Luminare Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) 8 hours ago, por favor gracias said: 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." Great list. Pretty much agree with it. However, some addendum's with explanation: 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 - Block 58 - Hines 47 story office building on old Houston Chronicle site + Block 42 - Hines 46 story residential tower 6 - Hanover mixed use at 3540 W. Dallas + The Allen mixed use at Allen Pkwy & Gillette (Allen Pkwy Major Developments) 7 - McNair mixed use at Post Oak & Richmond (former design by Munoz + Albin) 8 - KBR / East River Site 9 - Upper Kirby / Greenway Major Developments: The RO, Hanover Post Oak, etc... 10 - Major Infrastructure Overhauls: 59/45 Reconstruction + Downtown Greenbelt + Bayou Canal, The Blvd Project, Lower Westheimer Project, METRO Next (even though it leaves a lot to be desired. Its still something), HSR Station at Mall Site. Honorable Mentions: Westcreek Lane Major Developments: Hotel and Residential Tower ROD HSPVA Captial Tower 3rd Ward Major Developments Jones Plaza + Bagby Street Redevelopment Memorial Park Redevelopment Instant Top Ten if announced/revived/updated renders/boots on the ground: Post HTX Regent Square Grocery Supply Site For me, Projects that don't immediately have boots on the ground moving dirt fall in the list, for now. Projects like McNair, KBR, and the Allen Pkwy Major Developments fall short because they still haven't kicked off, but make the list due to future impact. This moves up Hines developments in town because they are hauling a$$. Yes, some of these infrastructure projects might not get fully off the ground or finish this year, but it can not be denied just how major these projects will be for the city and so they have to make the list. HSPVA and Capital Tower, while important completed projects, in a big potential development year like this will pale in comparison. However, I think we will see impact from this projects soon. 3rd Ward. Call it a hunch, but I think this district takes off in a profound way this and next year. Market forces seem to be pushing that way. Park development could jump into the list if we start seeing dirt moving. Both listed in Honorable have major impact potential. The final three, are the usual suspects, but all they need is a major update to jump back in. Its interesting thinking on all of these developments and you forget just how many high profile projects are about to go off. Just to many to potentially fit into a Top Ten. Really exciting. Its why I can justify lumping whole areas together because there is major concentrations of development happening everywhere right now. EDIT: I think what would be interesting is if someone had a smaller more local project in a top ten and can justify it. Not a skyscraper or massive site, but a smaller project that might be top ten worthy simply due to impact community wise.

I can't believe Post HTX and KBR/East River sites didn't come to mind for me, but you're right....there are so many justifiable candidates for this list. It's a very exciting time for our city, no doubt. I love how Houston has invested more and more into downtown over the last couple of decades. It's already a sea change in atmosphere since then, and it's only going to get better over time (at least for those of us who want a more urban atmosphere). Could not agree more with your take on McNair, KBR and Allen Pkwy developments, as well as HSPVA and Capital Tower. They made my list because I like their individual impacts downtown (again, hoping that the street/tunnel interaction is as good as advertised for the Capital Tower). I made my list based on the "criteria" of projects that have their own thread on this site, but I like how you alluded to lumping certain areas together. That allows for more room elsewhere for a seemingly more and more prestigious list by the day. Again....lots of deserving candidates. The 59 reconstruction project might have the biggest impact of all outside of TMC Research. It's going to have an enormous "trickle-down" impact on future development around the upcoming Innovation District and the Convention Center areas. Is the Pierce Elevated scheduled to be demolished? I sure hope so....excited to watch all of these projects unfold. Edited January 31, 2019 by por favor gracias 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those years and I thought I was the only one... I remember the building height stopped at 450 feet for Houston, but other cities had buildings listed at 400 ft. Not sure if it's still the case, but I always felt like despite Houston having the 3rd largest "list," we were being somewhat shafted by their seemingly subjective criteria.

jgriff Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 There is a seriously large amount of development going on right now. Multi family seems to be exploding. I’m almost worried that it’s a bubble. Oil hit $55 this week and people in the know seem to think it will keep rising for now. If we’re seeing this at $50-$55 Imagine if we get to $80 this year.

I can understand your position here, but an quickening pace of multifamily development doesn't mean a bubble. Not if we look at the numbers and context. I think the most obvious building bubble is China for instance. Lots of building and development, but very low occupancy rates, and once the buildings are built its hard for people to afford to move into them. If we look at Houston. Lots of building and development, but occupancy rates are very high nearly 95%, and people can afford to move into these new developments. A bubble happens when everything is produced due to speculation that a demand will happen. The opposite is true when everything is being produced due to real time demand. The fact that we are seeing massive developments getting the green light at $50 a barrel for oil shows how much more robust the Houston market has become when people only expected development to hit this city whenever oil was above $100 a barrel. Again, I understand your position. Its healthy skepticism, but the numbers just don't indicate as anything other than developers seeing a massive demand when occupancy rates are so high and people can afford to move into to new developments. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that if 50,000 of those buyers want urban experience - it is not a problem for a metro of 7 million and growing over 100K every year. Right? Speaking of housing... Now that was a bubble. Speculative demand and building practices + people not being able to afford them unless they picked up even more speculative and risky mortgages. Multi-family is a more sound investment because its not all your money on just one building for one family, but many many families in one building. I also don't forsee people taking out loans or putting down a mortgage for a lease on an apartment. An apartment (even in more expensive cities than Houston) is meant to be easier for entry than a single family house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a city that has a very high employment rate and a very low unemployment rate, thats pretty impressive. Even if it doesn't correlate 1:1, the fact that nearly everyone is employed means that if companies want to staff their jobs then they will advertise outside the city which will bring new people here knowing that the employment rate is high meaning the odds of getting a job of whatever kind will be high.

Houston’s unemployment rate is 4.1%, essentially the same as the U.S. as a whole at 4.0%. Would not say that’s “very low.” DFW added slightly more with 3.5%. Still the recovery from the mini-recession (and the fact that it was mini to begin with) is better than I would have ever guessed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midtown used to be a wasteland. Drove my daughters to the rodeo and was surprised at all the growth. Main St is (with a few interruptions) continuously developed to the 3800 block. Can't wait to see what the new high rises and the redevelopment of the old Sears is going to do. I believe population density within the Loop will hit record highs by 2020 census. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after this I'm going to restrict any change in the rankings until maybe 1 a week or every 2 weeks. That way it doesn't get crazy. With some much going on and things happening so quickly I decided to make a last minute change this one time. What do y'all think? Maybe it should be once a month? Anyway, changes were anything that is "happening" means its actually going on has been shifted to the top. I believe we should always maintain top rankings to active projects with momentum and boots on the ground. We just got a latest update that they are starting to gut the Sears building which moves it further up. Blocks 58 and soon 42 are happening. MFAH stays at number 4 because its in active construction. This means TMC3 moves to #5.
