for key submarkets and trophy assets is still hot. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2014/03/rent-vacancy-up-for-houston-s-offices.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
