TheNiche Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Woodlands Development plans to break ground next month on 4 Waterway Square, a nine-story, 216,000-square-foot office building at the northwest corner of Woodloch Forest and the Woodlands Waterway. http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto...2.html?page=2#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 they've been clearing recently. lockmat asked about the lot in another thread. you scooped me niche. i love it! building looks cool. i can watch it go up from my perch at 24 waterway. this is next door, technically, to us oncology at woodloch forest and timberloch. i'm confused. the northwest corner of woodloch forest and the woodlands waterway itself already contains two class a buildings. gonna have to drive by today and check it out. i think the article is incorrect on the location description. OH! that's 4 "waterway square". this is across the waterway from the aforementioned buildings. still within my viewing range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Why didn't they just say the southwest corner of Lake Robbins and Woodloch forest?Does this leave any more room to build anything else on this land bound by Woodlock forest, Lake Robbins, Waterway Ave and the Waterway? (way too many waterways)http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=U...mp;t=h&z=18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 yes, there is room for at least one more midrise and some retail around the parking garages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm a little surprised they're not going taller w/ these new buildings. Maybe the plots of land near Woodlands Parkway will get them when it's their turn to be developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 evidently, the demand is not there to justify the greater expense of a taller building. i'm anxious to see what will happen with the office buildings that are being torn down for new development at grogan's mill and timberloch. i hope it isn't street front retail. that would be one more kick in the pants (pants being the original idea of the woodlands). once retail fronts grogan's mill, near woodlands parkway........the dream is officially over for me. nondescript intersections are what makes the woodlands what it is. passing that intersection with a starbucks or mcdonalds visible........it becomes any other intersection. they've already moved a significant piece of art from that area. does the rendering of 4 waterway square have a curved facade? i like that.

The Great Hizzy! Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Are there height restrictions (as part of deed restrictions) placed on certain pieces of property within The Woodlands? Maybe that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of room there. With the strain in class A space that guy in the article mentioned, I wonder how fast they'll start moving on them?

bachanon Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 NICE! btw, new 300 plus unit apartment complex about to go up at waterway avenue & timberloch. hubbel & hudson is open at 24 waterway and is uber cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoneybangbang Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 In the updated rendering is that, what looks like a tall condo tower, real or just a filler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 In the updated rendering is that, what looks like a tall condo tower, real or just a filler?No, that's the 20-story condo tower planned. I thought they had already started construction, but that was a 9-story one going up. I passed by Market Street two days ago and they already have beems sticking out of the ground for the new hotel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/s...png\\sorry waxman, the buildings under construction are the 1900 car garage with retail and the 9 story office building at 4 waterway square. neither the condo tower, nor the hotel are under construction.the 390 plus apartment complex at six pines & waterway avenue; however, has a construction fence around it and will commence soon.

photolitherland Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I was in the Woodlands over Christmas and its looking damn sexy. Just about 10 years ago there was nothing out there but urban sprawl banal crap but its turning into quite a nice dense little area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 4 Waterway Square just got a new tenant, Benchmark Hospitality Internationalhttp://www.bisnow.com/houston_commercial_real_estate_news_story.php?p=8271Also, I never noticed the little brown building to the left of 4 waterway. Looks somewhat dissapointing to me. You can see it better here: http://www.thewoodlands-commercial.com/featured_property.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 In the big rendering, look behind 4 waterway. That currently is an open lot between the new garage and this new 9-story midrise. It looks like another midrise is going to go in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 You know, a lot of people in this city need to get a grip. The Woodlands is not that far. From the Pierce Elevated to the Woodlands Parkway is 28 miles. Thousands commute every day. In other cities, they commute further than that. I'm so sick of hearing the pissing and moaning of a 30 min. drive. Man that gets under my skin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august948 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I just dont get why all the way out there?Get used to it. As transportation costs go up and infrastructure doesn't keep pace, companies are going to decide to move where the workers are (and where the company decision makers live).

mfastx Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The simple reason this development is "way out there" is because of urban sprawl. Better get used to it, because that is what Houston is. Years and years ago, the Galleria was "way out there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better get used to it, because that is what Houston is. Years and years ago, the Galleria was "way out there."Also, it's the only way the Houston area can survive anyway.
