CREguy13 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Harris County bought 1111 Fannin from Triten recently. They want to consolidate several properties to this building. This would be huge for downtown. The County own a lot of buildings/land that would present great development opportunities for more urban infill on northside of CBD. Looking forward to more details. https://therealdeal.com/2021/06/09/harris-county-set-to-buy-downtown-houston-office-building-for-close-to-29m/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to think though that certain offices will want to remain in walking distance from the courthouse, like Family Law, etc. So which offices don't have this requirement? I don't really know enough about the county. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate4l1f3 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I would love for 1001 Preston (County tax office) to come available. Fronts Main Street and is basically a dead zone for that side of Main. 🤞🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure whether or how quickly developers would do anything with the buildings at Caroline and Preston, given that that two short buildings at Caroline and Prairie are just sitting vacant, and the office renovation at 412 Main was unsuccessful. Historic office space just seems to be a failing proposition downtown unless it is a large building like 712 Main or 1001 McKinney that can be brought to Class A-/B+ status. Our office tenants don't do quirky. On the other hand, the Cotton Exchange building does seem like it would have a bright future without the county, either as residential or hotel. Floor heights will probably determine what that future is, but I'm thinking hotel since there's no balconies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty nice Mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly doesn’t do much for me. I know there was some recent work done do it but at the very least some GFR would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
