800 Bell St. (Former Exxon Building) Conversion to Residential
thatguysly replied to TheNiche's topic in Downtown
Couldn't it be converted to affordable housing? So what if the ceilings aren't as high, it could still be a way for a different demographic to afford living downtown.- 690 replies

800 Bell St. (Former Exxon Building) Conversion to Residential
thatguysly replied to TheNiche's topic in Downtown
This building is an example of what is going to happen to a lot of buildings around town that are aging. The owners will have to find ways to adapt or there will just be old empty buildings from the 70s/80s that no one wants to rent.- 690 replies

From that view it looks almost the same height as Market Tower and that one is 40 floors. Not like there are elevation changes in Houston to account for.

I know it has to do with floor height but it is crazy to me how much shorter this look compared to the Travis and it being 2 stories less.

M Square: Mixed-Use Development At 3200 Post Oak Blvd.
thatguysly replied to editor's topic in Going Up!
Makes perfect sense. ON NPR yesterday, it mentioned that it looks like the lumber bubble may be busting and prices coming back down but that lumber prices are still 3x what they were a year ago. China is also releasing more metals into the market and that help other construction costs as well. Seems simple enough to wait a year or two and save millions. -
RIP Disco Kroger. It seems weird to build another Kroger in its spot with an additional element like residential. Its not like there is much room there to build a bigger Kroger and have parking.

The rest of the buildings are improved but I liked how the tallest tower was twisted and had more floors.- 1,657 replies

Aspire Post Oak: Multifamily High-Rise At 1616 Post Oak Blvd.
thatguysly replied to Mab's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I really want the east side to fill in now and create a cool canyon. I know it has been mentioned before, but these photos highlight how great it would look.- 1,031 replies

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
thatguysly replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
I guess I never wanted to live in Midtown. It does have some fun bars and a ton of townhomes. I just never rated it the same as other parts of the Loop.- 1,569 replies

M Square: Mixed-Use Development At 3200 Post Oak Blvd.
thatguysly replied to editor's topic in Going Up!
It is a delay at this point and not a cancelation like the Caydon stuff. I really think it has to do with construction prices. This should rebound with either changes or wait for prices to drop back to normal.- 624 replies

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
thatguysly replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
I just don't know as many people that want to live there compared to say Montrose, Rice Military, the Heights, Lower Heights, or EaDo. There just isn't anything to Midtown other than location. Places like EaDo, Montrose, and the Heights have a culture and vibe. It seems like Midtown has just existed and had some bars that were popular at one point.- 1,569 replies

I guess it is good they got one tower up before bailing. Maybe one day Midtown will fill in like we all expect but it is slowing pushed further to the future. Aside from COVID, I am sure the prices of wood and steel have made it that much more difficult. You will see more and more projects get scaled back, delayed, or cancelled (see McNair).

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
thatguysly replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Are they building a bridge over the water feature between the tunnels or will it be a culvert system? The rendering make me think culvert but that doesn't seem as hospitable to the ecosystem. -
Montrose Collective: Office Building With Retail At 888 Westheimer Rd.
thatguysly replied to trymahjong's topic in Montrose
I ate at Burger Joint Saturday and saw this for the first time in person. Having lived near there for 5 years and spending a lot of time at this intersection, I really love how this project fits into the neighborhood. I think they did a great good of building a midrise that really doesn't feel like it is taking over the area.- 981 replies

Less than two years from ground breaking to opening. I thought this went fast but that almost seems impossible with the size.

WestMont: Mixed-Use Development Coming To Montrose
thatguysly replied to groovehouse's topic in Going Up!
So weird to see it come down. Of all the projects where demo happens, this one hits home the most. While I won't miss it, I spent a lot of time in that Half Price Books and Specs.- 697 replies
