Texasota Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I meant the resi high rise + significant retail. I would prefer a different grocer. I wasn't being sarcastic. I think a Whole Foods in Midtown would make a lot of sense. But yes, this building, regardless of tenants, seems perfect for midtown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Where in Midtown? There aren't any lots wide enough, and for length, the City would have to agree to close another street and give it to the developer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well the building would certainly have to be smaller to fit midtown's smaller lots. This is definitely the *type* of building that should be built in midtown though. *actually, with the way it's elevated over its own parking lot, it could even span two blocks without closing the street, Wortham style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hmmm, from the ground floor plan it doesn't look like this has real sidewalks. That's terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motis B Totis Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Today I saw that behind the Nexen building they have plans on building another shopping center and it looks like Johnathan's The Rub is moving there! I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 http://houston.culturemap.com/news/real-estate/01-16-14-a-new-hotel-zaza-is-rising-in-houston-luxury-outpost-will-be-whole-foods-neighbor-in-snazzy-complex/ Hotel Zaza is a part of this development 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well that's pretty cool. Looks like this one is a serious proposal. So the total height of the complex is 19 floors? (12 story residential on top of 7 story podium) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonBoy Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Wait, is the Hotel Zaza the 4 story part only? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 i count 5 stories that would be the Hotel ZaZa, but yes, just the lower horizontal part thats above the 2 stories of retail. the high rise is a residential tower, and i still dont see where they are coming up with "12 floors" for the high rise, unless the top floors are penthouses with two floors.. i count 17-18 floors/balconies (kind of hard to tell if the top row is an 18th floor or just an overhang/roof for the balcony on floor 17 below) from the ground to the top floor.. whose math is wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexansFight Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 "The Houston-based real estate investment, development and management company said Friday that it has entered into negotiations with Z Resorts to build a Hotel ZaZa at Memorial City.Dallas-based Z Resorts LLC will operate and manage the luxury boutique hotel. Z Resorts also has Hotel ZaZa locations in Houston’s Museum District and Dallas.An unnamed source recently told CultureMap that MetroNational was planning a new mixed-use center anchored by a Hotel ZaZa and a Whole Foods at the southwest corner of Interstate 10 and Bunker Hill Road.Public documents show MetroNational recently filed a construction permit with the city of Houston valued at $1.8 million. The permit is for 963 Bunker Hill Road, which is at the southwest corner of I-10 and Bunker Hill. It’s also directly across I-10 from an H-E-B and a block east of Memorial City Mall.MetroNational's Friday news alert did not specify where the Hotel ZaZa at Memorial City might be built, and a spokesperson for the company was not immediately available."http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2014/01/17/metronational-to-bring-another-hotel.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubrt Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Something is under construction just south of this behind the office tower. I'm not sure if it is a parking garage or something else, but it doesn't seem related to this development. Anyone know about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
