Slick Vik Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Saw a work crew upgrading the telecoms connections to this block yesterday, hopefully it is a good sign of things to come!I saw some flags on Rochow also. Not sure if that is the first step in taking down the Allen house apartments or if they are leftover from street reconstruction earlier.

Nucleareaction Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Something like that. Running by the empty lot on Allen Parkway the other week, i noticed they have flags all over. Looks like a layout of the streets and buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naviguessor Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I love a highrise as much as anyone else. But, I hope that they are not loosing the concept of this development, for the sake height. This seems a bit overdone to me. And yes...confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hmm from the rendering it makes it look like its right next door to the Sovereign yet they say this is at the corner of W. Dallas and Dunlavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The architecture is not fantastic, but it does look like the typical residential tower (plus the height), that you see pop up in Chicago and New York all the time.I agree with Navi, I hope they don't loose touch with the original idea. But at this point any sign of progress is a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Amenties of the highest class? Please no..... we have river oaks district for that.  ROD is a wannabe urban place, just a step above Market Street in the Woodlands in thosse terms. If RS can create a true urban feel as their initial plans indicate, maybe they can get better tenants. I love a highrise as much as anyone else. But, I hope that they are not loosing the concept of this development, for the sake height. This seems a bit overdone to me. And yes...confusing. I think they can go for the same street level feel and increase the height. Just don't do ugly podium garages. Hmm from the rendering it makes it look like its right next door to the Sovereign yet they say this is at the corner of W. Dallas and Dunlavy. The tower portion of the Sovereign development is on the east side of the block, so this actually looks like it's to the southwest of the Sovereign. The architecture is not fantastic, but it does look like the typical residential tower (plus the height), that you see pop up in Chicago and New York all the time.I agree with Navi, I hope they don't loose touch with the original idea. But at this point any sign of progress is a good one. I played word association in anticipation of seeing what the news was and immediately thought Atlanta. Right or wrong, that's what I thought. The architecture kind of feels like a 90's suburban home to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 i agree with most everything Lockmat.. except for Regent Square getting "better" tenants. from the developers perspective, its hard to get much better than tenants willing to pay $200/sqft. from the average middle class persons perspective, yeah they could definitely get stores that have a wider demographic. so is the white high-rise in the background supposed to be the Sovereign? its got a garage wrapped in apartments like the Sovereign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) btw, i count around 36 stories on that residential tower..? Edited May 20, 2015 by cloud713 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Regent Square was supposed to be more approachable for middle class people. Highest class tenants? Now they make it sound like West Ave or River Oaks District, and I gotta admit, that loses a lot of its appeal if that's the case. I thought this would be the first truly urban walkable environment that almost all people could enjoy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I don't ever remember them stating the level of the tenants, but maybe you're right since Alamo Draft House isn't super high end. And why am I wanting the tenants to be high end? You're right, since this is going to be inherently more "open" to passerbyer I should want this to be accessible to the common man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 so no one answered my question earlier.. do y'all think the white tower to the left is the Sovereign? if so, this appears to literally be butting up against the south side of the Sovereigns garage. are there no apartments wrapped around that side of it?

j_cuevas713 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Well its a long term project they are developing little by little in sections... so yeah I don't expect this to look like the oroginal renderings over the long haul but similar in a way, like the central courtyard, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I saw an online ad for Regent Square offering up to two free months rent. Maybe that's why they haven't moved forward yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
