Talbot Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hey, those are some nice twin towers. Thanks for sharing. I guess they don't have a start date yet, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I imagine the total project, if it were built, wouldn't be cheap, as it appears they'd have to nearly rebuild (or build) an island to facilitate the two buildings. Cool looking project, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.S.O.N. Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I wish something like this could be done across the bay on Pelican Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 "Jennings Island Development represents a unique opportunity to create a world class waterfront residential high-rise project. The twin towers are positioned on the peninsula to capture the commanding views of both Clear Lake and Galveston Bay. Fashioned in a nautical expression, the two towers are designed with the sleek shapes of an elegant yacht.The timeless architectural expression also breaks the building down into a distinctive base, middle and top. The building skin is crafted of glass, metal and architectural precast to give the building a strong, youthful architectural expression. The lower levels of the tower overlook the lush pool and garden area on top of a two level garage. Amenities for the project also include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a clubroom, bar, 24-hour security, infinity edge pool and garden terrace with outdoor cabanas and entertainment spaces. Within each unit, the residences are appointed with 10 foot ceilings, luxurious master baths and kitchens detailed with stone countertops. All the cabinets will be European-style wood veneer with complementary granite and marble countertops. Each unit will also feature fireplaces in each living room and large, sweeping terraces to enjoy the outdoor sea breezes of Galveston Bay and Clear Lake." Jennings Island So Endevor's advertisement is a bit questionitable... "Only Waterfront Luxury Living". I like the way it looks, who knows, maybe one day Clear Lake will look like Long Beach.

houston-development Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i think this is the same deal as discussed in the hbj article from may 19thlinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 so, both projects are by endeavor holdings? EDI designed endeavor condos & Ziegler Cooper are designing Jenning's Island.i thought that since endeavor condo sales were going so well this project held some promise.

TheNiche Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 i think this is the same deal as discussed in the hbj article from may 19thlinkyNope. According to that article, the site that Endeavor Holdings purchased was the Marker 1 Marina at 3101 Nasa Parkway. Keymap 620N. Jennings Island is somewhere in keymap 620P, T, or U.EDIT: I was wrong here. Read the next few posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Endeavour Holdings Inc. broke ground last month on the firm's first high-rise residential building -- which also happens to be the first high-rise condominium tower on Clear Lake (endeavor condos). Things now are going so well that two more waterfront residential towers are already in the works (jennings island). And Endeavour has gotten into the marina business with a specialty partner to boot (marina niche is talking about). it sounds to me like it is referring to jennings island, as well as endeavor condos and the marina. am i wrong?

And Endeavour has gotten into the marina business with a specialty partner to boot (marina niche is talking about). it sounds to me like it is referring to jennings island, as well as endeavor condos and the marina. am i wrong?You're half-way right, bach.In sort of a departure for Sun Resorts, the firm transferred ownership of the older Parkside Marina to a newly created partnership for redevelopment into residential. Partners are Sun Resorts, Parsley's family partnership and Endeavour. Constructed 25 years ago, Parkside Marina is located 250 yards away from the site of Endeavour Clear Lake.The owners will spend the next two months relocating boats from Parkside Marina to Endeavour Marina. The old marina will then be torn down to make way for a 20-story, $35 million residential tower. Parsley expects to break ground by Dec. 1 on that 125-unit complex called Endeavour Parkside. I cited the wrong marina, but the site appears to not even be within the City of Seabrook proper, so you can count out the Jennings Island site. The address will be 4949 Nasa Pkwy., which is in El Lago. This makes sense because I remember having seen an article a while back about El Lago opting to allow highrises along Nasa Parkway.

bachanon Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 so, the jennings island site is not the one mentioned or is not in the works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 so, the jennings island site is not the one mentioned or is not in the works?Nope, it was unmentioned. Also, you quoted the article as saying that two more waterfront towers were in the works, but the article went on to explain that one was on Clear Lake and the other was in Galveston.Like I said, Nancy had already done the runaround trying to find info on this without any luck before she left the Chronicle. The issue has been thoroughly researched, but to no avail. Hell, she even called ME looking for contacts. Come to think of it, that was about the time that the El Lago article came out. I remember thinking "oh well, at least her effort wasn't a total loss." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 i see. thanks for the clarification.i get a little tingly when i hear of new towers. pinpointing their location and probability is, well...........i'm a geek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 There's the Endeavour already under construction and the planned 20 story rental tower that will be called Endeavour Parkside which will stand adjacent to it.Then there's the Jennings Island proposal for Seabrook, although Ziegler Cooper's website is the only time I have seen this proposal.The one that seems forgotten is The Launch at Nasa, another 20 story condo proposal.

MexAmerican_Moose Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 so are all of these new towers besides the Endeavor, are they proposals? or have they been approved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheels Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 so are all of these new towers besides the Endeavor, are they proposals? or have they been approved?They are all proposed at this point. The developer for the Jennings Island project is working with the City of Seabrook, but it has a long way to go and it seems as if it will be quite expensive. He will have to presell, too. The Launch has dropped off the face of the Earth at this point, but you never know. Look for a new project to be announced shortly for Seabrook on Nasa Road 1. Financing is in place and it will go up once it is approved. The other project for Parsley is Porretto Beach in Galveston. I also understand he and Sun Coast have contracted some land on Offats Bayou across form Moody Gardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I went to the JSC a few weeks ago, and I saw some kind of freeway columns going up. What is that?That's the NASA Bypass. It'll allow a direct freeway connection from NASA Parkway just east of SH 3 to the Interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baywatch Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 And for something else new and different, this just came up. I followed a link off of Kemah.nethttp://www.kemahshores.net/This looks to be West Kemah on the side of 146 where Starfleet pulls in. I thought all that land was privately owned residences. Must be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonsemipro Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 It looks like these condos will be on the opposite side where Kemah Boardwalk sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
