LBC2HTX Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 So the site on Westcreek across from the Wilshire/Sky House and Arabella is a paved over parking lot for Harris County Public Health. Does anyone have any intel on if the Gables development and the planned office building and other residential development are still in the works? Also, the Wilshire is wrapping up and the plot to the south of it where the sales building and and equipment has been stored will presumably clear out soon. Is there still a hotel planned for it? Then there's also ROD Phase II which is a whole other animal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db650 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Is this going to block the views of Skyhouse, Arabella and the Wilshire? The views from these buildings in many units are already poor from the north-south sides due to their proximity to reach other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The views from these buildings in many units are already poor from the north-south sides due to their proximity to reach other. This will enhance the views. They're currently looking at a parking lot to the west (and I don't mean 610) and a vacant lot to the south, where a hotel is proposed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguysly Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 It is a little offset from Wilshire so it shouldn't affect any direct views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJilliams Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Looks like very little has changed since I drove by 2-3 weeks ago. Wasn't construction supposed to have begun already, or is the start date later? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 There is such a large concentration of lux high rises on Westcreek. Why Westcreek? There's going to be 5, or 6 towers on that single stretch of Westcreek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC2HTX Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 1) They’re all adjacent to the newest luxury shopping destination in Houston. 2) likely easier/cheaper than developing on the other side of 610 3) The land was previously underutilized and the surrounding neighborhood was already being redeveloped with luxury townhomes and condos (e.g Briarglen condos and highland tower condos). Its for the same reason that all the older homes in the area have been slowly being torn-down and rebuilt with million dollar homes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0ken_shad0w Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Between Arabella, Gables, whatever retail they are building on 610, the Equinox hotel, and the lot behind Arabella, Westcreek is going to get quite busy again. And that San Felipe Target will start looking very out of place in a couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
