    The cascading mini water falls leading into the bayou is pretty cool.

    So in 50 years if/when they have to tear down and rebuild, most likely there won’t be available land. I wonder what they’ll do, where they’ll go.

    Excellent addition to the night scene for downtown.

    He said he is better than 70% sure Houston will be one of the 16 U.S. cities selected to host games that year, whittled down from a shortlist of 23 cities released a few weeks ago. The city will get between four and seven games over a 30-day period, he said — 60 games overall will be held in the United States. Houston is also being considered as a hub for officials during the games. The 16 cities will likely be named in 2021. In Houston’s favor for World Cup 2026 selection are the in-place infrastructure — NRG Stadium, systems in place to shuttle visitors between the game and activities, hotels, etc.; our history of hosting major sporting events (in the last 2.5 years alone we’ve had Copa America, the Final Four and the Super Bowl); the international airports; the training venues and stadiums; and diversity. Plus we have an extra little nudge no one else got — the final United Bid was curated in Houston prior to being submitted to FIFA. All 23 teams from around North America flew into the Bayou City and strategized how the bid would be structured and submitted.Read more at: https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/economic-development/houston-likely-to-host-world-cup-2026-games-what-thatll-mean-for-cre-90108?utm_source=CopyShare&utm_medium=Browser

    Is her her land one of the pieces we already knew the Australian developer was building on?

    So the height and elevation are in reference to the crane, correct?

    I'd be shocked if Houston didn't get chosen.

    I think we have a really good chance considering the size of our city, UH dorms nearby and our history of hosting other major soccer events.

    Oh ok, thanks. It's just been so long they felt new to me all over again, especially the ones of the back of the office building.

    Lower resolution but I feel like we haven't seen some of these angles from the backside, maybe we have. http://julianmunozarchitect.blogspot.com/2014/06/perennial-hotel-residences.html

    I was just thinking before you wrote this that if these had any architectural significance they probably wouldn't make these changes. Because they are so 80's, it gives them an opportunity like this to jazz 'em up.

    They're essentially public buildings in the commons spaces right now. You can walk building to building via the skywalks without employee access, so my guess it would remain the same.

    I got your back bro, great find If this is implemented as-is, it will garner a lot of national attention. For those of you on a cell phone, this is viewed much better on a desktop, especially for reading the text.

    Its Tanglewood who owns it, I think HCAD records show they’ve owned it for decades. But yeah you have the right place . http://www.tanglewoodcorp.com/

    But I wonder how many of these are investor purchases and will be rented out anyway.

    One day this shopping center will be redeveloped, so we may as well start this thread now. My guess is they will hold out until there is very little or no other places to redevelop along Post Oak. As of now, HCAD lists the the property valuation at $101 million. By comparison, an undeveloped block in the heart of downtown is $25 mil. Capitol Tower is listed as $125 mil. I can only imagine what they'll have to build to meet the land's value. As mentioned in the Galleria Green Space thread I started, I hope it includes a park. My personal dream is a north/south rectangular park abutting Post Oak about the same width as the parking lot, and maybe 1/2 to 3/4 the length, with highrises abutting directly up to a tree-lined walking path that runs along the edge of the park. The car entrances could be via an alley on the east side of the buildings. 20 years and another one or two cycles away?

    How long does the one-story building on the NW corner of Buffalo Speedway and Richmond survive before a developer snatches it up?
  18. lockmat
    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it just sort of an empty plaza/stairwell?
  19. lockmat
    I can't see many people getting excited about this, but it's a little somethin'... http://ucr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Wells-Fargo-Plaza-Retail-brochure.pdf

    I doubt there's any new information here, but CBRE is marketing the property now. Flyer: http://ucr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Fairview-District-Brochure.pdf

    What is down leasing? Lowering the rates? The CBRE shows of a few things that are somewhat ambiguous to me and interesting things already pointed out by others. It says there are four emerging food halls downtown. I know of two, are there others we know of? Forever 21 doesn't look like they're renewing their lease or the tapas restaurant across from HoB Looks like they're the old bookstore spot is exclusively being marketed as a gym, it's just a matter of who. http://ucr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/greenstreet-property-flyer-053018.pdf

    What's kinda tacky to me is putting HOF plaques in a severely under-performing outdoor mall.

    Let the one-upping BEGIN!

    wasnt the last wave the first time that more urban type projects were widely built? So maybe now there is more confidence they’ll succeed in Houston? i don’t know, just throwing something out there.
