Last I recall hearing was that it was dormant and they re-paved the block. Ok, in the January map they had the start date as 1Q 2017, so it looks like they bump it up every once in awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a guess of the year then look at this for the 51 percent urban on this chart. http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/world-population-by-year/ I would say 1980! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 All these areas are available for high rise development if I'm not mistaken, wouldn't it be great if they all happened we could have our mini version of Central Park.

HoustonIsHome Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm hoping to see some brand new proposals soon as quite a few of the buildings proposed in the last building cycle has been built/ under construction. The market isn't back yet for office and we have had so many wonderful conversions to hotel I think we due for some more residential towers as the Discovery Green and Root Square towers are getting off the ground the proposed list is getting slim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 3 hours ago, Timoric said: I read on here that Miami would pass Houston for number of skyscrapers, looks like that has happened now. Definition is 490 feet + https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/us-cities-with-the-most-skyscrapers.html Houston has at least 40 buildings at that height and above. As with many of these rankings, it depends on what you measure. Why 490 feet (150 Meters)? Why not 200 meters (656 feet)? If we use that as the cutoff, Miami has 4 buildings and Houston has 15.

Anyone else know of any properties around the bayou not included here? fullsizeoutput_2197 by David, on Flickr The lot on Jackson Hill is becoming an "Inner Loop City Centre" and the one off Gillette is the one by the Chinese developer that contains 3 towers I thought. Additionally, there was a tower just north of Spotts Park but I think it may have been placed on hold or cancelled entirely. Dunvaly and Dallas is Regent Square. The odd shaped one where KHOU used to be on Stanford has been bought by SCI and they may be expanding of some sort soon.

Luminare Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 So just some inside info. I'm hearing about a lot of contractors who are pushing architects who are then pushing clients to activate projects as soon as they can. Contractors are getting a bit spooked by the upcoming tariffs on steel and aluminum. While the market has been great and is asking for more construction, I think the upcoming tariffs are possibly pushing people into build mode now while costs are lower and the boom is on. What happens when the tariffs take full effect? Any buddies guess. I think we might experience a quick slow down, but will go to normal building mode afterwards. Anybody else been hearing the same kind of things? Anybody have an opinion about the tariffs and what that might do to the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Can't help to think that a lot of projects will be shelved for a while To see if the market can correct itself. If not, projects will be "adjusted". But, no way that tariffs like these will help the construction industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Not necessarily an "update", but Google just updated their maps. It now includes a lot of the recent developments that have happened in town over the past couple years. In particular its fun now seeing things like Mid Main and MATCH now officially in the satellite images. A lot of the stuff around Minute Maid park is also filled in. Seems like the images were taken this past summer. I'm assuming this is the case because, for example, the new urban HEB on Washington and Heights Blvd is just starting to have its foundation poured which happened earlier this summer.

rechlin Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Seems they haven't fully rolled out that new imagery yet. Google Earth is still not allowing dates after 10/2017 to be chosen, and in Google Maps for me, when the "globe" mode is turned off, it still only shows the 10/2017 imagery. With "globe" mode on, Google Maps still shows the even older, undated (but apparently late 2014 from construction status) imagery. Can you post a screenshot of the new imagery? As you can see, for me it's still showing the 10/2017 imagery (Midtown shown here), which has been online since at least this spring: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Does it seem fair to say we are in another real estate boom here? I remember a lot of forecast back in 2014 and 2015 (especially here at CBRE) saying 2019 was the big year for recovery in the Houston market ever since the downturn in the oil market. Those discussions are probably even in this forum. The development this time seems to be throughout the city. Downtown doesn't seem to be getting as much love but I'm sure the Downtown Living Initiative played a major role in that in the last boom. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if it was all roof top gardens then maybe. More like click the link. This is from a architecture visualization office. Notice the tag line about "digital storytelling". They exist to help put to page grand visions when they need to be farmed out to others out of office. Its pretty common actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would they be in y'alls opinion? Great question....so many to choose from. My favorites would be: 1 - TMC Research Campus 2 - Sears building conversion to Houston's Innovation District 3 - MFAH expansion project 4 - Cayden's 3 towers for midtown 5 - McNair mixed use at Post Oak & Richmond (former design by Munoz + Albin) 6 - Hanover mixed use at 3540 W. Dallas 7 - Block 58 - Hines 47 story office building on old Houston Chronicle site 8 - The Allen mixed use at Allen Pkwy & Gillette 9 - Capital Tower (hoping street interaction will be as good as advertised) 10 - HSPVA Honorable mentions: 3300 Main Block 42 - Hines 46 story residential tower The RO at West Alabama & Buffalo Speedway Equinox Hotel and the residential tower in ROD Medistar 48 story mixed use tower in the med center The Driscoll (Hanover) Hanover Post Oak 40 story residential at 1660 Post Oak Hanover River Oaks La Colombe d'Or Hotel in Montrose * Would love to see the Grocers Supply, 7200 Main and Kingwood Herons projects happen.....but unless I'm missing something (which is quite possible, if not straight up "probable"), it seems like none of these are realistic in terms of happening this year. That's my "10." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I agree pretty much fully with your post. However I'd put the KBR site by Midway in the top ten. Other than that its pretty much exactly what I'd put. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
