Mine of the best features of a city like London is that it is awash w parks, many quite large, that make enjoying and traversing the city quite spectacular. Houston, especially central Houston, lacks natural reprieves from the concrete... I fully support surrounding downtown w a green oasis.

chase is only 1.65m sf currently designed, this project will span both blocks with a common amenity deck. Office about 15 stories and mf about 30-35. i'm sure that's subject to change, though.

Montrose Collective: Office Building With Retail At 888 Westheimer Rd.
swtsig replied to trymahjong's topic in Montrose
2 or 3 floors of office over 2 floors of retail. CBRE will be leasing the project. Excellent addition to the neighborhood. As @CREguy13 said it will be very well received. Very distinctive.- 981 replies

there's no real classification system for office properties - it's all marketing more or less. AA/A+ is commonly used for the newest asset classes, though.

Iconia Hard Rock Houston: Hotel & Condominiums At 3500 Sage Rd.
swtsig replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
part of the benefit of memorial park now falling under the uptown TIRZ (i believe that's the correct authority) will include much better bike and pedestrian connectivity from uptown to memorial park. i'd assume bike sharing would be a part of that plan.- 121 replies

man houston has really come up the last few years if this is what passes as a "shit sandwich" nowadays. i would've killed @CREguy13 for consistent mf projects like this 5-6 years ago. carry on.

The Galleria Mall At 5085 Westheimer Rd.
swtsig replied to TreaderCRC's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
they were in talks on a very large scale redevelopment in the immediate area, very very early stages though. no clue of its current status. -
i count 33 as well but the top floor of the podium and the penthouse floors look to be double height so this should have the scale of a 35-story tower, give or take. although i still preferred the original jenga-style design, this turned out better than what i was expecting. fences are up so hopefully they break ground soon.

Regent Square: Mixed-Use On Allen Parkway At Dunlavy St.
swtsig replied to Travel_n_Transport's topic in Going Up!
it's not bad... certainly better than nothing. one has to assume they're saving the park facing portion for at least a couple of high rises.- 1,531 replies

Hines To Developed Wood Office Buildings In Houston
swtsig replied to H-Town Man's topic in General Houston Discussions
my guess is that Hines and Rice will consider timber for their Ion innovation district development in Midtown. the functionality and aesthetics of timber would interact well with the scope and location of that development.- 14 replies

Received confirmation that the distinctive “twist” in the hotel/condo design has been done away with. Another classic bait bait and switch... Yay houston developers!

i think the phrase "beginning phase of developing" implies they're still in the conceptual phase.

I heard that Hines let the contract expire for this site so this may be conceptual renderings from a new developer. I doubt they're from Hines as this isn't an architect they'd likely use nor would they do all condo. just my educated guess on the last two points.

before everyone gets all excited the mayors office already came out and said there are no current plans for the city to help bring an amusement park to town, only that the mayor would welcome a private developer to do so.

this matches what i was told well over a year ago that midway had acquired the site where andes cafe was located with the intent on building a midrise MF project with GFR. the appreciation of land prices and rental rates in EaDo has been nothing short of spectacular.

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
swtsig replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
midway backed off of the sakowitz site, at least they had as of a few months ago. -
but that's not what they're referring to when they say phase I and II. The initial phase of the development was the hotel and apt tower. Phase I as they are referring to it here is for a 500,000 SF medical office on top of 1700 parking spaces. Depending on floor plates that's about 19-20 stories of office on top of another 6-8 stories of garage plus a floor of retail. Due to the balconies you can see quite clearly that the residential high-rise units are situated above the office component. My guess is they'll wait to see how their office leasing velocity is during pre-development while at the same time gauging the multifamily or condo market and make a determination from there. if they think they can lease 1M SF of office or actually get the preleasing they'll build more office and less residential.
