    Or he saw the into his crystal ball that 10 years later someone would be building a garage directly adjacent to his and there was no need to dress up the south facade......

    610 has some pretty deep setbacks in this area, they probably built right up to the setback line.

    Just an FYI, that is a pretty great way to get your friend fired. Pretty sure there is an NDA associated with all Ritz jobs.

    ignoring the crazy car accident for a second.... I have been VERY impressed on the speed at which they have moved on this project. There is a school across the street that had a year + headstart and these guys might get dryed in first.

    I have worked on a few jobs like this one, here is how it will likely go: They will run interior asbestos abatement crews that will likely gut / scrap most of the interior. Then the building will be processed down with high reach demo excavators. This one should be pretty fun to watch once the get to the facade and structure demo.

    We could always do astro turf!

    The problem with turning this into a park is PR. While it would be a nice gesture, 4 years from now the headlines would read "CHEVRON DESTROYS CITY PARK" and all of the environmental folks would jump on and turn it into a negative for Chevron. These companies are allergic to any perceived or real environmental incidents and I would be really surprised to see them do anything that encourages the use of this land other than "FUTURE OFFICE BUILDING"

    i like it how our example of what could be better is a SKANSKA project in another city when they have the eyesore of a parking garage here.....

    demo contractors have bid on the work, i hear it is down to two bidders. They will NOT be imploding the building, it will be a conventional process down floor by floor.

    underground garage with retail in a podium. All glass facade 30 + floors. All glass facade. I'm not the only one that saw the rendering, hopefully it will pop up here soon.

    i recently got a sneak peak at the rendering for 1616 Post Oak (Dinerstein Property). Astoria will look like even more of a joke next to the Dinerstein job.

    My guess is that some of this realignment that we are all hoping for will be completed when TxDot reorients the I-45 path and demolishes the pierce elevated.

    Wow, I just noticed that they put the Cooling Tower on the second floor. That is going to suck for the apartments right above it. All to save a few hundred LF of pipe and horsepower on CW pumps.

    I would say 0%. They are sitting on a city block in the south side of downtown that they have owned for 5+ years. I don't see them in much of a hurry. The only change here is if their global development cash flow got pinched. Which seems to be doing fine.... http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/breaking_ground/2016/01/skanska-lands-first-tenant-for-spec-office-project.html

    Any idea on what $30 oil is going to do to rental rates for these new swank apartment towers. Who do they expect to rent all of these 1 bedroom $3-4 per SF units???

    There is a sky track buried in the ruble. My money is that the fork lift driver was loading a square of brick or block on the scaffold and knocked it down.

    there is still demand for office space in houston, but the location of this project just doesn't make sense to me. It's not uptown, or energy corridor, or downtown. I just dont understand who they would market this to.
  19. tangledwoods
    in this market at that location yeah, I wouldn't hold your breath for this one.....
  20. tangledwoods
    How will this project be affected by the I-45 realignment? Isn't that section of the freeway being demolished and brought to surface level streets? I know it is still a few years away, but it seems odd that Fertita would move forward on an expansion with so much change coming his way.

    My big concern with this one is the fact that Hines still has ZERO tenants for 609 Main. I would imagine that there is race to the bottom on tenant rates between Skanska and Hines right now. Skanska definitely has the better location but I would imagine that Hines is getting very aggressive on lease rates. It would be quite impressive to see the Skanska folks sign a tenant before Hines....
  24. tangledwoods
    through my dirty windshield:

    So Hines paid $50 million for this and if i remember correctly Skanska paid around $20 for the Houston Club. Seems like a pretty big premium for what exactly?
