rechlin Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 That was for removing the microwave antenna podium (the dark gray tower on the left side of the roof) from the AT&T building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4.6-acre parcel at the intersection of West Alabama Street and Weslayan Street, which is currently being used as a surface parking lot for AT&T employees, is on the market, according to documents obtained by the Houston Business Journal. Cushman & Wakefield's Jim Foreman, who's marketing the land alongside David Chuoke, said AT&T listed the land about five days ago. "They want to monetize the site," Foreman said. AT&T is currently being used as overflow parking for its 12-story property at 3303 Weslayan, which is formerly known as the Southwestern Bell Building. AT&T has already re-platted the land for commercial development, Foreman said. This isn't AT&T's first go-around at monetizing that site, though. Foreman marketed the land for AT&T back in 2015, too. "The market wasn't right for it two years ago," he said. "We're in a much better market today with good fundamentals." Though the land's only been listed for less than a week, Foreman said interest is strong among different levels of investors. Cushman & Wakefield isn't listing the land with an asking price – they're going to let the market determine the value of the land, Foreman said – and offers are encouraged to be submitted by mid-April. The land sits across the street from two notable developments. To the parcel's north side is PMRG's 2929 Weslayan: the city's tallest residential tower outside of downtown. The high rise delivered in 2016, stands at 40 stories and won an HBJ 2017 Landmark Award. "I'd anticipate they'd hopefully have an interest," Foreman said, when asked whether PMRG has plans to submit an offer. The office building at 3000 Weslayan sits at the parcel's east side. The Class B building was recently acquired by Houston-based Morningside Capital, which eventually plans to redevelop the building into some sort of residential development. When asked what kind of development that land would support, Morningside's co-founder, Chris Calato, suggested more luxury residential for the intersection. "You don’t have to have a great imagination to see what could go there. You could look right across the street," he said, referring to PMRG's high-rise project. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/03/15/exclusive-storied-at-t-parcel-near-river-oaks-hits.html 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked that developers can still pencil out mid-rise buildings on premium land pushing $200psf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Already pulled, though I got a good look at it earlier (and it's still in the Google cache). The renderings seemed to make it pretty clear that it's the lot just north of AT&T. The size is right, too, as I'd guess that lot to be just under 5 acres. Perhaps the fact they are planning wood construction rather than steel/concrete above the retail implies they don't expect this to last long, and this would be replaced with something using the space better in 30 years or so.

The building, a 400,000-SF structure, was built in the early 1970s. It was built on a 9-acre tract connected to Kenneth Schnitzer’s famous Greenway Plaza assemblage. Trammell Crow Residential is expected to brand the project with its “Alexan” moniker, naming it “Alexan Lynn Park” after the nearby subdivision. The property is located in the 3300 block of Weslayan. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 While running some errands before work, I saw that all the fences had been torn down. Its weird to see that whole parking lot now accessible to walk all over. If any of yall are around there I would go take a walk. Won't ever be like that again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamplot is all about what is going on "right now" with a dash of voyeurism; What is done in the now that you can drive by and see for yourself. This isn't to say that they haven't done some top notch stuff nor uncovered some good stories, but thats just not the heart of what they do. I go to Swamplot to check out the latest demo's and they do a great job at being an aggregate news site of other latest news. If I want in-depth research, thorough discussion and documentation of a site, then I come here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
