arche_757 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Developers sometimes get a long-term approach that you don't see for corporate built-to-suit. Remember when BG Group tower was built? Right in the thick of the big recession, and Hines did not delay the project. Many people thought that tower would sit empty for a long time. Similar thing for the Hess tower. Right. I'd suspect it may get delayed, but who knows who/what Trammell Crow is marketing this building to? I'll say that *IF* prices stay low for the next few years places like Uptown and Downtown should be ok - the Westchase and Energy Corridor areas will not be ok.

jmitch94 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 IF this were to get built, that portion of post oak would be very developed. It would almost look like a downtown from the street level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 ^^^ sorry, but the TALLER the better in my view. why on earth, would they dare design a small tower upon such an iconic site at that particular block? the buildings are indeed very nice.... they just need to much much taller.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 What is going on with these 1960 townhomes directly on Post Oak Boulevard? I wonder if it's coveted land or something? Surely a wealthy individual could buy them out for $100 million? Perfect location for a new Uptown skyscraper that would continue the "donut curve" of Post Oak. Might as well develop Post Oak Corner too! A few photos I took last weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 yeah always wondered the same although they definitely made it look better when the Post Oak Blvd transformation happened. it sits out of place on a street that has so much grand scale development (apart from the mcdonalds ;) ) and don't even get me started on Post Oak Corner ;) i will say that i know of a restauranteur that wanted to take over the long abandoned bank building at the edge of Post Oak Corner but they turned him down for a 10 year lease...so not sure what in the heck is going on with that darn thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
