I’m a little confused by all the Phase I/Phase II talk.  I’m assuming Phase I is The Sovereign and Phase II is everything else, yes?  If so, I see three new high rise residential towers coming.  One at Tirrell and W Dallas, one directly south of The Sovereign and one just southwest of The Sovereign.  In addition, there will be a high rise hotel at Dunlavy and Allen Pkwy a mid rise office tower at Tirrell and Allen Pkwy, and low rise residential and entertainment over the rest of the site.  Based on the renderings, the development could be truly spectacular, — a slam dunk — especially being nestled next to the new Buffalo Bayou Park.  It just needs to get done........

What I was told (a long time ago), was that Phase I was The Sovereign and Phase II was the tower next to the Sovereign.

Hmm from the rendering it makes it look like its right next door to the Sovereign yet they say this is at the corner of W. Dallas and Dunlavy.

Agreed.

I believe that rendering is Phase II, next door to The Sovereign. 

That is the crane that was being used on the Sovereign before the tower crane was erected. I believe it is now being used for loading items that are constructed and moved to the Sovereign site.

As far as what is being built there, I think that is just a mock-up for the outside finishing of the Sovereign.

It's The Sovereign

I just happened to be there last night for service.

I snapped a picture with my phone , so the quality isn't great.

edited, sorry. see above, correct now, right?

That's correct. That is an empty lot, and Allen House Apartments.

The block is bordered on the South with town homes and on the southeast by The Piedmont.

It was always supposed be part of phase 2 of Regent, but my guess is that they reversed the phases.

editing....

That's between Rochow and Dunlavy.

Where did you hear about that location?

The 8 JE Dunn trailers have been there for awhile. They moved all the trailers out last week and left an empty lot. I talked to one of the people that were moving out and they said a high rise was coming, but had no further information.

It's for The Sovereign aka The Horizon ---> http://www.houstonar...post__p__397497

Thanks.

So, this is going on W. Dallas between Rosine and Rochow?

Wow, that is directly across the street from me, Not sure what to think about that.

Regent’s Square Project is set to make big announcement in May; rumors are that a high rise residential being planned as first building

Hopefully there is some truth to the new developments.

I have noticed the employees at the JE Dunn offices located on the corner of Rochow and West Dallas are moving out.

Looking like 2012...

From Culture Map

I received this email from an assistant VP at JE Dunn this morning.

It was in response to a question on if the project is still happening.

"Off site utility work is scheduled to begin late summer or early fall of this year. The main project is schedule for late summer or early fall of next year. The country's banking situation is to blame for the delays to date. Hopefully things will continue to improve allowing the project may start sooner than later (maybe second quarter of 2010)."

Found a rendering:

What I was told is that the Rochow trailer park is the management office and that 1203 Dunlavy is the construction/hiring office.

The management office seems fully staffed and is buzzing with activity everyday.

Agreed, I did notice that 8 JEDunn construction trailers were placed right across the street.

Not sure I'd want to look at those everyday.

Why do you think they did not buy the 3 sets of townhomes here:

Do you think it good or bad for those owners?
