editor Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Maybe we should come up with our own district map.I approve of the previously-mentioned "Surface Parking District."I'd like to add the "Can Smell The Bayou From Here District."The "Lots Of Restaurants But Only Between 11am and 4pm District"The "No Starbucks For Miles District"and the "Supposed To Be Hip Living But Really Just Nasty And Old Musty Warehouse District."

Pumapayam Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 and the "Supposed To Be Hip Living But Really Just Nasty And Old Musty Warehouse District."And to think I was SO close to buying one of those too, glad I was not alone with that thought!

ChannelTwoNews Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess this was Hanover's 55-story residential proposal... si or no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avabamse Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Since I'm the person who posted this thread originally, I will say that I have not heard anything new as I have not spoken to my contact to this information. While I am not familiar with the Hanover 55-story tower, this could be the same deal. The person who told me about this 66-story tower is in charge of the Galleria Area Chamber of Commerce and he was specific with his information. Also, he was not trying to overly sell the area as his statement was rather matter-of-fact (in the context of BLVD Place). Unfortunately, when I was told this info, it was not an opportunity to dig deeper with questions and I have not had the opportunity to talk with him since. So let the killing, speculating or ignoring begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinite_jim Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Is this the same bldg project planned for the future expansion at the Galleria?Word on the street is that when Dillards lease is up they are going to demo the bldg and start Galleria VI (or whatever phase they're on to now) and build a high rise residential (comparable in height to the williams tower) with retail components at the base.any truth to this?

But nobody said anything about height being similar to Williams Tower, and I'd cast serious doubt on any rumors to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdig Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I believe rumor is true. I have heard that its a Ritz Carlton hotel w/ condos on the top and its part of the BLVD place development. I heard 60 stories not 66. This is in addition to Hanover's apartment tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I think its a waste for Macy's to have 2 locations in the Galleria. Dillards or another department store shold move in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Dillard's is already across the street. I think a Bloomingdales would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonfella Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Bloomingdale's would be great. However, didn't Dallas get one and it folded? They probably won't come back to Texas anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 How much business does that Dillard's do verses how much that land is worth to make it worth while? You would think Dillards would have moved into the galleria proper. I actually expected Macy's to close one of it's stores and Dillard's move in, that would have made much more sense. Or at least have the decency to build a sky walk to keep the pedestrians from playing Russian roulette on Post Oak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonhino Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Bloomingdale's would be great. However, didn't Dallas get one and it folded? They probably won't come back to Texas anytime soon.Barney's new york used to be in both houston and dallas, and folded some time ago, then they came back with a co op here and a new york in dallas. I heard botega veneta used to be in the galleria left and came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Bloomingdale's would be great. However, didn't Dallas get one and it folded? They probably won't come back to Texas anytime soon.Well, Bloomingdales is apart of the Macy's Corp., so I think putting one in the Galleria could be easy. I am not sure about the Dallas one.And Dillard's looks so isolated from the rest of the mall. Why haven't they got around to connecting the two? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston-development Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 hanover's tower will most likely be less than 50 floors and look just like riverway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
