Mr.Clean19 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Would be great if a large university from outside of Houston partnered with these guys to make a technical school for Engineering or Medical. The north side of houston could really develop around this area and support it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Clean19 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Not sure if this belongs here but somewhat tied to Generation Park....

Urbannizer Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/10/24/first-apartments-nearly-complete-in-massive-mixed.html By year’s end, residents will be able to move into a new multifamily building under construction in Generation Park, Houston-based McCord Development's 4,000-acre project in northeast Houston. McCord Development President Ryan McCord said the apartment building, dubbed 255 Assay Street Luxury Apartments, is set to wrap up construction in December. 255 Assay was built in Redemption Square, which is already home to an office building at 250 Assay Street. The office building’s tenants include McCord, Apache Industrial Services and Global Tubing LLC. In June, Wholesome Kitchen and Wholesome Pies opened joint restaurants at 250 Assay. Redemption Square is a 52-acre mixed-use district within Generation Park, which is bisected by Beltway 8 in northeast Houston. In addition to the existing office building and apartments underway, Redemption Square is expected to include hotels, restaurants, shops and more in a walkable lifestyle district. McCord said that once construction is complete on 255 Assay, his company will shift its focus to developing two additional multifamily projects in Generation Park. The first is another Class A apartment building that McCord said will closely resemble 255 Assay. That project is scheduled to break ground in the second quarter of 2020. A third apartment building is also in the design stage, McCord said. That building will offer apartments at a lower price point as a way to capitalize on the Ikea distribution center set to open on a 117.4-acre tract the Netherlands-based furniture company purchased from McCord Development last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Luminare Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 Decided to take a look to see what this area is like in 2020. Went here and The Grid just to see the two approaches in this early stage. While its still too early to tell which of these will be successful in the long run, it was interesting to see both initial approaches to development. While The Grids initial approach left me wanting, and disappointed, Redemption Square at Generation Park left me impressed and hopeful for the future. I got the sense even though this was only just a couple buildings that they have an clear mission in what they want to do, and are pursuing that mission from the start. While this initally will probably make it feel empty in the beginning because its trying to establish itself as something different, like CityCentre (which also started slow), as it adds layers it will start to become a destination for the area and be seen as something different and unique. Here are pics from trip out there (pardon the darkness of the photos. taken with my camera and didn't have time to edit them): The Square itself felt like a place already. Looking forward to this being fleshed out with retail and seeing people use it. Especially with it being set in the middle of nowhere it was nice to be contained in an enclosed environment: Even the Courtland Marriott which is normally a symbol of suburban development is being incorporated into an urban square setting which was interesting. It proved to me that they are really trying to put effort into developing this as a concept: Then there is the first residential development for this site. The entire bottom portion that faces the square will have ground floor retail. It will take awhile for it to fill out, but once it does it will be very nice. The scale was good, and the building felt like something of quality while I was there. Apparently its near completion and has already started leasing: The office building really came out nice as well: They are setting up fencing for the next phase I think: Further down the main road from Redemption Square is construction for the San Jacinto Campus: Thats about it. Though small right now, its a great start. From aerials on google maps you just don't get that sense that anything has happened here yet, but once you take a look for yourself it does feel like an actual place with a lot of potential. I can't say the same thus far for The Grid. To find out what I said about that development then go to that thread. Redemption Square is staying true to their mission, and feels like they are in this for the long haul and want to get it done right. Looking forward to what evolves out of this in the future. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Clean19 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Great overview. The potential for this development is staggering. The owners are sticking with the plan and avoiding compromising the plan for cheap / quick gains. They are expecting another 600+ homes built between Balmoral and the Groves per year in the area. Along with Apartment, you could expect a population increase of ~25k over the next 5 years just adjacent to this property. You have a lot of good things going for this area, but like you said, the perception is that this is in the middle of nowhere. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmancuso Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It IS in the middle of nowhere. I live in Kingwood and take the beltway to Clear Lake and pass this along the way and it's pretty isolated. It probably won't be in 5-10 years but in the meantime, it's setting is pretty remote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not cutting edge and very far from bleeding edge, but its the overall goal, the vision, the mission that they are getting right. If they can get that right then cool design stuff can happen later. It would be wise for use to moderate our expectations in that way. The only thing we can do is hold them up to the standards they set for themselves. If you are going to pitch urban mixed-use cores then build them. I don't even mind if you also cater to the suburban crowd as long as it doesn't sacrifice from the overall mission. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Houston developer buys land from Exelon to expand 4,000-acre development https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2020/05/18/mccord-generation-park-exelon-land-acquisition.html Quote Houston-based McCord Development Inc. purchased 201.19 acres of land to expand its 4,000-acre Generation Park development. The seller was Exelon Generation Company LLC, part of Chicago-based energy provider Exelon Corp. (Nasdaq: EXC). Cushman & Wakefield brokers David Cook, Jeff Peden and Scott Miller as well as Cresa Global Inc. brokers Will Condrey, Kayla Black and Ben Sample represented Exelon, according to a press release from Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK). The value of the deal was not disclosed, but the Harris County Appraisal District valued the land at nearly $3.54 million as of Jan. 1, unchanged from a year earlier. The deal closed in December, according to HCAD. Expansion is limited in many directions due to parks and other natural preserves as well as the Summerwood community to the north. The additional land will allow McCord to expand the western portion of Generation Park, per the release. “While most of this acquisition is for commercial use, a sizeable portion will be used for enhancing the quality of life we provide our clients by becoming part of our upcoming trail and park network connecting each region of Generation Park,” Ryan McCord, president of McCord Development, said in the release. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Clean19 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Correct. I think it is 160 acres. Probably about 80-100 full time jobs. Still with the amount of land they have available here, adding 250 acres adds ~10% to their land... and its on the side of the property that will be built first. This would be a fantastic place for Elon to move his HQ along with manufacturing. There is ample space and growing real estate/schools/technical resources.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
