On a side note, that old warehouse would make an awesome shell for a commercial redevelopment, perfect for the UHD crowd. Throw in a coffee shop, bar, maybe small food court...

Yes, it most certainly would....

who is the developer for this site?

I'm pretty sure ZC also designed Highland Tower and 2727 Kirby....among others

it seems many of the trees are planned to remain and there's a generous pedestrian zone at the SW corner

Almost up to Level 3 on blocks B & C

It's the block between Tangley, Dunstan, Morningside and Kelvin - the half East of Local, Benjy's and Kelvin Arms.

@lockmat

it is looking West

aerial of development...footings in progress and several weeks away from back-filling retaining walls on Block C.

view looking North

Thanks, Nate99

Trammel Crow appears serious about plans for new GRB hotel downtown.  New rendering below, multi-family speculated for block north of hotel.  Does anybody have specifics about the hotel?

Info of the BLOCK 265 Tower

http://www.emporis.c...m/bu/?id=138414

Wondering why Block 265 is at Dallas & Bagby but the rendering posted by Urbanizer shows it a block south of Pennzoil...

Nvm, found this early rendering a page back on this thread:

Situated so close to the parking garage feels awkward to me, especially since the two structures don't relate architecturally. But the parking is probably more efficient as shown :/

Have renderings of the new stadium been released yet? I read that it will be similar to Allianz Arena...?

An appropriate moniker for the rendered building would be Two-Face. Or maybe that's just me...

250 units is not a lot and could easily fit in a mid-rise. Though, I think pushing the building higer would help to enhance the Greenway Plaza epicenter. And, who knows, may inspire someone to resurrect the Greenway movie theater.

It's going to be an 8-story mixed-use wrap with about 325 residential units. Good density for this area.

I agree, for a modest mid-rise it will be a nice addition to this area. Though, I think high-rise would be a difficult fit and tough transitioning the scale of the adjacent landmarks...namely, the church.

Looks promising!

I really like that they are using the shell of the existing structure at the southeast corner of the site. Any idea what the program of that space will be?

all the way to Westheimer. It will dwarf the West Ave masterplan.

@swtsig

Yes.

@Fortune

Too early to tell; Architect has not yet been selected. Broadly speaking, it will be a residential mixed-use development - mid-rise, possibly a high-rise component.

Definitely a watered down version of the Studio Gang's Aqua Tower (pun intended), but grateful for a step in the right direction for Houston.

Look for Hines to develop the super block just east of this project - surrounded by W Alabama/Westheimer and Buffalo Speedway/private street just east of St. Luke's Methodist Church.

Another high-rise alternative to 2016 Main and Houston House would be nice.

@lockmat

The smaller structure adjacent could be the parking garage. Assuming a garage serving 400 units, the parking could fit in a 6-8 story standalone garage depending on the footprint - some above and some below grade parking.

Would like to see the retail wrap more of the block, though. For example, it's commendable that One Park Place included a Phoenicia.

Looking forward to the site specific renderings.
