Caribomoa Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 On 8/3/2023 at 10:57 AM, asubrt said: Pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point, but looks like ROD Phase II/Equinox Hotel aren’t happening, at least not any time soon. That land now has for sale signs up on the fence In a turn of events, it appears Fertitta just bought this lot. So the possibility for phase II is back on the board now. the Equinox Hotel won’t happen though. That brand failed nationally. Covid finished it. It ended up being a one location hotel in NYC 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Site visit today. I haven't taken any photographs of the two vacant parcels in a few years. I'm sure something tall will go here. It will, however, take a few years to plan out. I'd love to have a mixed-use tower. A single tower containing office, apartments, residences, and retail. Vacant lot a long Westcreek Lane. Vacant lot a long Westheimer Road. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted Monday at 11:18 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:18 AM (edited) On 4/17/2024 at 4:12 PM, IntheKnowHouston said: Tilman Fertitta recently acquired the 4702 Westheimer Rd and 0 Westcreek Lane parcels, according to Houston Chronicle today: Fertitta announced Wednesday he closed on a 3.4-acre site at 4702 Westheimer, near his newly purchased River Oaks District... The parcel’s proximity to River Oaks District could create future expansion opportunities for the upscale mixed-use development he bought in March for $450 million. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/tilman-fertitta-buys-uptown-river-oaks-post-oak-19408478.php In the latest Realty New Report newsletter, Ralph Bivens speculates what Tilman Fertitta may have in mind for the 3.4-acre property at 4702 Westheimer Rd: Fertitta bought 3.4 acres at 4702 Westheimer, next to the River Oaks District... This parcel may become the site of the first urban casino to be built in Texas in the last century or so. Combining the upscale retail and restaurants at the River Oaks District with an adjacent casino hotel sounds a revenue-generating slam dunk... If casino gaming is ever approved in Texas, Fertitta appears to be shovel-ready for a casino on Westheimer and perhaps on waterfront sites in Kemah and Galveston, as well.

I really don't want a casino there. I love casinos, and visit Vegas with some regularity. I would do anything to get them in Texas. But not there. A casino in Houston should be a destination journey/event. Kemah, Galveston, the old Dome... something that says "adventure". Not on Westheimer, 1/2 mile from the Loop. Just my .02. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
