Downtown Houston 2025 Master Plan
TexasGeneral replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
My guess is redevelopment - replacement of the black '70's style glass with a more modern look. -
How much office space does Houston have?
TexasGeneral replied to Timoric's topic in Houston Real Estate
I believe Washington D.C. is the largest office market in the country. -
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.

800 Bell St. (Former Exxon Building) Conversion to Residential
TexasGeneral replied to TheNiche's topic in Downtown
It seems like Chevron could take over this whole renovated building without having to build another tower. Would be very cost effective for Chevron.- 690 replies

The Astoria: Condominium High-Rise At 1405 Post Oak Blvd.
TexasGeneral replied to wxman's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
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.- 988 replies

Texaco Building (now The Star) At 1111 Rusk Street
TexasGeneral replied to editor's topic in Downtown
I was only talking about downtown development. Obviously, there are a ton of other towers going up or proposed city-wide. -
Texaco Building (now The Star) At 1111 Rusk Street
TexasGeneral replied to editor's topic in Downtown
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. -

Inner loop desperately needs more movie theaters. Edwards Greenway and the one downtown are basically your only options.- 269 replies

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.

Drove by again today. Looks like they are digging up the old concrete remaining from the parking lot that used to be on the property as well as clearing brush and a few trees. There is a large portion of the site that is now just flat, smoothed out dirt. This looks like site preparation to me. I wonder if there will be a formal ground breaking ceremony soon.

It looks like this building is just going to be a carbon copy of the one right behind it. I'm sure all they did was dust off the plans. I expect this thing to be done in no time.

Pearl 21Eleven: Multifamily At 2119 Westheimer Rd.
TexasGeneral replied to TexasGeneral's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I think the Adobe site, combined with the surface lot, is still too small for traditional wrap around mid-rise apartments. Looking at it on Google maps, the parking lot is considerably smaller than the apartment complex just down the street and much smaller than West Ave. Could just be a smaller project like the Bellmeade up the street. I think Hines may be trying to introduce a different product to the area than the traditional Texas doughnut wrap around.- 115 replies

Per the chron.com site, Hines has purchsed the Cafe Adobe site on Westheimer. I am assuming this also includes the surface lot across the street. To me, this site is too small for the typical 4-5 story apartment complex wrapped around structured parking. Could Hines be going vertical with an apartment high rise? http://blog.chron.co...eimer-property/
