    So the third tower would go up right across the water from the new tower ?
  2. Fortune
    On the BLVD Place project plans I believe it says 33 stories.
  3. Fortune
    Its the 16 story 400,000 sqft building proposed for the site of the First Baptist Church parking lot of off I-10 close to the 6-10 intersection.
  4. Fortune
    That may actually be the design of the building, IMO opinion it does resemble the building in the last renderings released of BLVD Place. Even in this rendering the other two buildings in the back ground have the same motif.

    So that brings Hines number of proposed buildings in Houston to 7. Office 1) 609 Main 2) Project Alpha 3) Memorial Point 4) 2229 San Felipe Residential 5) Apartment mid-rise on Westheimer (Cafe Adobe site) 6) Museum District high-rise 7) Downtown high-rise

    Under Houston Neighborhoods there is a sub-forum titled The East End.

    I was just about to ask the same thing. I really hope they aren't going to tear the building down. Renovating it sounds good but not tearing it down. Also, if this is true will they buy the building from shorenstein or lease it ? Also why don't they just build a tower on the block with the day care ?

    I agree if the Devon tower was built here people would be complaining that it is boring and shaped like a box.

    Exciting to see a rendering of this building. It will be great to see it rise.
  10. Fortune
    I hope it gets built like that.
  11. Fortune
    Looks nice, hopefully it will be built like the rendering.

    Here are some links to some recent interviews with Ryan Mccord about Generation Park: Also Ryan Mccord spoke about Generation Park at a recent Bisnow conference : http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/greg-and-chip-to-head-hendricks-berkadia/ "McCord Development prez Ryan McCord agrees you can build a better mouse trap. He's planning something really innovative for Generation Park's first office tower. He says it'll be a first for Houston, but we can't hear more about it until this fall. In other Generation Park news, Ryan announced he has proposals out for two 1M SF fulfillment centers."

    So is it going on the land surrounded by Barnes St, Hartman St, & Waugh Dr . . . Or Waugh Dr, Raymond St, South Heights Blvd, & Barnes St?

    Always nice to see a new high rise proposal, I hope it comes to fruition.

    Another article about the project: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2013/06/moody-ramlin-to-begin-work-on-new.html

    Oh ok so it would be more of a investment, like them developing it into a master planned community. Not necessarily just a campus head quarters. If this is true, that they are trying to purchase the site, I wish they would have purchased the KBR site or the Hardy yards site.

    I would love to see the McDonald's site, the drive thru banks, and all the single story shopping centers up and down Post oak be redeveloped into multi-story mixed use complexes and highrises. But reality is its not up to me. It's all up to the market and the owners of these properties. For the owner of the McDonald's site the McDonald's is the highest and best use for them. If it wasn't they would have sold the entire site and wouldn't have bothered with constructing a new one.

    What would a oil/gas company do with 2,175 acres ?
  21. Fortune
    Yes, it has been on the market for quite some time.
  22. Fortune
    There is a demand there ... A demand for a McDonald's that's why it is being built there. Why do you think the things that you stated have more of a demand then McDonald's? I mean the gym went out of business, if there was that much of a demand for a gym it would still be open but it closed because there was demand for a office building to be built on the site. A book store, I don't think new book stores are in great demand anymore. A souvenir shop, this is houston. A museum, it's uptown not the museum district.
  23. Fortune
    Is there ? Like what ? There are huge vacant lots not to far from this site that just sit vacant and have been for quite some time. There is even the older apartment building behind this building that could be redeveloped. So apparently the demand in that area isn't that high and this is the best and highest use the owner has for the site.
  24. Fortune
    It would be nice too see 10 Waterway, the residential high rise, or the planned hotel break ground. Or maybe the 40 story rumored commercial building. I believe there was even talk about Shell building a 45 story building.
  25. Fortune
    Looks like the second office building in this development will start construction this month. Sounds like it will be identical to the first office building. 8 stories 197,000 square feet. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2013/06/more-cranes-headed-for-the-woodlands.html
