TheNiche Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 If the plan to build a 200,000-sq.m. residential and commercial project on one third of the site at an investment of $550 million, What kind of project would this look like? High dense urban?Yes, this would be a very big project. One meter is just a little bit longer than 3 feet, so there are probably about 9.5 or 10 square feet per square meter. That comes to about 1.9 or 2 million square feet. That's a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Can someone point out on a map exactly where this is? I have never seen 9 acres of land near the Galleria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Can someone point out on a map exactly where this is? I have never seen 9 acres of land near the Galleria.Could it possibly be east of Loop 610? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I was a bit taken aback by the 9 acres statement. According to the article, it's RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, but I can't imagine where it could be aside from that behind the church. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwilson Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 could be on the north or east sides of the galleria. perhaps back by nordstrom, next to the water wall and across the street from the manhattan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 There is a large vacant peice of land south of Westheimer and Alabama where Alabama forks off. This is roughly across from the 5444 Westheimer building. I'm assuming that is where this would be. There is also a smaller parcel of vacant land adjacent to 5444 Westheimer, next to the CVS, but it isn't nine acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchitecturalPRGirl Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Are you saying they bought the whole shopping center and are building this development on the eastern end (1/3) of it?Yes it was Mason Jar. Wouldn't 9 acres be the whole center? I think there is still some property behind the restaurant no? Or does that belong to the office building?

Or does that belong to the office building?Yes, I would think 9 acres would be the whole center. Just wanted a little clarification. Hopefully, they would also remake the strip center into something more "urban-ish". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Windsor Plaza is actually about 12.5 acres. However, the corner lot next to Windsor is 5.5 acres, and the empty lot directly north of it, on Post Oak is about 3.5 acres, totalling about 9 acres. It appears that all of the land south of Manhattan to Richmond, with the exception of some of the pond, was part of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avabamse Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 HD - just to understand if this development has any connection / relation to the post that I had about a possible 66-story tower in the Uptown area. I was told by the new chamber of commerce director about this, which I would assume would be a highly credible source. Yet, I have not seen any additional info on this board or elsewhere. You obviously are in the know / inside - any comments or thoughts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchitecturalPRGirl Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I just heard the latest info on this project. The developer wants to do a large, high-end condominium project, not a mixed-use, with a huge spa/wellness facility. It sounds pretty amazing. They are currently meeting with architects.
