What an upgrade this would be.  Let's keep this momentum going!

I'm not @brijonmang but I thought this was a cool shot

 

 

HAHA! I don't wish that on anyone! Thanks again for all the updates!

I've recently come across a Youtube channel called The B1M which is more of a construction showcase than documentary or urbanism focused resource.  It is really well done though and they shed some light on cool projects that I haven't even heard about from time to time.

I have AT&T as well and I live in a total dead spot.  I-10 and hwy 6...you'd think that would be a dense enough area but apparently not.  I also have trouble in Cinco Ranch (out there for work all the time) but I think it has gotten better over time.

I'm late to finding this topic but this has some similarities to the Legacy Hall concept in Frisco, TX.  My brother lives a block away from it so we went there back in January, very cool spot!  It's A-framed like this building and has three floors...first floor is a food hall with restaurants lining the outer perimeter, second floor has more seating, a couple bar areas and the third floor is a brewery/restaurant.  There is also an outdoor stage for live music and performances and you can view it from the second and third floors.  I'm excited for this to open now, it should be a pretty popular venue if done right.

That commentator that said Post Oak was to be the Grandest in America, seems to have been a prophet, so many going up

Sounds like Monarch/gclass...

I’m trying really hard to be excited for it, but it’s just not doing anything for me. I know it’s better than an empty lot, and it’ll try to engage the ground level and have great amenities. But I worry this is the last large office tower we may be seeing in awhile, and I feel like this design is a missed opportunity. 

I think the renderings given so far don't do the best at making this building look as refined as it will be when built.  I was recently shown a closer and more detailed rendering and I think this building is going to look great when finished.  Very excited to see it go up.

That would be both hilarious and sad if they demo that great looking church for a parking garage.

Maybe it's just the closest major street intersection and the actual site that is in question is the current surface lot along Jackson Street between Texas and Capitol.

This thing's gonna end up being a Mattress Firm when it's all said and done.

Don't even put that out into the universe

According to January’s Downtown TIRZ meeting, this project, Block 98 and Block 114 are still being planned. No update as to when they’ll actually break ground.

I don't know much about this project but block 98 is still scheduled to kick off later this year.

Hmmm that garage has great potential...I'll have to make a visit once it's done.

Most excellent.  Can't wait to watch it go up.  I have a feeling this one will look better in person than in the renderings.

I honestly hope they take down the wrapped rope lights on the arches....it was "fun" for Christmas but i think its kinda of chintzy for the rest of the year... 

 

Would be kind of cool though if those were perforations in the metal and the arches were illuminated by LEDs from the inside.  You could have some cool effects.

lol what's the fourth cluster? 

I was thinking Greenway but I guess you could argue for Memorial City/Greenspoint....I just wouldn't really put them up there.

Is there a web cam for this project yet?

When was the last time we had an active link for a webcam on a project here in town? I feel like it's been a long time.

do not know about hanover but given their bullish attitude towards houston lately it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

 

metlife/hines have long held on to the vacant lot directly north of Hanover PO 1 and will almost assuredly kick something off sooner rather than later.

Thank you for weighing in. Interesting info about that other lot.  Will be watching the site here when things ultimately start getting announced.

I am hearing that there is a proposed Hanover Post Oak phase 3 building...do any other industry folks know much about this?
