UrbaNerd Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Well..I was checking out Emporis..and they seem to have a new proposed tower...http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=160098No pics, or info, yet..except for the architects. They designed 3333 Allen Pkwy/The Royalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 There has been a rendering of this floating around for a few years now. I don't think it's really a serious proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaIce Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Didn't emporis used to have it under "On Hold".Edit: Didn't it used to say we have 4 on hold buildings, because now the AIM headquarters and ballpark place is now approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually wrong anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston-development Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 i could be mistaken but i believe that's where the 4 or 6 story red brick building is currently located. its a block or two "north" of MMP and had like a metal structure adjacent to it. if its the same spot, the previous owner was going to demolish it and put up a high-rise. after 9/11 and enron, he then decided to gut it and convert into condos. he then got over his head and stopped like 1/2 way through and put it on the market. after a couple of months, there were no takers and they reduced the price to something like +/- $3 or $4M. i think it finally sold six or seven months ago...but again, it may not even be the same site.

Sooner&RiceGrad Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 New 350 foot tower in Downtown should be good for the city. We're falling behind the Orient lately, and it's these 35o feet towers that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Who do you plan to occupy these new towers. The reason the orient if building so many of them is because of demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Emporis is clearly to big for there own good, I used to enjoy browsing through their database and looking at construction photos and what not of various cities, though now you have to join, and if Im not mistaken its fairly expensive?

It's a shame, too, considering most of the information on that site comes from a legion of unpaid volunteers. I'm considering doing some advertising on their site. The rate they quoted me was over $21,000. Yeah, right. For that price I can advertise on television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
