KinkaidAlum Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Wasn't the 41 story apartment tower supposed to break ground this quarter? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shasta Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Seriously. what is the developer's game plan here? I understand putting the project on hold in 2009 but many mini boom cycles have happened since then. This would be a HUGE success if it was currently online. The developers have owned the land since the 1980s, they demolished most of the Allen House (income producing property) and yet the lots remain vacant. Let's hope 2018 IS the year. Sadly, those Chines developers are going to one up Regent Square, once again, by building their mixed use development on Allen Parkway giving them another "reason" to delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I saw it made a reference to some 2015 figures as well. I suspect the update was just sloppily done (kind of like this post, which got trapped in Urby’s post and where I couldn’t figure out how to get it out), which I do not take as a good sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Ok, this is not technically a regent square update but there is some activity on an adjacent site. A large portion, if not all of the land used by The Lighthouse and/or The Center just West of the Regent Square site was put up for sale a few months ago. I’ve heard no news about the sale but I did see a soil sampling crew drilling near the corner of West Dallas and Tirell Street yesterday. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpet Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 As of a couple of days ago workers have been putting a fresh coat of paint on the Allen House units facing Rochow. My understanding was that this was supposed to be the next phase (high rise resi) being developed. It seems like there is going to be additional delay with Regent Square unless they are planning to start building on the vacant land first (which would be mostly retail, I believe). Keep the income producing properties intact as long as possible and start building out the retail... I see cars parked at their office on Dunlavy fairly regularly so it would seem something is going on (likely wishful thinking!)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 If this did ever happen, coupled with the Buffalo Heights development, it could really transform the Waugh/Allen/Memorial corridor. Doubtful this comes to fruition, so I'm happy HEB and Buffalo Heights is happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Yeah at this point I give up on this. Not too concerned though. This is prime real estate that will developed soon enough. I mean we still have the development on Gillette and Buffalo Heights to look forward to. Edited March 12, 2018 by j_cuevas713 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the second part of Regent Square, a highly-anticipated mixed-use project. Boston-based General Investment & Development Cos. is the developer. The planned walkable community is near Buffalo Bayou along Dunlavy and West Dallas streets on land formerly occupied by the 1960sera Allen House Apartments, which were almost all demolished in 2007 to make way for Regent Square. GID has already progressed through the design portion. Regent Square will ultimately include roughly 400,000 square feet of shops and restaurants, 240,000 square feet of office space, 950 multifamily units and 4,200 parking spaces. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJilliams Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It's becoming increasingly frustrating with every new press release that says "starting soon" or "ramping up" with this project. I'll I can ask is when exactly? This land is just screaming to be filled in with some kind of project, but year after year it just sits there with little or no activity. I want to have hope that this someday comes to fruition, but it just seems like it will be later rather than sooner. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on looking at the site plan, it looks like phase two is a taller tower than the existing phase I tower. At least that's what it looks like to me. Actually, page 19 shows it to be a taller tower as well, good news! And according to page 25, could they be connecting the two Sovereign towers??? http://regentsquarehouston.com/wp-content/uploads/GID_RegentSq_Bro_US_A4.pdf Edited May 31, 2018 by lockmat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I guess the silver lining is that they're making progress lol From what I can expect, it seems as though they're knocking out the big stuff first before moving to the more retail focused developments.

gregpet Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I drive by their office almost every day (on Dunlavy) and there have been cars in the parking lot (between 1 and 4) for the last few months. So it would seem something is going on... also the Allen House apts got paint and a cleanup earlier this year. They also have a banner out front saying “new interiors”. It it would seem that they may be keeping the income producing Allen House units and ready to start building out the vacant land... just my $.02 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming Phase I is The Sovereign and Phase II is everything else, yes? If so, I see three new high rise residential towers coming. One at Tirrell and W Dallas, one directly south of The Sovereign and one just southwest of The Sovereign. In addition, there will be a high rise hotel at Dunlavy and Allen Pkwy a mid rise office tower at Tirrell and Allen Pkwy, and low rise residential and entertainment over the rest of the site. Based on the renderings, the development could be truly spectacular, — a slam dunk — especially being nestled next to the new Buffalo Bayou Park. It just needs to get done........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phase II is Phase II of the portion of the project called the Sovereign. Ziegler has a map of its version of the master plan for the Regent Square project that features the tower we know as "The Sovereign" with a label of "Phase I" next to it. A label of "Phase II" is next to a structure just to the south of it. The image of such is to the right of the map below: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
