j_cuevas713 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I guess it’s safe to assume they want to do things right with the amount of work they’re putting in their leasing office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMU1213 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Sorry guys. Meant to post that in the Regent Square page. No new news on The Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike her, I can afford to live anywhere I want and I think Houston is fabulous and getting more fabulous by the day. But I guess I'm probably being too insensitive. Really, I have nothing but pity for those poor pathetic losers who are handcuffed to places they would rather not be and aren't smart enough to be able to figure out how to do anything about it except whine about it on the internet and then proceed to blame our great city for their own personal issues and shortcomings. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 For the record, there were a number of references to the small building as being a "leasing office." This is probably going to be a sales office for the condos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dbigtex56 Posted February 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Sorry, couldn't help but point this out. From the Biznow article: "a Chinese-American woman named Zoe Ma, engaged in "wonton [sic] fraudulent behavior," Not clear on how much she made; it was a dim sum.

Urbannizer Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Free event being held Thursday March 21st for a “first look” at The Allen. The new design will likely be shown here. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-residences-at-the-allen-friends-family-event-tickets-57735629823?aff=ebdssbdestsearch 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Say what you will about RD... But he is a bit of a pioneer. He goes to the areas we all say "we need to have something here" and builds something. Other developers tend to follow along. I am hopeful the new design is still striking. I would love for the buildings around Buffalo Bayou to have significant architectural integrity, as they will be in plain sight for the foreseeable future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREguy13 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I hate to sound like a downer, but I am not looking forward to the new design... I imagine it will be seriously value-engineered, similar to the way they reduced the glass exterior at Arabella. Especially with all the recent bad news surrounding the EB-5 program, which is how DC finances its projects. I hope I'm wrong, but I really have a hard time thinking this design will be equal to or better than the original. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shall prevent me from starting a GoFundMe campaign in the Fourth Ward for the $40 million required to make it super sexy. I’d already got commitments for $83. Ah well, that’s Houston. But that’s why I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 But unfortunately there is no place to hide a hideous disaster on the Bayou if it is value engineered. These are special tracts that will affect the overall image of downtown. Plus they'll block out downtown from the west. And if Randall Davis is involved that means we will have something proposed in renderings, and then the real deal which will look nothing like the renderings. I know they are building a very detailed leasing office but that doesn't mean anything. If you go down to the area around the old Rainbow Lodge site, you will find a very well constructed leasing office for a now defunct project called the Orion. The developer now lives in this leasing office. I went to his birthday party there and it wasn't a cheap building. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
