Angostura Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Commercial MBS markets are completely frozen. Commercial leaseholders will struggle to make lease payments, which means property owners and developers will struggle to make loan payments, which impairs the associated commercial MBS assets. For the most part, banks and other holders have foregone margin calls, and Fed is backstopping, but don't hold your breath for new funding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather Google not set up an office here? An office is an office. And as they get their foot in the door, they’ll expand their presence even more over time. I expect an office in the Innovation District. Edited June 17, 2020 by j_cuevas713 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect 100 waugh is even further back on the back burner given the state of the office space sector. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it office oriented? Why delay an announcement - its a very long lead item. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why delay an announcement - its a very long lead item. From the Houston Business Journal: ". . . with the pandemic and the resulting economic impacts, we are taking a wait-and-see approach on next steps based on what market demands will look like as people resume their post-Covid lifestyles,” the company said. BKR Memorial said the next phase of the project will include additional residential units, as well as Class A offices, retail and restaurants, all centered around pedestrian walkways and a central green space. Other uses, including hospitality and entertainment, are being considered for future phases, the company said. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNathoo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 BKR is very much oil focused and is probably hurting in this environment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skooljunkie Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Unrelated but nearby...I spotted survey stakes around the nearly 1-acre property with the small office building at 300 Jackson Hill. If redeveloped, a tower here would be surrounded by parks and have incredible views of DT, UK, and Uptown...and also the AIG building heh. Maybe it's nothing though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR3985 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Has anyone else noticed that Cushman & Wakefield is actively trying to lease out Phase II?

This might make sense with the utility connections being installed along with the road work taking place I was wondering if anyone new anymore info about this project. I was thinking of moving from the 3rd floor courtyard view to the 4th floor downtown view in the Arlo apartments. I don't really wanna deal with construction noises though. Their website says 2025 as year built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR3985 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 They indeed moved in. There is a small sign on top of the building. I can snap a pick later and post it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
