bachanon Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 uptown continues its eastward expansion.....watch out afton oaks, you may not have light rail going through your neighborhood, but you are increasingly surrounded by high density development and towers looking down on you (along with university line supporters with long memories) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 MOAR HIGH RISES!!! this along with the WestCreek developments will make the "urban canyon" along 610 feel even more like youre driving through a sea of high rises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when I see aerial shots from River Oaks looking years uptown.Kind of scary. Berlins population is packed in twice as dense as we are. Can't imagine the traffic but the city scapes are staying to look eerily similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonIsHome Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 show us some pics to compare. I don't remember the Berlin skyline...Its not just the skyline per se, I was referencing the heavy infill and eclectic feel.Berlin had a heap of buildings razed during and after THE war so it didn't have that totally older feel. The mix just made me wonder if thats where that chunk of town is heading. A densely packed hodge podge of buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 26 minutes ago, Pumapayam said: So, they share an elevator? I'm pretty sure there will be more than one. The set-up will probably ultimately share guest privileges at both hotels, like possibly sharing a restaurant/bar area, which aren't found in Holiday Inn Express units. Actually, I don't know how they'll end up doing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It would be the most beautiful building they've ever built if it ends up like the rendering (not that that's saying much). But based on how their other buildings have gone, I am expecting unpainted cinder block when done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2016/07/exclusive-dual-branded-hotel-to-rise-in-galleria.html A dual-branded Holiday Inn Express and Staybridge Suites is coming to Houston's Galleria area, a spokesperson for U.K.-based Intercontinental Hotels Group (NYSE: IHG) told the Houston Business Journal. The brand's franchise agreement was signed in May 2015, the spokesperson said. Houston-based American Liberty Hospitality Inc. is the franchisee and will develop the hotel, but declined to comment on a timeline or specific location. A rendering of the hotel can be seen on American Liberty Hospitality's website. American Liberty Hospitality just wrapped up another dual-branded hotel in Houston – the 300-room Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites by Hilton, which opened in March. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 http://modyspace.com/WestLoop610-Details Galleria West Loop 610 : is a 1.79 acres parcel of land on the prominent West Loop South in Houston. It is in the heart of Galleria and Highland Village ,Uptown Park and Bvld at walking distance. These are the most upscale retail shopping areas in the city. The Galleria, is an upscale mixed-use urban development centrally located in the Uptown District. It has a retail complex, the Galleria Office Towers complex, 2 Westin hotels, and a private health club. With 3 million total square feet of space that includes 2.4 million of gross leasable area with over 375 stores, the Galleria is the largest mall in Texas and eighth-largest in the United States. It is currently anchored by Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and two separate, full-line Macy's. This piece of land has enormous potential due to its location and neighborhood affinities with the most affluent population of Houston. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Reminds me of Katy Fwy buildings. Confirmation of location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 "Two separate full-line Macy's" obviously dates the writing of that, considering Macy's at Sage closed in 2014. As for location, it's a 1.79 acre parcel, but the "legal description" dates it back to 2002. We know it's "north of Westheimer"...the plot where Joe's Golf House was is too small (besides, it was still occupied in 2002), another plot a bit south of it is possible but also on the small side (1.57 acres). My guess is a plot just southwest of Post Oak Blvd. and 610, as it has a proper calculated acreage (~1.8 as per Google Earth), north of Westheimer, is wider in the front than back, and never previously occupied (open space in 2002).

asubrt Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Can’t see much of the lot from this photo, but looks like things are getting underway. They’ve got the orange blockades on the south edge of the lot by the Stage building and some guys were on site starting what looked like construction fencing on the 610 side. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
