The developer also has two other luxury apartment towers in the works in Houston: a 40-story, 300-unit project in Upper Kirby,

which could break ground in the third quarter; and a 30-story, 300-unit proposed project in the River Oaks Shopping District, in conjunction with Houston-based Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE: WRI) that is expected to break ground in 2018.

So are we going to start calling this ROSD? Not to be confused with ROD.

[Tolarwan]

This is starting in may according to a source..... fence going up....

I also like seeing that Giorgetti Houston is now 25% sold.  Both of these projects are a great addition to UK.

[lockmat]

UK blowin up!

 

I like that nickname!

[HoustonBoy]

I like the way UK sounds as well! It just sounds like a popular area of a big city.

They don't have a project manager that they use for all of their projects..?

[BigFootsSocks]

PM is a vague-ish term; a civil firm with ~20 employees might have 5-6 engineers, most of which are technically PM's along with their associates titles.

[bobruss]

Isn't it possible that they are getting busier and perhaps needed to add more help.

I would imagine there is a project manager for every job.

Time to put the render here so we don't have to search 13 pages

Plus here's the other rendering:

Looked like they were drilling on-site today. Hard to see with the fencing but definitely lots of activity. 

[KinkaidAlum]

Got a glimpse tonight in the darkness. They've dug a huge hole for either the  foundation pour or maybe even an underground parking level? It's quite large and looks to cover the entire footprint of the building. The wind has torn off the windscreens so you can catch a glimpse but it was too dark to capture a good photo.

[hindesky]

I rode by and happened to talk with a guy. He said it's only going to be one floor deep basement with a podium parking garage, 1 tower crane on the southeast corner. He said they tried to buy the property on the northwest corner but the guy wouldn't sell but he gets $100,000 for having the tower crane boom flying over his property. They are attempting to get Beck's Prime to sell their northeast corner and place them in the GFR. He also said the HEB project will be starting up soon. No trucks will be allowed to to travel west of the corner on Steel St thus protecting the Oak trees, all trucks will enter on Kipling and exit on Steel St. corner near  Kirby heading eastbound only.

Thanks for the detail Hindesky.  Sounds like a good convo.

Giorgetti breaks ground in early 2018. If the HEB mixed-use does break ground soon the three would all rise together at some point. Quite the addition to UK, densifying the area while extending mixed-use southward (Kirby Collection does this as well). 

 

[wxman]

Are the other future developments on this block high rises, too?

[KinkaidAlum]

I still have a dream that someday we'll have a green roof initiative. Imagine that picture with gardens/parks on top of the sprawling apartment buildings and garages.

Am I the only frustrated by some of the land deals that adversely affect some of these impressive new developments?

 

1) Asia Society- Yosio Taniguchi had to change the entire orientation of his first ground-up structure in the US due to the fact that the house adjacent wouldn't sell and then they went ahead and sold after the museum was completed.

 

2) Rice Village- This old house owned by Allied Home Health wouldn't initially sell in Rice Village which is why Randall Davis couldn't initially build-out the corner in his failed development that eventually became Hanover's..

 

3) Beck's Prime- first of all - greta burger but dumpy outdated restaurant building. They have help up the site lines for this beautiful development by not selling the land. Honestly, these real estate problems leaves so many of these developments looking hodge podge.

When Hines developed the Galleria there was an office building that wouldn't sell and Hines eventually dug a 30 foot pit around the building on three sides and meanwhile offered them (Michel T. Halbouty) space in a new office building across the street. They sold. Sometimes you just gotta make it worth their while.

In about 20 years the downtown-upper kirby, greenway plaza, river oaks, galleria skylines should all connect
