ANTHONYHTOWN Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Don't they still have some trailers on this location since the last time when construction was just about to begin for the hotel? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think that this project will wait for the next cycle...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 i wonder what the situation is with the contractors of Marriott Marquis using this site as an office area. i assume there would be some contractual agreement to allow them to use that property, and it must be for a certain amount of time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 i wonder what the situation is with the contractors of Marriott Marquis using this site as an office area. i assume there would be some contractual agreement to allow them to use that property, and it must be for a certain amount of time?I assume so, especially when one considers that one of the designs had this tower and the hotel linked by sky bridge. In that fashion, hotel guests would have access to the tunnels via the Hess resi tower, hess garage, hess building, another set of sky bridges and into the parkshops then into the tunnels.I am sure that the plan was to coordinate construction with the hotel. However, with oil's uncertainty, I am betting that this resi tower will wait..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Let us hope not. With the proper financial engineering, anything is possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm pretty sure that building a skybridge later after the hotel is finished is not at all any kind of issue. The resi tower can definitely add that later if and when it gets built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Huge Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 39-floors. 314 units. Still my most anticipated groundbreaking of all downtown projects.Can one of you "industry" guys call up Jim Casey and pry out of him the status of this project?

talltexan83 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Would it be possible to ever retrofit the top of the Hess parking garage into additional amenity space for this tower? Or does that run into a lot of engineering limitations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Would it be possible to ever retrofit the top of the Hess parking garage into additional amenity space for this tower? Or does that run into a lot of engineering limitations? If they weren't able to share their residential parking with Hess for this tower then I don't think adding anything onto Hess would be a go at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Would it be possible to ever retrofit the top of the Hess parking garage into additional amenity space for this tower? Or does that run into a lot of engineering limitations?I always assumed that they would use the ramps in the existing garage and tie each floor in. Likely have a "residents" gate on each floor. But, given the comment directly above, I am not sure I am correct. If they are unable to use the existing garage ramps, that property is so narrow, would be amazed if they could build a garage! Anyone know how it could be done? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Now 2Q 2015 https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ob5t192cdu08gp/150225_Development_Map__Renders_11X17.pdf?dl=0 Can't wait. Guess our best indication will be once the trailers start moving off-site. Guess they will setup shop inside the hotel itself?

Popular Post Urbannizer Posted March 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2015 http://zieglercooper.com/confidential-urban-residential-development/ Located on a .46-acre site in the heart of a mixed-use district, this 34-story luxury residential tower offers 264 units and an urban lifestyle with dramatic city views of the CBD and provides the convenience and amenities of a five star resort hotel. Residents of the tower will have a short five-minute walk to restaurants, parks, commercial office space, hotels, retail and entertainment venues.The tower sits atop an 11-story garage. The 361,664-s.f. development focuses on young professionals and empty nesters seeking an urban lifestyle. Clad in a crisp combination of glass, aluminum and stone, the slender tower offers an elegant and contemporary architectural expression in the CBD skyline. The tower is crowned with asky club on the top floor and an amenity floor consisting of club facilities, gourmet kitchen, Wi-Fi lounge, fitness center, and aqua lounge with pool and terrace. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Well, if a 6 floor height reduction is the difference between this getting built and not getting built I guess I'll take it. Heh.Edit. I just realized the block east of Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites could have views of discovery green over the podium of the Marquis.

fkp5 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I really like this building. This side of Discovery Green is starting to fill up nicely. Hopefully we can also get more on the other side, especially Block 251. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Huge Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Guys, I could be wrong, but a quick count gave me ~ 40+ floors, could this be 34 story tower PLUS 11 floors of parking??!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Guys, I could be wrong, but a quick count gave me ~ 40+ floors, could this be 34 story tower PLUS 11 floors of parking??!!i just counted 29 floors above the garage.. which would still be 40 stories...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
democide Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Right, I came up with the same count (40 when looking at the new renderings), but if you count the rendering below, the count is 34. You'll notice it's shorter than the Hess Tower, whereas in the other renderings, they look to be around the same height. I guess these new renderings were held back from us when it was 40 stories. Looks better at 40 if you ask me. Anyways, we'll soon find out in the next quarter, I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 its clearly not 34 stories.. and this appears to be the newest renderings of the project, given they were updated on/added to ZCs website. so what are we missing? is the 34 stories a typo from old info? surely they didnt spend the money to render buildings with the wrong floor counts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It is interesting to me that the new renderings have removed the sky bridge. Why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
