lockmat Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Maybe Randall is just there for the money and not involved in design? He's not even listed as part of the team: http://dcpartnersusa.com/our-team/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect, the name of the company is not "Davis Contreras Partners." The company is named "DC Partners". Do you have first-hand knowledge that the D in DC Partners, stands for Davis?

Interesting. Thank you. But it's from Transwestern, not from DC Partners or Randall Davis, so not quite conclusive.

Popular Post rechlin Posted March 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2019 From the article: Quote Construction on The Allen — a condo, hotel, office and retail project lined up for a six-acre tract off Allen Parkway — could start next month. A filing on Texas' licensing and regulation website lists an April 15 construction start date. Houston-based DC Partners along with Tianqing Real Estate Development LLC — the U.S. subsidiary of China-based Tianqing Group Real Estate Co. Ltd. — are developing the project at 1711 Allen Parkway. In 2017, the New York-based luxury chain Thompson Hotels joined the mix. DC Partners President Roberto Contreras told the Houston Business Journal in 2016 the mixed-use project would have an estimated $500 million price tag. The state filing lists a $105 million construction cost for a scope of work that includes the new hotel, condo building, restaurants, retail, parking garage, ballroom and pool deck. It shows St. Louis-based architecture firm HOK as the design firm. A DC Partners spokeswoman said the sales gallery for The Residences at The Allen was under construction and a project update as well as new renderings would be available in the coming weeks. In December 2018, Swamplot reported concrete had been poured at the construction site near Gillette Street. The Allen will be less than a mile away from the new Houston Ismaili Center set for the corner of Allen Parkway and Montrose. And in January, a developer asked the city planning commission for variances for another proposed mixed-use project near Allen Parkway and Shepherd Drive. Plans showed a hotel, residential component, office building with two floors of coworking space, retail space, activity lawn and plaza. Meanwhile, Melbourne, Australia-based Caydon just released details on what else is in store for its three-block development in Midtown, across from Midtown Park. Along with the 27-story high-rise under construction at 2850 Fannin, Caydon is planning three more apartment high-rise towers, a condo project and a boutique hotel in a mixed-use development called Laneways. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJilliams Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) I'm skeptical of construction starting next month, but it would be great if work actually kicked off before summer. The other lingering question: when will we see those updated renderings? Edited March 22, 2019 by CaptainJilliams misspelling 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 One of the things I love about Houston is how dated even recent photos are due to the non-stop construction. For example, Midtown construction. As the saying goes: if you haven't been to Houston in the last five years, you haven't been to Houston. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonMan Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 With the exception of Marlowe downtown, every RD project had been a complete departure from the initial rendering. The Allen is a beautiful mixed-use development In the marketing material. . . I fear it will end up a half-stucco disappointment like Arabella and Astoria before all is said and done. But who knows, maybe Mr Davis has turned a corner. We’ll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
