ChannelTwoNews Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 It was announced a year or two back, and has yet to break ground. They seemed a bit more interested in promoting their project in Shenandoah, as both were introduced at around the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Is this the 10-story that was to be built in Vision Park between The Woodlands Parkway and 242? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Is this the 10-story that was to be built in Vision Park between The Woodlands Parkway and 242?No, the tower for Vision Park is still in the works, but has been scaled back to 8-floorshttp://www.graniteprop.com/Home/Properties...98/Default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Granite Properties is marketing a fourteen-story, 300,000 square foot building called Briarpark Green at 3141 Briarpark. They will start construction once a lead tenant is secured.http://www.bayareahouston.org/DATA/Home/Re...am%20Realty.PDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantis Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 http://www.bayareahouston.org/DATA/Home/Re...am%20Realty.PDF I was doing a web search to find out more on the building when I ran across your post, so I figured I'd chime in. I've been watching them put up the building for over a year now, and I think they have finally completed construction (my office window faces the construction site). The building is definitely not 14 stories, but more like 3. Hold on and I'll take a cell phone pic. Here you go (yes, I know my phone's camera is horrible).

Pleak Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Not sure if this is the right place to put this...Granite Properties will break ground within the next 60 days on a speculative office building in Houston's Westchase submarket, the commercial real estate investment and management company said Monday.Granite Briarpark Green, a 300,000-square-foot, 12-story, Class A office building, will be located at 3141 Briarpark Drive. Situated on a 4-acre site, the building will be adjacent to the existing Briarpark Green building owned by PGAL Architects.http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2012/03/19/granite-to-build-new-development-in.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks for letting us know, Pleak. This is an OK section to post it in, but it also works in Going Up, so I'm going to move it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontx Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It's true, though I am not sure about the schedule. HOAR Construction is handling it. The project consist of a 316,300 GSF, twelve story core and shell office building and a 361,110 GSF, 6 level parking garage.Granite Briarpark Green3151 Briarpark DriveHouston, TX 77042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Happened to see a new crane up in Westchase. It's inside the Beltway, and looked to be just north of Richmond on Briarpark. I know there are a number of developments seeking interest... does anyone happen to know which one this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august948 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I drive by this building each week and it tickles me that the there's a sign in front designating HOAR as the general contractor. Makes me wonder if a bordello is part of the "amenities". Seriously, though, does anyone know how the folks at "HOAR" actually pronouce the name? I can't imagine that they use the phonetic pronouciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Stonian Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Latest Update - http://www.granitebriarparkgreen.com/#gallery I really like the style of this building! Surprised it hasn't received more attention from forumers. Hoping more of these buildings with some architectural detail get built in Houston during the next few "boomtown" years vs the standard (boring) striped beige precast stone/blue-ish gray glass office buildings proliferating H-town today.

livincinco Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I really like the style of this building!

'Stonian Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 It's no farther out that City Center which gets plenty mentions, but I do realize City Center is an entire new urbanist district and Briarpark Green is a single 12 story office building. Actually I just think many are unaware of this building because it doesn't sit right on the freeway, so it's kinda hidden. I like it also because it will have a 7 story night-time lighting feature. http://www.granitebriarparkgreen.com/#home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point, but I don't think that there's a lot of doubt that most discussion in this forum revolves around buildings inside the loop.

LarryDierker Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I don't consider these buildings unworthy of notice, just more difficult to notice. But when i'm out west eating asian food, drinking boba, or shopping for JackFruit I swing through the mean streets of Westchase to check out the buildings. And that 12 story building next door to squatty has another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yeah, I agree that it would probably received more attention if it was visible from the freeway, especially I-10. It's a nice building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Stonian Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 And that 12 story building next door to squatty has another thread. Well this IS the "BriarPark Green" thread - the other one is a more general "Westchase Development" thread. Maybe the moderator can combine the threads? Funny - I had considered the 3-story "squatty" as no more than a demonstration project for the 12-story building. In fact the first 3 floors of both will pretty much be identical..., still I've always like the style of the 3-story building because its different than many other cheapish modern office buildings going up in Houston right now - it just looks like no expense was spared.
