hindesky Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Kanau Sushi, the concept from Mike Lim (formerly Tobiuo), is now in its soft-opening phase at Drewery Place in Midtown (2850 Fannin St.). A full opening is set for January 4. Kanau offers contemporary Japanese food with table-side preparations and omakase options. Look for uni flights, “the tuna breakdown” in which Lim will cut a tuna into multiple dishes for guests, and French-infused cold dishes. It’ll be open from 4 to 10 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. https://kanausushi.com 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is new news, but it's a good reassurance that they're still planning to build the other towers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 390' going off of the massing chart, so it should be pretty substantial in comparison to the surrounding area. It will eventually be dwarfed by the 3 others towers in this development if I got my expectations in check, to bad this part was shrunk due to what I suspect is a horrible period for hotels. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there really been that much of a slow-down?

It seems like we've had projects starting up pretty regularly all through the pandemic. A number of projects that were originally going to start a year ago have been pushed to this year. TMC3, this building, and one might expect East River would have started last year if market conditions were better. Also the Madison Marquette building on Jensen seems to have been a casualty of the pandemic. Then you have some downtown hotel projects in limbo, like the Moxy and the W. Nonetheless, I will admit that the market is weathering this better than I expected. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_757 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I’d say there has most certainly been a slowdown. It’s not like the city was experiencing a boom prior to the pandemic. Perhaps it’s just from my experience within my own office, which has seen layoffs and countless projects either canceled or postponed. There were a number of foreign backed preliminary developments that just vanished. Future work getting pulled out from under you is doom for an architectural office. Maybe you’ve been busy? I have not. I know that is the case for a large number of design firms. Seeing these bigger projects that were paused for almost a year come back online gives me confidence -and hope- that we will continue to see new development. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Caydon-launches-Melbourne-inspired-condo-tower-in-15884504.php Melbourne-based Caydon is moving ahead with the second phase of its Laneways development in Midtown with the launch of the Fitzroy Residences, a 32-story tower at 2701 Main St. that will bring 191 condo units and a 190-room boutique hotel by Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. The project, announced in March 2019, is tentatively slated to break ground across from Midtown Park this summer and could be completed by the end of 2023, according to Caydon. The company is opening a sales office after delaying the launch due to COVID. The groundbreaking was initially set for early 2020. Caydon's first U.S. project, the 27-story Drewery Place apartments with ground-floor retail, opened in 2019. Named for the alleyways lined with cafes, restaurants, shops and street art in urban Melbourne, Laneways will contain 2.5 million square feet in five buildings on three city blocks bordered by Main, Fannin, Tuam and McGowan. "We’ve already had a successful sales period during our friends and family phase, which has proven there’s a demand for more attainable luxury condos in Midtown, as well as those interested in locating from the outer suburbs into larger units and wanting to live in hybrid building that offers a resort-style lifestyle," Emma Alexander, Caydon's director of sales and marketing and acting COO, said in an email. The project, which is being marketed by Jacob Sudhoff, CEO of Douglas Elliman Texas, is on the Metro Rail line between downtown Houston and the Texas Medical Center along the emerging Innovation Corridor. It will contain 16 studios, 128 one-bedroom homes from 630 to 1,099 square feet, 86 two-bedroom units from 1,107 to 2,167 square feet and four three-bedroom penthouses from 1,686 to 2,243 square feet. Planned amenities include coworking spaces, a meditation room, yoga and fitness deck, two outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, concierge service, catering kitchen and dining facilities. Kimpton will operate a restaurant on the ground floor and a pool bar on the podium level. The 558,056-square-foot building will be north of Drewery Place, 2850 Fannin. Hotel rooms will be on floors 10 through 18, above the lobby, five levels of parking, and three floors of condo and hotel amenities. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
