Triton Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 But as for Titan, the website is still there so perhaps Titan is still a project that will come later? Not sure Anyway, I wonder who the anonymous buyer is. That makes it all too interesting... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Nifty. Hopefully we hear an announcement for development soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJxvi Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Seems like a West Ave style mixed use apt complex would do well in this area on a parcel of this size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I would not be surprised if Hines bought this peice of land. They once owned it, as well as other lands around Williams, which they have re-purchased over the past few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The searchable online real property records have only been updated through June 20. Additionally, I have always been puzzled by the use of "sale" in press announcements. Generally, I understand a "sale" to occur when the sales contract is signed, even though the property will not actually be transferred until closing some period later (for residential homes, usually after an option period and a period to obtain financing for the buyer/borrower). I suspect these "sales" are actually closings where the property is transferred, and the signing of the sales contract would be kept quiet in the event the buyer exercises an option, assuming one exists, to terminate the contract. I'd be curious if anyone had insight into the general practice for large commercial transactions. Is the "sale" announced at the execution of the contract or is it announced at closing when the warranty deed transferring the property is signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) According to the Harris County Real Property Records, this property was conveyed from Deyaar to a "Palmetto RPO, LP" by Warranty Deed filed for record on June 11, 2014. It appears that Palmetto RPO,LP lists a "Palmetto RPO GP, LLC" as the general partner and gives the address of this general partner as being 109 N. Post Oak Ln, Suite 600, Houston, TX 77024--the same address as the McNair Foundation. Good call on Bob McNair, H-Town Man. Now, if we can just figure out what they might want the land for.

Montrose1100 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If this is the huge parcel that stretches from Sage to Post Oak (north of Richmond), I assume that's the Mark we're looking at in the very right of the rendering? Looks more like the Dominion, but either way, cool looking project. And ANYTHING to cover up the Mercer is a total win in my books. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I guess since it is posted on this thread that you are suggesting that this is a proposal for this site? It's quite nice and a smart location 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Urby, how did we conclude this is Mcnair, because of NRG on the big screen? I quickly browsed through the entire thread and didn't see any mention. I wouldn't be surprised. He had cancer a few years ago. With this and his TMC endeavors, he may be trying to leave his mark on the city. And for the record everyone, this site originally was planned to have an 80+ tower. Go reread the first few pages of this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An article from 7/2014 mentions McNair as the buyer of the site. UPDATE:An entity affiliated with Houston Texans owner Bob McNair is the buyer. Property records show the new owner as Palmetto RPO LP, which is located at the same address as the Robert and Janice McNair Foundation. In addition to the Texans, Bob McNair is the owner of Palmetto Parnters Ltd., a private investment company that manages the family’s public and private equity investments. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2014/06/galleria-area-development-site-trades-hand/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: What do y'all think about McCue road that splits this property. Does it look like this entire thing could fit on the eastern half? It certainly doesn't look like it would take up both sides.

Houston? Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Is this seriously going to get built? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Man, this one looks great! I'm looking at mainly office, correct? That being said, I don't see this one getting built anytime soon especially after I read the internal CBRE report yesterday on Houston. Although Houston is still doing good in other parts of the market (we see apartment fundamentals beginning to soften), office is doing incredibly bad right now. Sublease space spiked to 7.1 million sq. ft, a year over year increase of a mind-blowing 95%!! We are seeing a 20-year high in oil/gas mergers and acquisition activity, a sign of a distressed market. As we see with the tenant announcement of 609 Main yesterday, it will most likely have to be companies that are not oil related to lease these towers. Houston's best bets right now are condo, hotel, multi-family and retail.... definitely not office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Agreed. Houston is now about caught up to where it should be with office. However, with Houston's heavy international traffic and transformation of its convention district/business, condo, hotel, multi-family and retail will continue to be winners...especially luxury retail, which is off the charts. And we're all awaiting the drum roll announcement of several luxury hotels in the works. Not all that we wanted, but not bad progress at all, especially during a slowdown. Let me just clarify my point though. Those are indeed Houston's best bets but I am not saying Houston is doing great at all. The area that is more interesting is downstream in the oil market... there is $50 billion in capital improvements planned or underway. ....We're talking about projects that an architecture forum won't be talking much about.
