Not to be argumentative, but I think that there are still a ton of positive things happening, despite low oil prices.

 

I am hoping Capital Tower gets built still. 6 Houston center & International Tower (1 Market Square) seem dead.

Skanska will build their building, because they have the capital; it will just be a waiting game.  Don't give up on 6HC, remember they were going to go spec in the summer.  Although not many, there are still a couple 300k RSF + tenants in the market right now.  My bet is these tenants will cut a deal to renew where they are, but you really never know how aggressive JLL may be to get the deal done.  6HC probably missed the wave, but don't rule them out just yet, because their ARE tenants still looking.

International Tower is dead, and has been for some time now.

The Chronicle building is on sale, and will be demolished.

They're pouring right now.

I would imagine that the Mayor and her team require all new construction along the Dallas corridor to have retail.  I don't know which lot was sold, but i CAN rule out block 251.  I recently had the conversation with an anonymous source that the owner rejected an offer of $450/SF; which is unheard of for land sales.

Williams tower is classic Hines and a timeless building, no one argues that. Amegy's building will be a very modern Hines development that aesthetically will be different than other buildings on the West Loop. I believe it will really stick out when heading southbound on 610, but again this is just my opinion.

Although the rendering has yet to be released, I will echo what others have said on this forum. This will be the best looking building on the west loop, and is the dream team for Dev/architect/GC. I've been told from an anonymous source that the construction will commence the beginning of December. It will be an outstanding addition to the surrounding area.

Live, Work, Play.  CBD, Galleria/West Loop, Bltwy 8/I-10, future PMRG development at former Exxon Chemical at Highway 6.  Incredible

BG quotes $36/SF on a 'net' basis.  When factoring in Operating expenses, the building is just over $50 'gross'.  Some are projecting the building will quote $40-42 Net, which will be a record for Houston.

Crane is going up.  The area is getting dense with tower cranes.

It really is 20 floors, I will try and get my hands on a rendering.

I will try and find out more information, and report my findings.

Many apologies, I was replying to the post prior to mine about Camden. It was off-topic and my post does not relate to this discussion.

It was right at 20 stories and the design reminded me a lot of the Marquette multi-family project. Camden's is more rounded at the top, but very similar. Sorry for posting off topic.

I saw the updated renderings for Camden's project a few weeks back. This forum will love it.

I think what you may see is a mini-condo boom downtown in the upcoming years.  Right now, it still isn't an easy sell to buyers to move when there is such a lack of retail and street level activity.  Once all the rental units deliver, retail will pour back into the CBD, and it will demonstrate that downtown is a living, dining, and playing destination.  Then I think Condo-developers will head to the drawing boards, because there is less risk and the area is proven.  Maybe I'm alone on this one, but that's how I see the process playing out.

Per the 609 main construction cam, the parking lot is currently being excavated.
