fernz Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 A few more short years and they will start building out the interior. What do folks think this project will do to the apartment rental market in 2020 when it opens?LOL! This does seem to be the slowest project out there.

swtsig Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 i'm sort of baffled that GID hasn't acted with more urgency on this project (as a whole i mean). houston is experiencing an economic and population boom unlike ever before yet they've sat and sat on this project with hardly any progress save for this apartment project. what's truly baffling is that this area is in the early stages of a development boom between 22 Waugh, Hines San Felipe office project and several other unannounced office and mixed-use developments in the immediate vicinity. being first to market typical helps a great deal and these guys are getting lapped by everyone.

Impotence? Stupidity? Special circumstances? Reworking the plans to make the plan bigger?It's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pragmatist Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It's odd to think that this project broke ground in August 2012 and still has a pretty long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonBoy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Looking at the bigger picture, when will ALL of regent square break ground/be completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think Regent Square will be the best urban development of all the ones going up in Houston. The reason I say this is because the development mixes in with what is already there, it doesn't have parking lots around it like BLVD place and many of the others. This will just be a part of the city that you can walk directly to from the street and not have to pass through a parking lot to get to it.

I hope you are younger than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The director of design for GID will be speaking in Sugar Land in a couple of weeks. Someone should go and ask him what the deal is. http://www.sugarlandtx.gov/index.aspx?NID=1190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They learned the hard way with the initial year downs years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I emailed someone involved with phase II and they expect it to be open before end of 2015. Also, their news release last year said it would break ground end of 2013, so it seems they're just a bit behind schedule. Most likely they're just trying to finish with The Sovereign first, that's my thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick Vik Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Comcast is wiring allen house for cable and internet. What's the point if they are planning on tearing them down? Maybe a change in plans, or longer delay than scheduled? Or just a way to appease residents before the inevitable teardown? Hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Great shot! Another good view is coming back over Memorial Drive on Waugh heading south from Washington Avenue. There's a nice cluster developing with AIG and its group of office buildings, the Condo with the crown and now the Sovereign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
