    They're keeping a portion of the park.

    expect construction to begin on two hughes landing as soon as one hughes landing reaches 50% leased which should happen very soon.

    i'm really not the person to ask to be honest with you... i'd venture to guess that theNiche could provide a much more educated answer. i do think you are starting to see a bigger push to develop surface lots, though, particualrly in the east side near the convention center especially now w the development incentive the downtown district is providing for residential. as for the tearing down of "historic" buildings, that simply comes down to their ability to be repurposed in a cost effective manner (duh).

    i've heard this one is dead.

    i like it. absolute shocker that misterx is critical of it... he's such an unbiased poster usually.

    don julio's didn't last bc it was garbage tex-mex in a city full of great tex-mex. feast's biggest problem was its accessibility, not so much in terms of the food but in the actual ability to access the restaurant... it literally had no parking and and no driveway, which meant sitting on westheimer waiting for valet. that doesn't fly, especially in houston. even a modest area to pull into off the street like dolce vita or indika would've worked wonders.

    what's included in the next phase? more apartments/retail i'm assuming?

    Midway is planning on redeveloping the current Levey Park on Richmond between Eastside and Wakeforest into a mini CityCentre-type development that will include a 16-story office, lofts, retail and a park. i've heard additional development is possible as well. renderings should be floating around soon i'm sure.

    This thread is asinine... As TxDave said, these are hardly apt comparisons.

    I could tell you but I won't... Lets see your detective skllls Btw they have no track record of development bc they've never developed anything.

    At this price I assure you it is not a land hold.
  13. swtsig
    how so?
  14. swtsig
    just noticed something in the rendering... what are those "box office" looking structures in front of the GRB? it looks like they are placed in the middle of the street and that the street has been turned into a pedestrian promenade of sorts. has that been part of the convention districts plan?

    from what i've been told the hotel/condo plans are not set in stone.

    18 stories, approx. 400K sf with ground level retail, looks remarkably similar to BBVA on post oak.

    and maybe they can redo shepherd between washington and 59 next... that stretch is almost worse.

    mods, this thread should probably be combined w the 3333 Richmond thread.
  19. swtsig
    Yes.

    no details other than it is/was planned mixed-use. another developer has a multi-phase office-heavy mixed-use (how's that for hyphen usage!) development planned further east on richmond as well.

    There are redevelopment plans for the NWC of Richmond and buffalo speedway although I heard they recently stalled.

    I alluded to this in the 2929 Wesleyan thread but now that bisnow referenced it this morning I figured it was ok to talk about. PM is redeveloping the solvay site by tearing down the existing bldg and replacing it w a hotel/condo and building a 20 story office next door. I can't confirm much re the hotel but it sounds like the office is moving forward and would assume the hotel is as well. Don't expect anything earth shattering architecturally speaking. Should be a nice addition regardless. There are a few more projects proposed in the immediate area as well, some further along than others, but 3333 sounds like the closest thing to a guarantee.

    well whaddya know... they are impressively tall, no doubt about that. i've always wondered if they ever contemplated making one massive 80 story tower as opposed to two 40 story ones.
  24. swtsig
    pretty sure four leaf is 35 a pop but i could be wrong... in terms of floor count i do believe 2929 Weslayan will take claim to tallest.

    it's gonna be a straightup PAR-TAY in atx this weekend... formula 1 brings in a very, very jetset crowd. kinda wish i was going.
