wxman Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 My mother was telling me the other day that the four black buildings at the corner of Timberloch Place and Grogans Mill we be torn down within the next three years to make way for bigger office buildings. She went on to say that once her companies lease is up, it will not be renewed and no new leases will be signed from here on out. Does anybody have any inside info. other than this? I think they are taking this whole "Downtown Woodlands" thing a bit far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 That is the first time I've heard anything new on these properties. However, the value of office space in Town Center coupled with demand could certainly make this location ideal for larger developments. I wonder if they are still owned by the development company or have been sold. One piece of art has been moved to Six Pines from the median of Grogan's Mill in front of these buildings. Wulfe owns a parcel intended for retail across Grogan's Mill as well. I hope the properties are not going retail. The master plan for Town Center has office structures allocated for these sites.Keep us posted. I'll start asking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 do you know if pm realty owns the property and/or the buildings?I asked her who owned the property and she couldn't remember right off hand. I'll ask one of the ladies she works with.It's these four buildings right here. My mother's is the top left.http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=s&lat=30.15...71461&mag=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekDweller Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Are those the buildings with the mirrored glass that sort of "blend in" to the trees? I've always liked those (unobtrusive architecture at its best) and they're not very old? I had a job interview in one of them once and they looked like they'd been built some time in the '80s.

Yeah, I think they were built in the 80s. The land has since been zoned for highrises and that's what looks like is going there. Space in the town center is quickly becoming limited. These buildings are to be razed in Dec. of 09'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I can assure you it's real. My mothers place of work is currently looking to relocate...and quick. As stated before, no new leases are being signed for these four office buildings.

bachanon Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 i wonder if "b" office space is in demand or if it will be "a". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 It appears that any plans for this site are on hold. My mother's company got word that they will now renew their lease for the next couple of years. I'll keep updating this as I know more. I wonder if it was the economy? I know the local economy is booming. The Woodlands Town Center can't build enough office space. Also, speaking of which, why are they building so many mid-rises? The Town Center could easily support 15 and 20 story office towers...not that I'd want that, but a couple more would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this same area what are they doing currently in the median of Grogan's Mill at Woodlands Parkway? They are removing the hill signage. In general-Is there a town center plan available online. What is the name of the original designer hired by Mitchell? I have been pleased with most of the development at town center. Not knowing what will replace the glass building still makes me worry.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
