thelimbicsystem Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I believe the entire development is now called Park Place | River Oaks and The James (Phase I) and The Ivy (Phase II) are part of the overall project. It's the same developer/investor - Stonelake Capital Partners. Phase III is the 210,000-sf retail/office project fronting Westheimer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter1 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Has anybody else seen the lighted trees across from The James? The trees could be on the property. Saw it as I was driving down Westheimer. They did a great job! So nice.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC2HTX Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Small incremental changes have happened on the park place lot. There was previously a leasing sign posted on the corner of mid lane. That has been taken down and now there is a nicer park place sign on westheimer and another sign on the north west corner, on mid lane. They also repaired the back alley driveway near the rail road tracks. I bet they start construction soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, where the RR tracks are now was pasture at one time. Needs change and the tracks need to be addressed. Lowering them would be best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Changing the grade of existing railroad tracks is an extensive project; the approaches would be much longer, and they would build it to one side to keep the existing line active during construction, all to produce an elevated track at that spot. Burying the tracks probably won't happen, as it is right next to a drainage ditch. A similar problem was going to happen with the original University line that went to the galleria down Richmond - how do you do grade separation? My feeling is that that crossing will stay for a while, and will eventually prompt an overpass with the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC2HTX Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 In the past week or so, Stonelake has put up a sign advertising ground lease and built to suit for the remaining development... not sure if this is any indication of their current plans not going well or if that advertisement isn’t mutually exclusive.

J Money Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I much preferred the old proposal over this I10 feeder-road lookin building. This thing is so bleh. The old proposal would’ve brought excitement and a sense of cohesiveness to that stretch of Westheimer from 610 to the other end of highland village.

LBC2HTX Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Avossos said: AGREED! Couldn’t disagree more 1) there isn’t THAT much cohesiveness from 610 to the train tracks, or beyond HV for that matter. The only thing cohesive about is all is that there’s dining/shopping along the north side of westheimer. 2) there’s still going to be ground floor retail 3) this board always complains about underutilized plots and not building tall enough, this does both 4) ROD, HV and even uptown park are struggling to bring in tenants, which is probably why the previous proposal got axed. Plus they still have the east green space for future development. 5) this will look less out of place with Equinox Hotel, ROD phase 2 and further development along west creek.

Its easier to say what its not- River Oaks, Afton Oaks, Royden Oaks, Oak Estates, or Lynn Park. Some in real estate refer to it as "Briar Hollow" or Highland Village. Most people will refer to it as River Oaks or Uptown. Despite all of the River Oaks branding, as a resident I prefer to refer to it as Uptown.

I think it's not totally out of line to describe this as River Oaks. RO extends as far as the RR tracks at its westernmost extension. But architecturally, this strikes me as more an eastward extension of Uptown than a westward extension of RO, especially if you consider the buildings on West Loop North to be part of Uptown.

Twinsanity02 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Uptown Houston as defined being west of 610 is approximately 26 million square feet. Adding all those buildings east of 610 would push it over 30 million I would guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
