Better Defensive Perimeters for the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.This is the only plausible explanation I can think of.But seriously guys, GP has a lot of potential and hopefully we'll see some stuff on the new college moving in.

toxtethogrady Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It won't be possible to tell without a close-up. Just the fact that the cranes are moving means something's going on.

Mab Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 San Jacinto College said Wednesday that it will build a new campus on 57 acres in Generation Park, the 4,000-acre planned development in the far northeast Houston area.The new campus will be located across Lockwood Road from the 173-acre FMC Technologies corporate headquarters currently under construction at Generation Park. The developer McCord Development donated 3.8 acres at the intersection of West Lake Houston Parkway and Lockwood Road to the college.“We couldn’t be more excited to be part of what’s going on at Generation Park, San Jacinto College and even more broadly, in northeast Houston,” said Brenda Hellyer, the college system’s chancellor.Ryan McCord, president of McCord Development, said San Jacinto College “recognized the value” of the location and “the benefits of being part of a truly master-planned enterprise park.”“We can offer them something nobody else can: direct relationships with world-leading companies who want to work together to developer Houston’s next generation high-tech workforce — particularly subsea and downstream energy,” McCord said.The northeast Houston area accounts for 42 percent of the U.S. base of petrochemical manufacturing, with 400-plus chemical plants employing 33,000 workers. Billions of dollars in projects are on the books.FMC Technologies, which makes subsea equipment for the oil and gas industry, broke ground last year on its project at Generation Park, which will consolidate 10 Houston locations to the new business park. The first employees are to move there in early 2016.Hellyer said San Jacinto College is in the planning stages of the campus.http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2015/05/generation-parks-newest-tenant-is-san-jacinto-college/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortune Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 "Lots of firsts for Generation Park: its first anchor tenant is also its first Fortune 500 corporate campus: FMC Technologies acquired 173 acres, which is nearly the same size as the new ExxonMobil campus. McCord Development’s John Flournoy (nice catch, John!) tells us that the subsea technology giant for the oil and gas industry will be consolidating all of its Houston-based operations at Generation Park, including its global HQ, and is nearing completion of its first phase on 70 acres. Early next year, approximately 2,000 FMC employees will be moving to Generation Park in over 1M SF of office and workshop space as part of the first phase. Also new is the S.PA, Generation Park’s first corporate lifestyle center. The 52 acres is scheduled to break ground later this year and will be home to corporate office users and a mix of amenities like restaurants, hotels, conference centers, healthcare centers and child development centers. Stolt-Nielson, a leading European logistics company, recently acquired acreage in the S.PA and by winter, two hotels will be under construction. Yet another first: a 57-acre San Jacinto College campus will focus on serving the community and partnering with companies located in Generation Park to help train their current and future workforce."Read more at: https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/commercial-real-estate/generation-park-hooks-big-fish-47939?utm_source=CopyShare&utm_medium=Browser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Houston developer is planning the first phase of Redemption Square, an urban mixed-use district within the 4,000-acre Generation Park, located off Beltway 8 in the West Lake Houston region. McCord Development is under contract for a Courtyard Marriott hotel with 147 rooms and an urban apartment project with 243 units, the developer of which is yet to be announced. In addition, the developer has begun preleasing for a five-story spec building with 85,000 square feet of Class A office space and 15,000 square feet of ground-level retail space. A 1,000-space parking garage is also planned. Eventually, Redemption Square — formerly called S.PA — will feature 1.5 million square feet of Class A office space, 800 residential units, 650 hotel rooms, 275,000 square feet of retail space and 21 acres of parks. Future phases of Redemption Square will also include an extended-stay hotel, fitness centers and a 4,000-seat auditorium. The 52-acre urban district will be located just west of Houston-based FMC Technologies’ new 173-acre corporate campus, where 2,000 new employees are expected to start relocating around March. San Jacinto College also is expected to open a new campus on 57 acres in Generation Park. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
