Specwriter Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I do like this rendering. Maybe I'm too picky but the single word "apart" means separate or different from as in "Keep those two dogs apart; they do not get along." If Twitter1 is asking if the development is a part (a constituent of) Greenway Plaza I would say no. It is interesting that Twitter1 put quotes around "apart." Maybe he or she was just baiting someone like me, a grammar obsessive/compulsive. I also share confusion about which buildings are and are not a part of Greenway Plaza. The residential towers west of Timmons have the 77046 zip code and I was told at one time that Phoenix tower was not a part of GP but was apart from it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter1 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Drove by this morning. Hard to take photos of the lot considering the project fence. It's such a huge area though! Going to be amazing to see it transform over the next decade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINK Thanks for posting that link, Skyline. I do remember that map. The Kock building was known as Innova at one time. I know that there have been different property managers of GWP over the years and perhaps a sale or two. Maybe that is what accounts for some buildings no longer being included in the development. At any rate, the proposed development at Alabama and Buffalo Speedway looks really great. I hope it is realized much the way it appears in the rendering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREguy13 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 To break ground in 2019, Per HBJ Article this morning: When California-based Spear Street Capital, a commercial real estate investment and development firm, came into the Houston market in 2017, it set off a flurry of office investment activity in the Bayou City. The company has since bought office towers in downtown, Uptown and west Houston, as well as a joint venture with Houston-based Transwestern Development Co. at the site of an old Exxon campus on Buffalo Speedway. The project with Transwestern will be a mixed-use development known as The Ro, which will break ground in 2019, according to marketing materials from Transwestern and Spear Street. Transwestern confirmed the information but declined to comment further. The Ro will be built on 16.88 acres at 3120 Buffalo Speedway, just half a block away from Greenway Plaza and a few blocks away from River Oaks. Tranwestern and Spear Street bought the tract in a partnership in March 2017. Later that month, Spear Street's John Grassi shared more details on the project with the Houston Business Journal. "You can imagine some nice retail users, some nice multifamily users," Grassi said in March 2017. "Even in these tough times, you can imagine a nice office use as well — something a little more creative in appearance and something more boutique-y that would fit with the neighborhood demographics." Grassi also said at the time that the project's development could take a while. Spear Street didn't return requests for comment. The old Exxon campus was comprised of a six-story, 450,000-square-foot, single-tenant office building, a 100,000-square-foot training center, 13 auxiliary buildings and a large parking structure. In January 2017, Spear Street bought the three aforementioned Houston office properties: 5 Houston Center, Energy Center I and 515 Post Oak Boulevard. The 1.2 million-square-foot deal was valued at $272 million, according to a release from seller Atlanta-based Columbia Property Trust Inc. (NYSE: CXP). Spear Street has since begun renovating 5 Houston Center. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJilliams Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Coolio, I always drive by the site and was waiting to hear an update since the banners still show a 2019 groundbreaking. Man, this project could be massive if all phases are built out! So it looks like we are still going to get 3 towers in Phase I according to the packet.

DNAguy Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Two thoughts: 1.) The slow march of the eventual merging of Upper Kirby, Greenway, Highland Village, ROD, and finally the Galleria keeps progressing 2.) The AT&T building's (or at least its large parking lot) days are numbered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
