shasta Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Hard to tell. Looks like they put in a new sidewalk. There are definitely new flags there though. But you're right... some of them are inside the fence. I hope this thing happens... I really do. Regent Square Houston by Marc longoria, on Flickr Regent Square Houston by Marc longoria, on Flickr Went to the Morris website. Went back several pages in the thread to see if this had been posted before. Is this new? That rendering is from around 2008...not sure if they drastically revised the plan or left as it was in 2008. Also, the website is still dated 2008 http://www.regentsq.com/indexFlash.html Edited August 23, 2015 by shasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 That is the wrong type of sidewalk for the type of development pictured. 1 Quote 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 BLVD Place & ROD got out of the ground before this one. I'm curious about the delays, even the midrise portions which is a majority of it. Quote 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 Quote 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 Quote 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). Also interesting to hear that RS would allow public parking in their project to make up for removal of on-street parking.

lockmat Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It looks like the site plan hasn't changed so far. I hope the draft house isn't replacing the condo tower that was supposed to go there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Howard, the association's treasurer, presented details about the project to residents. He said he had met with an official from the Boston-based development company earlier in the week. "They're ready to go," Howard said, explaining how the project had been shelved during the recession. He showed off booklets the developer had passed along containing renderings and site maps. It was dated Nov. 16, 2015.Howard told the group, which was meeting in the library of Carnegie Vanguard High School in the Montrose area, that the project would contain 400,000 square feet of shops and restaurants, 240,000 square feet of office space, 950 multifamily units and 4,200 parking spaces.Plans for an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, an entertainment concept that combines a movie theater and dining, in Regent Square are still in the works, as well. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're smart and once they get the first phase up and running, things might not be so gloomy.Just crazy they've held out this long. And thankfully positive news.

I believe the pink color represents retail - there is a retail space for lease at the corner of the Sovereign. A large portion of the sovereign on the ground floor is the parking garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota79 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I heard today from a good source that a 40 story residential tower is actually in final stages of development here. Anyone have the scoop? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 40. The magic number. ...which cannot be exceeded.Seriously.

Dakota79 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 40 would look good there. 85 would be better but we must take what we can. How tall is the AIG building - could look good that distance from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pragmatist Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Seriously. I started a thread on this a year or so ago in the general Houston subforum.. What's with residential towers stopping at 40..? There's no real force that pushes them to go taller. While I'm not in the real estate development trade, there must be a sweet spot with the return on investment for residential towers near 40 floors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How tall is the AIG building - could look good that distance from each other.According to Wikipedia: The America Tower is a 590 ft (180m) tall skyscraper. It was completed in 1983 and has 42 floors. It is the 19th tallest building in the city. It serves as the headquarters of Baker Hughes.[3] It served as the former headquarters of Continental Airlines; it now houses AIG American General and BDO USA, LLP.

Dakota79 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 According to Wikipedia:Off this subject - sorta -but have you noticed the Hanover building on Montrose can be seen from all over now? It's incredible. And when regent square gets built it'll make Allen Parkway look incredible. It just needs a cool top so we can enjoy it (and I don't mean a styrofoam diamond! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the pink color represents retail - there is a retail space for lease at the corner of the Sovereign. A large portion of the sovereign on the ground floor is the parking garage. This map does indeed show the existing ground floor plan of the Sovereign, that is the upper half of it (when seen from the right angle). The pink, as you mentioned, is retail and the darker green represents apartments. I live here, so I recognize the layout.To me it looks like they plan to extend the Sovereign on the south side, continuing the garage-wrapped-in-retail-and-apartments style.

This feels like an East Coast tower. Maybe not something directly New York Cityish, but along the lines of Boston or Philadelphia, and to a lesser extend Atlanta.It's clean, unoffensive, and a strong, dark pallet. Refreshing to see something other than Southern California or Emerald Coast-esque. Almost like this cold tall beer i'm enjoying while posting this nonsense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
