Mab Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, a relatively new brand with a long history, is consolidating its local offices into a high-profile urban space in Uptown.New York-based NGKF has leased 38,582 square feet for a regional headquarters in 2 BLVD Place at 1700 Post Oak Blvd. at San Felipe near The Galleria. The company will take up the bulk of the office space in the building, which also houses North Italia restaurant and a Verizon retail store, and is part of the BLVD Place mixed-use development."It's an opportunity for us to introduce the brand to the community and put all of our resources and people together," said Neal Golden, vice chairman of NGKF. "It's just a first step in the expansion and the growth of the Newmark brand in Texas."The move will bring together nearly 100 employees from NGKF's local offices, including brokers from ARA Newmark, the national apartment brokerage firm acquired by NGKF's parent company, BGC Partners, in December 2014."We now offer a distinct advantage for our multihousing clients with ARA Newmark's direct ability to tap into the global debt, equity and investment markets," Matthew Rotan, vice chairman of ARA Newmark, said in an announcement. "Perfecting our service model to provide investment sales strategies and services, as well as facilitating private and institutional debt and equity assignments throughout the client transaction process, is our ultimate goal."NGKF, which traces its roots back to 1929, is among the biggest commercial real estate brokerage firms, along with CBRE Group, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield and Colliers International, according to a recent ranking by the National Real Estate Investor publication based on global transaction value. The company, which aligned with Knight Frank of London in 2006, provides a full range of commercial real estate services to tenants, landlords, investors and developers. Grubb was added to the company name after BGC Partners acquired the assets of commercial real estate firm Grubb & Ellis in 2012.NGKF has been expanding in major cities in the U.S. and Texas, and the new Houston office offers the benefits of a "24-7 environment" with places to live, work and play, Golden said. Being in one building allows NGKF to provide better service to its clients, and the space allows room for growth.Employees recently moved into the new BLVD Place office after relocating from nearby buildings on Post Oak Boulevard and on San Felipe. The second floor of the office, which will be the main entrance, is still being finished with completion planned in March.Other parts of the BLVD Place complex include a flagship Whole Foods Market, a Frost Bank regional headquarters, and the 30-story Hanover Post Oak apartment building."We are pleased that NGKF selected our development because of their extensive knowledge and experience with commercial properties," said Ed Wulfe, chairman and CEO of Wulfe & Co., the managing partner of the development.With the deal, BLVD Place is 98 percent leased. There is room for additional buildings, but no timetable for construction yet."We have future plans to expand with approximately 135,000 square feet of office retail and restaurant space, similar to the existing buildings," Wulfe said.Lispah Hogan, executive managing director of NGKF, represented her firm in the lease. Marilyn Guion and Connor Saxe of Colvill Office Properties and Elise Weatherall of Wulfe & Co. represented the landlord. BLVD Place is owned by a fund managed by Bailard of Foster City, Calif., and advised by Stockbridge Capital Group of San Francisco.NGKF and its London-based partner Knight Frank operate more than 370 office worldwide with 12,800 professionals.http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Deal-of-the-Week-Real-estate-broker-consolidates-6778583.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 From my experience, those "timelines/construction schedules" are usually put together early on in the design process, and are very far from accurate estimations. Since we have yet to see any public release on HBJ or they the architect/Hanover, I'm about pretty sure this won't start in July. Here's hoping tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's wishful thinking, but it does seem, at least from this cycle, that energy companies like buildings built specifically for them. Maybe this experience will push them back to leasing space though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this experience will push them back to leasing space though. That would be great, but Oxy restructured their lease for a long term so who knows whether they would hold the land. If Apache were to be acquired, Oxy may sell the land back to the original developer. This wouldn't necessarily be bad for BLVD Place and the area.

monarch Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 ^^^ @Avossos no layoffs are simple. also, wouldn't the number of "layoffs" be indicative as to whether or not the tower in question is hereby needed? additionally, the proposed merger between apache and mariner energy.... has now become finalized. one would guess that all of the inner intangibles shall at some point become public. hopefully, houston capitalizes....

Popular Post brijonmang Posted June 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just got sent a few renderings of BLVD Place, I'll try to describe it since I haven't been given the green light to post anything yet. Base looks very similar to BLVD Place where Whole Foods is, and then the tower portion is very similar to Hanover River Oaks (only one main tower though - not L shaped like the River Oaks building). There are some set backs of balconies to give a bit of 'character' to the building but over all it's a pretty simple boxy design (nothing like 2929 Weslayan). There does appear to be a little interesting feature at the roof level as the last floor curves away from the box shape to accommodate a plaza with a pool. Bonus feature, the pool has a bit of a cantilever like Market Square Tower downtown. Not sure there is a glass bottom, though. 27 stories, should compliment the first apartment tower well. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inc.’s Blvd Place retail center. Brandt Bowden, Hanover’s managing partner for capital markets, told the Houston Business Journal in an email that the developer intends to break ground on Hanover Boulevard Place this year, though the exact date for the construction start is yet to be determined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The exciting thing about this is the fact that when Hanover presents a rendering thats what your going to get. Every one of their projects and renderings have been spot on exact. I really like how they run their office. I sure hope they eventually build the River Oaks Kirby project because thats an outstanding design and would look great across from the Ziegler Cooper building. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
