x_gd Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hopefully there is some truth to the new developments. I have noticed the employees at the JE Dunn offices located on the corner of Rochow and West Dallas are moving out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) There are close to ten architecture firms involved in Regent Square. Found these renderings from b.g.a. http://bowiegridley.com/?p=1272# Edited February 29, 2012 by lockmat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Remember this rendering? If included in the final design, we finally know what it's purpose is! http://www.luisponsd...x-buildings.php edit: David. M. Schwarz Architects have a good project sheet .pdf http://www.dmsas.com/resources/docs/81_1298177511_Regent%20Square.pdf Regent Square - Launch Houston, Texas Design to be a free standing sculpture that will host a bar, the building suggest an airplane landing in the Regent square development. It opens it wings, increasing its high towards the main square, and reducing it towards the corner of the triangular lot shape. The interior mirrored ceiling works as a periscope that shows the experience of the interior towards the street. A optical billboard that becomes a living lantern of entertainment during the night and a reflecting street walk scene during the day.

jmancuso Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 there appears to be fairly new townhouses on a portion of this site. are they going to be knocked down? I don't remember being able to see those apartments in the top left corner, or maybe I'm just having a memory lapse? http://www.gid.com/d...ent-square.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 AS much I hope this project get going, this thread has been going for more than 5 years, so I will believe it when I see it.Me too. But in this new housing economy, it almost seems like a slam dunk. Plus, someone with their company told me to expect an announcement about The Sovereign in May or June. It'd be nice if RS was part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHouston Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 there appears to be fairly new townhouses on a portion of this site. are they going to be knocked down?I assume you're talking about the townhouses on Greenwich Place & Terrace? No, they are not part of the development. In fact, you can barely make them out in the rendering you replied to, right at the top, one-third from the left.Lockmat, the apartments in the top right were originally part of the plan, but just as a phase-two (currently occupied by Allen House apts. that didn't get knocked down). My guess is that if folks are getting notices at the other Allen House's and GID wants to add apartments to the original plan, they will/are just going to build phases one and two at the same time.

lockmat Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Someone from Hartman-Cox architects replied to my email last week and said, "we have not been involved with this project in some time" and referred me to the developer.I don't know if that is a neutral or bad sign. They aren't the lead architect. What is the role of architects after they have provided the developer with the drawings? Do they still have any involvment if no alterations are needed?

They aren't the lead architect. What is the role of architects after they have provided the developer with the drawings? Do they still have any involvment if no alterations are needed?This probably means very little at this point. Various architecture firms were commisioned as 'design architects' to give the buildings differenct architectural styles with Schwarz acting as the 'Master Plan Architect'.For the most part, those firms did what they were commissioned to do already. Morris Architects was the production architect, or architect of record, and was commissioned to put the buildings and the CD's toegteher and then see it to construction. The questionshould be- Is Morris Architects still involved in this project as the production architect and how much, if any, did the master plan change? It may actually be a good sign that Hartman-Cox had not been workign on this because their orginal design will stay the same. This is assuming the project is back online.

ChrisPHous Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Where did you hear about that location?It was mentioned somewhere a page or so back on this thread or "The Sovereign" thread. Also looking at the rendering, the bend in the road if you will also matched the location. It looks nearly the same as on google maps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_gd Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Where did you hear about that location?The 8 JE Dunn trailers have been there for awhile. They moved all the trailers out last week and left an empty lot. I talked to one of the people that were moving out and they said a high rise was coming, but had no further information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_gd Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) edited, sorry. see above, correct now, right?That's correct. That is an empty lot, and Allen House Apartments.The block is bordered on the South with town homes and on the southeast by The Piedmont.It was always supposed be part of phase 2 of Regent, but my guess is that they reversed the phases.

talltexan83 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I drove by the lot with the JE Dunn trailers this morning (across from Teala's on W. Dallas) and they were in the midst of some serious apartment demolitions on the lot immediately behind the trailers. I'm not sure if it's related to the Regent Square development, but this was the first I'd heard of any pending demolitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhlaw09 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) It will be interesting to see the extent to which that development ties into the prior Regent Square plans (if at all). Edited April 27, 2012 by uhlaw09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I wonder if UHY's move to the American Tower (which Bisnow claims is in Midtown) has anything to do with Regent Square?UHY HEARTS MIDTOWN, TOOAfter 30 years in Greenway Plaza, UHY is relocating to 90k SF in America Tower. (So if you live nearby, make sure to bring some baked goods and welcome them.) We chatted with Stream’sAnthony Squillante (pictured), who repped the tenant with colleagues Kyle Jacobs, John Pope, Jeremy Hunt, and Chris Johnson. (Cushman & Wakefield’s Bill Stone repped landlord American General Life Insurance Co.) It was difficult finding a block large enough to fit UHY, he says, even though the firm is reducingits footprint by 2,300 SF. (That's while increasing workforce and leaving room for a three-year growth plan.) Anthony says UHY really wanted a desirable office for employees, and it liked Midtown'samenities and price point. PBK designed its buildout.http://www.bisnow.com/houston_commercial_real_estate_news_story.php?p=24377 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Random thought...if Regent Square was anywhere close to breaking ground, wouldn't we be seeing retail space for lease? I find none of that online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
