The pdf file has 6 Houston Center listed as "Under Construction" and Victory Tower in Dallas as "In Design", both have been cancelled, for about a year now.

Golyadkin Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 One foot? That doesn't actually mean a building will be one foot from the street, does it? It must mean the landscape or something. Ask him to scan and put the copy online. lol. As I was reading though this thread, I saw this, and was getting ready to post the pictures here. Glad I kept reading. I found this site about an hour ago, and the two threads I've read so far have had quotes from me from SSP. As with BLVD Place, I live across the street from this site, so as soon as anything interesting happens there, I'll let you guys know.

Lighter Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I am hearing some rumbling rumors that something going to start on this site soon. Could be wishful thinking, but the rumor mill says that it has financing and a tenant. Does anyone have anything to add to the rumor mill?

Could be wishful thinking, but the rumor mill says that it has financing and a tenant. Does anyone have anything to add to the rumor mill? if you're talking office tenant i can think of at least one major company that is looking in the area but don't have any real specifics as to where they'll end up, although i'm fairly certain they've had a site selected for at least a few months. are you perhaps thinking of redstones proposed 2nd houstonian office building? i heard very recently that they do have a lead tenant and that it is a go.

Golyadkin Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 You can check the "Perennial - Post Oak topic for the more recent updates on the 2200 Post Oak site.Most recent update is that the owners of the site filed some paperwork with the city to allow the building line to be closer to the road than normal regulations would allow. That was right at the turn of the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swtsig Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 http://blogs.chron.com/primeproperty/2011/04/bbva_to_consolidate_offices_in.html i initially thought they (BBVA) were going into redstone's proposed 2nd tower at the houstonian but thought even then i was likely mistaken. no word on the rest of the mixed-use development. and if i were a betting man i'd expect another large tower announcement on post oak in the near future. i've also heard not to hold your breath on skanska... feel free to merge with the other thread(s) on this topic. just thought it was worth a new one.

KinkaidAlum Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am confused by this... I am assuming this will be the office tower portion of Redstone's mixed-use proposal? Or, has Redstone dumped their plans for hotel, condo, and office space and settled on just another boxy office tower with a large parking garage?As for Skanska's project, I've heard that they've received very little interest in their proposal. While it's a highly visible location, I don't believe it has feeder access which is a killer for a freeway fronted tower... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Bizjournals.com/Houston: The 20-story building is part of a redevelopment that is expected to include a second office building, a hotel with residences and parking garages.Read more: BBVA Compass to anchor new Galleria-area office tower | Houston Business Journal Read here: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2011/04/13/bbva.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago this topic would have already been on it's second or third page.ha, i'm definitely pumped about this development, especially because my office is on Post Oak. However, I would really like to see some mixed use IN downtown or closer to downtown, like Regent Square. With the rails being delayed, this area will need tons of mixed use to become somewhat walkable. However, if this thing went up in downtown, which is already walkable, it would be much more interesting, to me at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 yeah, i thought the exact same thing... strange to see such little activity. this is the type of news this board used to eat up.It may be just me, but I've become a lot more weary on anything going up these days. You can call it the recession blues, because I won't be excited until I see the movement of mass people and dirt. There seems to have been waay to many let downs among projects in Houston in the past few years and I think it might have gotten to people's architectural spirit.I do however see the potential for this building to wake people up and restore some optimism. These days I am just lacking that optimism when I see a rendering and am told/read it's going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It's nothing out of the ordinary. A 20 story building will be less than spectacular in a sea of skyscrapers on Post Oak. I think the forum is 'dying' simply because we are all tired of these fabulous renderings that come out and ultimately the project gets cancelled or the rendering is scaled down considerably. As much as I like Dallas, I hate that when they propose something, 90% of the time, they break ground and build it. Their uptown is booming right now---evidence by the numerous of cranes on their skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condo/office vacancy in that part of Dallas is high, due to the speculative building that they do there. In Houston, there does not seem to be as much speculation. Oh, and Dallas has zoning. That's the only spot in Dallas where highrises can go up (for the most part). In Houston, buildings go up all over the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish there was a way to improve Houston's image as a clean, fun, cosmopolitan town. When people think of Houston, IMO, they think dirty, trashy, boring, congested and the delicate flower step child. When people think Dallas, IMO, they think glitzy, trendy and relatively clean. Anyway back to the building, I think it's okay, just nothing spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago this topic would have already been on it's second or third page.I think that one of the problems is that there are three seperate topics out there that, from what I can tell, are all bout the same project. BBVA, The Perennial, and 2200 Post Oak. Put them together and you probably have 3 pages worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) What the hell is so exciting about Dallas anyway? It has bigger Jumbotrons? It's a lot more boring than Houston. It's dirty and trashy too. Try driving around east, south, and west Dallas or anywhere outside that 1 square mile radius just north of downtown. BTW, there are more cranes in the Texas Medical Center in Houston than uptown Dallas right now. Parts of Houston are booming just as much as anywhere else in the country including Dallas.THERE! I SAID IT. The reason this forum is so quiet right now is that everyone has become jaded by watching all the cool proposals fall by the wayside. When things pick up again, this forum will spring back to life. Edited April 15, 2011 by Coaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
