cspwal Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It's going to stay up - they figured having a tower crane permanently up next to GRB will make it look like Houston is always growing, even if nothing is happening 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for the updates. Nice images. The convention center looks amazing. There is such a presence in that overall space that is somewhat breathtaking install. Cant wait for the new plaza out front and all of the barriers and construction down and done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueContractor Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I would say that it is 50/50 it will go anytime soon. With the crane being removed it provides a sign that it might not happen any time soon. The hotel being built above will impact the tenants of the new office building. It was a challenging ground lease deal, we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Yippie! Houston First held a meeting yesterday where proposed hotels and restaurants were on the agenda. I wasn't able to make it. What were the other proposed retail and additional development? There are other meetings scheduled for this week too. I don't see anything about proposed hotels in that agenda. Edited March 8, 2016 by Houston19514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mab Posted March 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2016 Quote The Greater Houston Partnership soon will move from Allen Center to the new Partnership Tower, a 10-story office building under construction in downtown's convention district. The renderings above show the Partnership's new space. The 100,000-square-foot office building will also house Houston First, the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Houston-Harris County Sports Authority. Vaughn Construction is building the tower. DE Harvey Builders is the contractor on the Partnership's space. The building is under construction at 701 Avenida De Las Americas and will be connected by sky-bridge to the George R. Brown Convention Center. http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Greater-Houston-Partnership-reveals-sleek-office-6880729.php#photo-9581175 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 the bottom/west facing floor is being redone and will feature restaurants with patios and entertainment but not sure about the rest of the building...i would hope they do a little refreshing at least but haven't heard much about the inside of GRB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 GRB looks good as an overall product. For those of you who hated it before, I think this reno has made it all work. Now - I think it would be over the top great if it could have a green / grass roof. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
