    I can imagine when the RE team goes in front of the capex committee to request additional funds for the redesign: "I know we are billions of dollars over budget on other projects, but we really need more money on this one, the haifers don't like the design!"

    I dont necessarily like it, but it will fit well whithin its context. It does look better than the original drawings though.

    Looks like a retirement home, not an office building

    The buildings are OK; still, it's one of the best developments outside the loop, IMO. There are better looking buildings, but this will create a nice campus and view from the freeway.

    All I can say is that it's an executive based in the woodlands, with strong connections to local businesses. She did say it's the rumor on the street, no confirmed sources.
  6. fernz
    That's the one

    Just heard a rumor that they're exploring canceling the tower, and instead building a campus just North of The Woodlands, in a large tract of land that recently changed hands. Supposedly, Chevron is still evaluating both options.

    Hey, everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Many people actually like those buildings, after all, they sold out pretty quickly.
  9. fernz
    Yes...actually, both to the North and South. They're Randall Davis' at its worse, in my opinion.
  10. fernz
    Can't look any worse than its next-door neighboors, right? Right?

    Does this project really have a residential component as mentioned in the title?
  12. fernz
    Or maybe they shoudl just turn it into a surface parking lot.

    BBVA Compass Plaza includes 3 lots - two lots with Post Oak frontage, and one lot between these two and the midrise apartments to the West. The BBVA Compass tower (south lot) was phase 1; phase 2 (north lot) was originally planned to be a hotel that would be built at the same time as the office tower- and phase 3 (west lot) was never defined, it would be whatever the market called for. Since phase 2 apparently includes hotel, and since phase 1 is still about 30% vacant, my guess is that phase 3 is still an undetermined future development. The only option I see for upcoming development is for a higher-end hotel (maybe Ritz Carlton) that would not directly compete with a lesser quality hotel in the mixed use phase 2.... Or phase 2 is only apartments, then phase 3 can be any hotel.

    Looks to me like something that belongs in the Memorial City complex. I can imagine it with blue lights at the top.

    It must be for an overhead protection over the new sidewalk, very common for high rise construction.
  21. fernz
    Exactly! The view was ruined anyway when all those signs were added.
  22. fernz
    Did he say if the new buildings will be as beautiful as the ones they did across the freeway?
  23. fernz
    Not good
  24. fernz
    The large lease before selling was actually by the buyer.
  25. fernz
    So will be traffic on Post Oak
