The Post Oak, Tilman Fertitta’s game changing vertical mixed-use development, poured concrete Friday. We sat down with Tilman (right) and Landry’s SVP of development Jeff Cantwell over some Popeye’s (he might be one of Houston’s top five richest real estate moguls, but he says fancy executive lunches just aren’t his style), where he told us he’s launching Houston’s first vertical mixed-use hotel/office/multifamily/retail/restaurant development “because I could.” He says the project won’t be replicated anytime soon here because the numbers don’t pencil out, but he hopes that a decade from now, people will look back and say The Post Oak really changed Houston’s high-end multi-use development scene. This rendering is actually outdated; the team has added one story to the tower.

He’s especially excited about the 250-key hotel, which he says will be by far the nicest in Houston and will command the highest ADR. It’ll be the metro’s first five-fixture hotel (each bathroom will have two sinks, separate toilet room, separate bath and shower, plus floor-to-ceiling marble).

The 140k SF of boutique office (he's bulked it up) will be really special, Tilman tells us, including nice executive parking. Its services will be huge, including Bentley pickup service at the airport or five-star hotel room service for your late-night meeting.

The 36-story, 680k SF tower will open in fall 2017.

Ferris Bueller, you're my hero.

I mean, is this guy serious? For all the Tilman haters out there, you gotta give it to this guy, he's got that weird thing that some people are born with, like Howard Hughes, Puff Daddy, Henry Ford, Carl Icahn.

Absolutely zero ***** given for what anyone else says or thinks, or what the market is doing. Just, they want to do something so they do it, true mavericks who leave their mark on this world.

I read that that Starbucks was going to be some kind of unique mega-starbucks, some kind of tourist attraction, can anyone who's been inside confirm this?

Why settle for either extreme?

The models in all the adds at ROD will look better in a $200 suit from the Men's Warehouse than most consumers will look in a really expensive suit from ROD.

No reason to cheap out at walmart or overspend at ROD. plenty of quality can be found in the middle ground.

But $200 tee shirts and $300 jeans is just silly. looking at you vince.

Beautiful! The graffiti in the background makes it look more urban.

Oh my, I'm gushing over here.

Those sidewalks are great, they're reminiscent of the Post sidewalks, just need some shade trees, awnings and gfr.

There's no way they keep those price points, wishful thinking maybe.

Great 2nd post, area.

I think in the time it took Novare to toss this building up, Block 334 put up three floors worth of insulation.

The real reason the person you're describing wouldn't buy one of these units is because they probably live in Dallas.

Check, mate?

this would look awesome in downtown.

Uptown would look awesome in downtown.

people go to flying saucer for the food?

That's like Michael Berry going to the gay bar "for the beer."

Wow, from that angle it looks like we are taller than the lyric center and Calpine!

This building is making my dreams come true, it's finally stretching the skyline past Texas Commerce Tower!

So damn sexy. I want to take this behind the middle school gym and get it pregnant.

Wtf.

Here we GO!

lol until the houston economy gets better we arent seeing no 100 story building. cmon lol

Yeah, I think that's pretty much the plan. Who said they were breaking ground tomorrow?
