    This site, combined with the vacant building and parking lot at the NW corner of Buffalo Speedway and Richmond, have the potential to be developed into something really great. He is right when he says this tract is one of the largest and most desirable in-fill locations left in Houston.

    That is an amazing looking residential building. I love the floor to ceiling glass on the end units.

    Only one of the buildings proposed is nearly six times as large as the existing building. I guess it depends on the scale and type of hotel + resi components. Access is bad - Waugh is only one way at the site and is right before the merge onto Memorial. Feagan is a narrow, tiny street with drainage issues.

    I don't see how a project of this magnitude can fit on that site. Access would be a real issue.

    Developers are all using drones now to capture views from specific floors as marketing tools.

    I like the last picture with the market square tower included as well. Based on these renderings, it looks like this tower will be as tall as One Shell and First City Tower, if not taller.

    I don't have a picture, but a tower crane is now up on what appears to be the site of the 10-story Town Center 1.

    Oxy only has 200 employees in LA. The move to Houston will only bring a few dozen jobs. So, it is unlikely any of this tower will be Oxy.

    A construction fence is being put up around the property.

    When does groundbreaking start? Do they have all financing in place?

    My guess is redevelopment - replacement of the black '70's style glass with a more modern look.

    It is very difficult to re-develop the site of an old gas station for other uses due to environmental reasons. Most likely, it is a new gas station that wll use the existing underground tanks.

    Does anyone know what is going up at the corner of San Felipe and Fountain View? Those old Fountain View apartments look like they are being demo'ed. New MF?

    The tower crane behind Trader Joe's is for an assisted living center. There is a sign on the construction site. That is all I know about it.

    That is definitely the Apache site.

    It seems like Chevron could take over this whole renovated building without having to build another tower. Would be very cost effective for Chevron.

    Wow. What an improvement over the "radiator" design. It's almost like adding a whole new building to the skyline.

    I don't see how a tower this size can fit on that small of a lot. The McDonald's will have a bigger footprint than this tower, if it ever gets built.

    I was only talking about downtown development. Obviously, there are a ton of other towers going up or proposed city-wide.

    So, to summarize: 1. 24 story sky house apartment tower under construction 2. 30 story Marriott hotel proposed 3. 50 story Chevron tower rumored 4. 41 story Hines tower proposed 5. 33 story Skanska proposed 6. 38 story apartment tower proposed 7. 37+ story Stream tower proposed 8. 50 story Allen Center 5 proposed I am hopeful at least half of these will be built. My bet is the sky house, the Marriott, the Chevron tower, the Hines tower and the 38 story apartments, in order of completion probability.

    Tower crane went up today.
  22. TexasGeneral
    Any details you can provide on height of the office tower? Are we talking 10 floors, 20 floors, 30 floors?
  23. TexasGeneral
    Does "office-heavy" mean a new tower?
  24. TexasGeneral
    I really think Richmond avenue between Buffalo Speedway and Kirby is prime for re-development. There are some old mid-rise offices and a large vacant lot both along Richmond and the 59 access road. Would be great to see some high rise residential.

    This is good news, although I will be sad to see those old oak trees on the Solvay site get torn down.
