If this happens, this building would be taller than the Williams tower, right? I live in that area.

Montrose1100 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Odd location for a skyscraper, but staying true to Houston's style. Without revealing names can you name a source for the rumor? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams Tower is 64 floors. I guess it would depend on the crown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) ^^^ @gene did you guys ask the "employee with barnhart co." a bit more questions regarding his / her startling revelation? this seems HIGHLY UNLIKELY that there will be a second edifice in such close proximity to the williams tower.. with the same floor height in the uptown district. in fact, it seems ridiculous.....

gene Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 haha nope we just kind of said...oh great, now we have to move AGAIN! moving an office is the worst! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangledwoods Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 There are 3 EMPTY lots on Post Oak that would be much more likely to build a tower on than 2121 Sage. I could easily see that property getting torn down for a mid-high rise residential but I cant believe this would go commercial.......

Urbannizer Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Update, thanks @gene! They just told us 2 months ago that they have now extended leases until 2024. They were talking with someone that apparently negotiations fell through with. So now we have had 2 new tenants move in...and they have been doing a few small repairs etc. Honestly this building should be knocked down and i was excited about the possibility of moving haha! I will keep you updated if i hear more...and if you would like to delete the topic then i am of course okay with that if you feel that is necessary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Thank you @Urbannizer! I think it is inevitable that something will happen eventually as this building is old and more importantly SMALL for such a big lot.... land is too valuable in the galleria area 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
