I'm fairly certain a separate residential building is going in there. I think it's in the BLVD Place master plan.

It is. The plans for that one are still on their site plan map (here: http://www.blvdplace...rojectPlans.htm). Initially that was the site for the Hanover Tower, so there's a little confusion over what's going here now. It may be that Hanover is actually going to be putting up two residential towers here. No concrete information about it that I've seen at this point.

So the site closest to San Felipe is the location of the square tower that was first revealed years ago? I guess we always thought this new rendering was replacing it, but it's not. Correct?

That's where the confusion is. When the tower that's currently going up (the curved one) was first announced, it was made to sound like it was a replacement for the tower that was always talked about to go on the small block formed by Sky Lark, Post Oak Ln. and San Felipe (this tower: http://swamplot.com/...-blvd-place.jpg). But given that the site plans on their website show both, with that site looking the same as it always has, there's no clear information one way or the other. Personally I'm hoping they go back to their original pre-recession 57-story plan (here: http://www.slideshare.net/whyarc/2012-jy-hanover), but I'd be very happy to see a tower of any kind go there. I'm all for parks but a little patch of grass in that area is frankly IMO.

Unfortunately, that's the ORIGINAL plan for the site, circa 2007. This tower (http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/hanover-blvd-place.jpg) is the most recent rendering for that site. I wish the 57-story one was more recent, but it's not. It's a pre-recession rendering, meaning that it's pretty much certain to never happen.

crazy that i have never seen that rendering before... 57-stories is a very impressive tower. i agree w you that there is almost no chance of that happening, though, at least in the near to mid future. the tower i am STILL holding out for is the 53-story ritz.... that thing needs to happen in the worst the way as the galleria area is in desperate need of a legitimate 5-star hotel. once again, not holding my breath.

"Houston-based Hanover Co. broke ground in late December on its newest high-rise — Hanover Post Oak in the Blvd Place mixed-use project — one month ahead of schedule.

The apartment structure, which will be composed of 355 units averaging 1,055 square feet, will be completed in phases, said David Ott, development partner at Hanover.

The first units will be delivered in early fall 2014, and Hanover — the contractor, owner and manager of the property — will be completely finished with the project by spring of 2015, Ott said."

Also in the Bizjournal article linked above was this last paragraph.

 

 

Plans for Blvd Place also include 1,000 high-rise multifamily residential units and an upscale boutique hotel.

 

 

I'm so lost on the twists and turns of Blvd Place.  Can someone simply explain where the other 645 high-rise units are going and where the hotel is going.

 

Last I knew,  only high-rise buildings being built were Hanover's (above) and whatever Apache builds.

 

I apologize in advance for being dense on this one.

Yeah, I kinda agree. Can somebody clear up the BLVD. mess and which is which?

not your fault, it's easy to be confused on this one. according to the latest master plan for the site that someone posted a page or two back, the plans show two more residential highrises and a hotel highrise in addition to the hannover bldg, apaches two bldgs and the whole foods/retail/office space. who knows what the actual status of those are, though.

Here's the site plan:

As swtsig said, it calls for 6 towers total: 3 residential, 1 hotel, 2 office.

Thanks.   Do we have any idea of the configuration of the additional high rises?  Or are they just "proposed"?  

 

From what I understand,  all the really cool configurations from earlier in the thread are all gone now - correct?

 

So far no plans of any kind have been released. There were several previous proposals for some of them, but most of them are unlikely at best. Right now we are just waiting for new information to come out, and we have no timeline for that.
