I am sure that they did their homework and made sure to tell each new tenant that views aren't guaranteed for the duration of the lease agreement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specwriter Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well, you see, Al Jaffee's original design called for a giant fly to be squashed onto the side of the building...  I wasn't an architect when I first saw that cartoon; I believe I was still in junior high. As a current architect though, with my fair share of experience in the field, it is one of the funniest cartoons I have ever seen. Sometimes the poor contractor builds exactly what the architect drew and then gets blamed for not knowing better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmREIT would retain ownership of the land, 1.58 acres at the northwest corner of San Felipe and Post Oak Boulevard now known as the Courtyard at Post Oak.

houstontexasjack Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It is a good to see they have a partner for this development. I suspect the "construction could begin" suggests this development will wait until some of the other highrises have been completed and at least somewhat leased out.  This will be a nice addition to the Uptown Skyline when developed--although that may be a few years out.

toxtethogrady Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Well, it's not in the "15 month" category, so that suggests it's higher up the priority list. That said, this town is spitting out 40-story proposals right and left. I'm waiting for the first one that goes 60 stories. Edited November 4, 2014 by toxtethogrady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Well, I'll take a number of 40-story developments. Five years ago, 40 stories would have had a real "wow" factor. Today, we've become spoiled and numb to them. The good news is that, after some of these (e.g. this tower, Hanover River Oaks, Market Square Tower), it just might take a 60-story development to get the same pop. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Could the demand exist for very high end condos in a tall, skinny tower similar to what's going up in New York? Think an average of fewer than one unit per floor. The shape of this parcel is peculiar and a tall-skinny that would require less parking might get the job done if any demand could be drummed up.

richfish Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Since it is next to a Randall Davis, will he buy it and try and tie it to his other one? A little Charles E. Smith Crystal City of buildings owned by one guy.The space is larger than the Cosmo lot. You could easily fit a Cosmo oriented East-West on the parcel which would minimize 'view destruction' for the Cosmo. Whatever is planned there I'm sure the Cosmo will end up suing. Between this and the current BRT suit, those guys will be shelling out some major coin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again this looks very conceptual and I hope this one stays that way. Interesting that the site plan on their website only has one tenant listed, the rug store. Did the others already expire and move out? Maybe they're planning on moving forward? Another question is, wasn't that old rendering with Amreit before they were bought out? It's likely Eden (Amreit buyer) will have their own ideas, plan and rendering. http://edens.com/centers/TX/Houston/Courtyard-on-Post-Oak Edited September 4, 2015 by lockmat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has been announced officially, but Dinerstein’s concept is a 30-story mixed-use project with two levels of retail. Dinerstein paid dearly for the tract, which is less than two acres.

TRC Capital Partners CEO Steve Lerner tells us the multifamily community will have 30k SF of retail. According to Reality News Report, the project is a 30-story mixed-use tower with two levels of retail and the less than two-acre site was acquired for a pretty penny at $20M. We’re waiting on an official announcement from Dinerstein with all the juicy details. Read more at: https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/commercial-real-estate/5-exciting-post-oak-projects-underway-54544?utm_source=CopyShare&utm_medium=Browser 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
