That tall white building is the Huntington former home of Enron CEO Ken Lay. Also I agree with the pace of high-rise construction in the Loop. The Inner Loop is morphing into a Manhattan District & these are exciting times to be a Houstonian. I liken it to being a New Yorker in the Twenties and Thirties. Witnessing their city growing into greatness.

I passed this project earlier today and was quite impressed at the speed it's going up. I like the eclectic mix of structures in the neighborhood, a boxing facility, a small Prairie Style old school apartment complex, both across the street. As well the Toyota Center within walking distance. Now let's hope Camden has the area trending for similar vertical residential projects.

Finally The Shops have come out of it's Rip Van Winkle coma.Someone whispered in their ears that 8,000 people live downtown now. With more coming next year. This looks great and hopefully some soft apparel retail will follow, it's a good beginning.

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
Moderators replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
A magnificent project and it took Australians to see the potential of Midtown. Now maybe the local developers will stop hem hawing, saying should we build or should we not. Perhaps the Hines (who should be the front-runner in developing Midtown) & The Fingers, Farbs, Randall Davis.Should get out there and beat the Aussies at they're own game. If they do, Midtown in a few years will be awesome.- 1,569 replies

George R. Brown Convention Center Redevelopment, Office Building & W Hotel
Moderators replied to Sunstar's topic in Going Up!
More likely it will be the Market Square District but you must consider the lack of space there. The only large plots available are the Chase bank drive-thru & the Old Post Office. I'm inclined to believe these blocks will eventually have skyscrapers built. HEB is currently building out their Buffalo Heights store, which is only a few minutes away down Washington Ave.The GRB/Eado area can use a high profile supermarket. I've got nothing against Kroger, the Cullen and I believe at Polk store is a dump. It's also too far, HEB would be a great fit for the GRB Discovery Green/Eado district. -
George R. Brown Convention Center Redevelopment, Office Building & W Hotel
Moderators replied to Sunstar's topic in Going Up!
With the success of Phonecia near Discovery Green in One Park Place I'm certain Scott McClellum of HEB has plans on the table to bring his Central Market or HEB Market concepts to the GRB Area. With City Hall approving the W Hotel project,that alone will supercharge retail in the district. He's probably willing to partner with a residential developer who would look to add a retail component too. -
George R. Brown Convention Center Redevelopment, Office Building & W Hotel
Moderators replied to Sunstar's topic in Going Up!
Also by the time this W is completed the population downtown would have passed the 10,000 mark. The hotel knows this also they're looking at the big picture. That area will one day give the Uptown Post Oak district a run for it's money. -
Thanks I was browsing through the condensed format and didn't pay attention to the title, The Men's Center has another recent addition completed about 5 years ago. Quite a building boom going on with them.

Thanks for the shout-out concerning the duplicate thread, considered it done.This Roof Top movie concept is a great addition to the Galleria District's overall reputation for being a global destination. With I Pic cemented in the River Oaks District and the old veteran Edmund Cinema in nearby Greenway Plaza. The area get's a variety of movie theater options.As I said before.. that's pretty cool.

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
Moderators replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
It's great that the developer understand the need to add wide canopies encompassing the entire block.This allows a greater street presence and pedestrian friendly experience.Like the Rice Lofts Downtown the block by default becomes a magnetic draw, people just want to be there.This project will create the same synergy for Midtown,as in the old saying if you build it they will come. I can visualize the crowded street scene there.- 1,569 replies

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
Moderators replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
Unfortunately,we live in a copycat world.I prefer to focus on the impact of a major highrise addition to midtown. It's well overdue ,this building may well trigger other similar projects.Boring in appearance that it is,the one thing it will be .Is the pioneer of a vertical Manhattan style skyline.- 1,569 replies

Make sense with ESPN and the media needing spaces for all the equipment vans. Along with personal vehicles.Midtown park will be channeling its inner '30 Rock' during the Superbowl week.- 1,569 replies
