Urbannizer Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 so no one answered my question earlier.. do y'all think the white tower to the left is the Sovereign? if so, this appears to literally be butting up against the south side of the Sovereigns garage. are there no apartments wrapped around that side of it? It's The Sovereign; that side of the building is a blank wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks catty corner to it, as noted in my previous post by the orientation of the Soverign it is to the southwest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Well its a long term project they are developing little by little in sections... so yeah I don't expect this to look like the oroginal renderings over the long haul but similar in a way, like the central courtyard, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hysinger Posted July 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I hate to create false hope, but I noticed activity at the site tonight on the way home. Looks like they are taking soil samples (company called Terracon) on the lot bounded by Allen Parkway, Dunlavy, W Dallas and Tirrell. Also, I noticed a banner attached to the fence on the lot across W Dallas for Morris (www.morris-hz.com).

BigFootsSocks Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 With my limited experience in the engineering field, geotech results are usually taken a few months before construction begins, so good chance this starts up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you reveal where you read that? I figured this was coming but it seems odd given they were doing soil work just two weeks ago. Honestly, GID's philosophy with this property is hard to understand. They have now missed two real estate booms, and if they are canceling, will miss the third. This a prime property, about to get better with the renovation of buffalo bayou / allen parkway. Perhaps they will sell it so something can actually happen here. Edited August 19, 2015 by hysinger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Not much of an update: https://www.facebook.com/JordanSkala GID Development’s Regent Square in Houston, Texas, is a 24-acre walkable mixed-use redevelopment project that will feature a blend of upscale retail shops, restaurants, residential buildings, office space, and parks/green spaces within the city’s urban core. Additionally, Regent Square is pursuing LEED BD+C Silver certification and will be Houston’s largest sustainable development. Jordan & Skala is providing Communications, Security, Audio/Visual, MEP, and Energy Services engineering design for parcels “A-2,”“B-2,” “B-3,” and “D-2” of the project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Have we seen this somewhat updated plan? There is a tower south of Regent Square here. I honestly think GID is seeing the boom Houston is going through and updating their plans to include more height. Just my crazy opinion. This is on Ziegler Coopers Regent Square page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hysinger Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I didn't see post about the North Montrose meeting in time, but I did attend the meeting discussing the plans for Dunlavy as part of ReBuild Houston. Several representatives from the architecture firm doing the design work for Regent Square. They said the work currently underway on Dunlavy at Allen Parkway is in part being performed as part of that development. They said phase I should break ground in Q4 2016, and considerable money was being spent by GID in preparation for that event. They said phase I would include the Alamo Draft House (near the cemetery), the commercial buildings at the SW corner of W Dallas and Dunlavy, the apartments with GF retail south of W Dallas, and retail and a parking garage north of W Dallas. Hopefully someone attended the neighborhood meeting and can provide additional detail. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hysinger Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I made the very end of the North Montrose meeting. No one form GID was there - said they "weren't ready yet." Took a picture of phase one. Stated same start date of Q4 2016 and said that Telepson was the GC. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) ^I knew I wouldn't be the only HAIFer there (Dunlavy meeting).

Triton Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 A year from now? I just hope this one gets through. I've been looking forward to Regent Square the most, especially after I gazed upon the grand scale model at their sales center and posted it here. This project is what Houston needs... a more walkable environment, so close to the newly completed bayou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
