Nate99 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 They re-paved and re-striped the parking lot that was under the MM's construction office trailers. I'd guess that nothing is imminent, but that repair may have been a condition of them setting up shop on the lot in the first place. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Pedestrians will get to behold the beauty of the tower's parking garage, or more likely half-vomit their schwarma from Phoenicia's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 If this place gets built two things will be true: 1) the east facing units will have an amazing view of the Texas pool across the street and 2) the incredible skyline view from the Texas pool will be significantly cut off. i remain hopeful that this tower gets built! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be doing better than the folks that walk off of the skybridge to nowhere. Seriously though, it would be interesting to see if they would join up the Marriott to the Hess garage and then on through to Houston Center to the tunnel system. I bet the Marriott would love that. This would somewhat "wall off" the view from DG and obscure the Hampton/Homewood a bit more. I like the canyon feel of DG, and everyone hates looking at the Hampton Inn. The Camden Tower might help a bit too, but they really need something big on the block across Dallas (?) from One Park Place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I hope it comes true this time. The groundbreaking dates for this building have been so numerous they are beginning to resemble the cyclic end of the world pronoucements. If it is built it will be a skyline enhancer. With this and the Camden there will be only two more residentials left to build: the other camden and a residential tower on around the 1800 block of Main. What a tremendous change in downtown residential! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a tremendous change in downtown residential! don't forget the one North of Minute Maid... that one on half the block. I believe same developer as Catalyst... Anyway, I agree - If we get this and Camden (always considered the two towers will come in phases), then there is really just a few projects we don't see movement on. I always hoped the activity was a kick start to constant residential development downtown. If downtown starts to fill up with people... imagine what kind of height we can see... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunstar Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I guess the downtown living initiative is still in effect. I would have thought they reached the 5000 unit target by now. Has it been extended? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 In the Chron article it says that they were given an extension on the DLI, and must have a temporary certificate of residency by May2020 to receive the funds. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 By my calculations approximately 3678 residential units are UC or have been finished in the last four years. With Block 98 and the Camden another 589 units will be built. This will leave approximately 865 units from the Fairfield, the Marquette ( north of MMP) and the other Camden. This comes to a grand total of 5132. This includes both DLI and non-DLI influenced construction. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasta Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The brick rendering doesn't shows the Marriott Marquis as a parking lot so I'm going to say that is the older rendering. I like the brick facade better than the stucco or whatever panel system that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not sure what is the current, operative rendering, but FWIW, the first rendering posted here at HAIF, back in late 2013, appeared to be non-brick. Then in early 2014, a new, brick, design was posted. In March 2015 a new Ziegler Cooper glass aluminum and stone design was posted. Then in July 2017, the brick rendering is posted again, but it was just from an updated Downtown Development Map listing. Those Downtown Development Maps have not been particularly reliable as to renderings. So, following the chronology of renderings posted here at HAIF, the best guess seems to be that the glass aluminum and stone design is the extant design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
