The problem is everyone's going to get overcautious, which means no development, which means rents and home prices will zoom.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, since I think there's got to be one already. Swamplot mentions a shelved project that was going to take down the Georgian Apartments on Willowick may be still in the offing. It was supposed to be a 40-story development. I can't imagine it being anywhere close to starting, but it's apparently still alive, as the buyer has received an extension...

Sure, things look threatening now, but what would happen if oil went up to $200 a barrel?

"Before" wasn't so shabby, either.
I can remember back to 1977 when none of those buildings existed.

My problem is none of the real estate brokers in this town appear to have had to work hard to get tenants, and they've gotten soft and lazy.
Rumor has it that despite the apparent change of heart that two Fortune 500s had about moving to the Woodlands, there are still plenty of others looking to relocate from out of town. Have any of these developers like Crescent told them they have a building they'd quite like to lease up?

Nothing like being stuck in 610 track, eh, Cloud?

I think these developers are still sitting back and waiting for tenants to knock on the door. They need to face the fact that they will need to pound the pavement a little.

Well, that says a lot...
-
All they need to know is they can still get the same exorbitant rents they were planning to charge, even in this market.

I keep forgetting about this one, given the other buildings rising nearby. Good to see progress.

Wait a minute, I got it.....

Looks like it's 22 or 23 floors. That's about what it was before. But once again, presto change-o...

What a disappointment.

Boy, do I not want to drive a car into that!

Is that not the same render we've had for a bit now?
Swamplot says "more brick" (which must be the architectural equivalent of "more cowbell").

Frightened yet? It's like watching lava roll through one of those Italian towns on slopes of Vesuvius in 1944...

To be perfectly honest, while the canopy element was a neat piece it definitely wasn't going to be something you could defend easily in this design.
That said, it's turned into a bland box. Must be another casualty of inflation of labor and materials.

HBJ describes this as being near Rice University. It will cost about $49 million for the 269 units in the complex. Maybe one of our developer lurkers can tell us how big a building you get for $49 million.

Development List For Buildings In Houston
in Going Up!
Posted · Edited by toxtethogrady
I'm actually surprised at where Dallas-Fort Worth ranks. While active, the area has not seen anywhere near the highrise development that Houston has. Knowing that two-thirds of the new Houston projects are petrochemical plants, I have to suspect a large share of the Dallas-Fort Worth projects are also other than buildings. There's been a lot of work on the DFW freeways and it is continuing for another few years.
