HOUSTON | Development Thread II

[TexasPlaya]

Nice pic. By volume, Uptown reminds me of how Atlanta's core developed along the highway.

[Dariusb]

I can only image what Houston would look like if ALL of its towers and skylines had been combined into one. That'd be one HECK of a skyline!!

That'd be a beauty wouldn't it? It'll really be something when downtown/uptown connects with other high-rise districts like TMC!

I promise not to bitch about the changes as long as they reopen the Sky Lobby!

No such luck.

The former Sky Lobby on the 60th floor will be redesigned as an exclusive “Sky Lounge” for tenants. The lounge will provide space for tenant meetings and collaboration.

Memorial Park Update: (https://www.houstonchronicle.com/life/article/memorial-park-unveils-eastern-glades-houston-15413236.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral#photo-19696624)

The heart of Memorial Park’s new Clay Family Eastern Glades resembles a diamond ring in aerial views, with a tip of sparkling water atop its oval promenade. Indeed, a gem has been carved from 100 acres of rough.

Construction fences around a southeastern pocket of the nearly 1,500-acre green space will be removed by month’s end, opening up what is essentially a new park within the park. The first major project of Memorial Park’s long-simmering, long-range master plan — set to open the last week of July — has revived land that was previously inaccessible to the public.

“This was a degraded forest filled with invasive plants and drying trees, with soil that was nutritionally depleted,” said Memorial Park Conservancy director Shellye Arnold...

....From the ground level, the Glades looks like a love child of Hermann Park and the Houston Arboretum, combining manicured lawns, classical terraces and a lake with native wetlands, savanna and woods. Yet it also is very much a place of its own, honoring the history of the land and the city....

^ Yea, that building has been on the chopping block for a while. The entire structure is about to collapse from what I remember.

Now that the US government kicked out the Chinese consulate, who will replace them? Mattress Firm? CVS? Keeping with the Chinese theme...Panda Express?

Why not another consulate? Maybe South Korea.

[llamaorama]

They should either mothball the embassy in case relations improve in a year or two, or tear it down because low end offices don't have a future right now. If it was the latter, it could become townhomes or something eventually.

Maybe the secured facility could become a halfway house for released felons, or a mental health treatment center? Or it could be used as a data center?

[JManc]

I was being flippant. It's still owned by the Chinese government and subject to treaty agreements.

Is it to keep the AC from having to work too hard?

I doubt it. I think it's prolly just the color the architect likes. But darker colors do perform better than lighter colors in the winter when it is cold in Houston.

the museum of fine arts, houston (MFAH) has announced that its new building — the ‘nancy and rich kinder building’ — will open to the public on november 21, 2020. designed by steven holl architects, the latest addition to the institution’s ‘sarofim campus’ is dedicated to presenting works from the museum’s international collections of modern and contemporary art. it will open with the first comprehensive installation of these works, drawn from the collections of latin american and latino art; photography; prints and drawings; decorative arts, craft, and design; and modern and contemporary art.

designed by steven holl architects, the trapezoidal concrete ‘kinder building’ is clad with vertical glass tubes that emit a soft glow at night in a pattern across its façades. five rectangular courtyard pools are inset along the perimeter, emphasizing the building’s openness to its surroundings. ‘light enters the kinder building through the ‘luminous canopy’ of its roof, modeled on the billowing clouds of the texas sky, and light emerges from the cladding of soft-etched translucent glass tubes, whose glowing presence at night will add to the impact of the campus as a civic experience for all of houston,’ explains steven holl.

This is lowkey, pretty cool development of a former industrial site along White Oaks Bayous just north of I10. Residential with a mix of low density retail.

Emancipation East & West, Mid-Rise Affordable Housing

From Urbannizer on HAIF

https://www.sc-arch.com/work/emancipation-east-west-apartments/
Smith & Company provided feasibility and site studies for the proposed Emancipation East and West Apartments in Third Ward Houston.

The proposed mixed-income housing development is planned as two 4 to 5 story buildings to be developed on the Project Site, located east and west of the intersection of Emancipation Avenue and Drew Street, with an aggregate of approximately 200 units (of which 120 would be affordable to low-income households), ground level retail, and associated parking.

The estimated East | West Project Phase cost of $32 million would be funded through 9% low-income housing tax credits, conventional financing, local government funding (including funding from Midtown of up to $3 million towards the cost of parking and infrastructure improvements) and private contributions.

I was under the impression that Memorial Park was largely destroyed by the 2011 drought, but at least from the pic, it looks like there are still a lot of trees. I haven't driven through the park since the drought.

I was under the impression that Memorial Park was largely destroyed by the 2011 drought, but at least from the pic, it looks like there are still a lot of trees. I haven't driven through the park since the drought.

Some areas are, especially the eastern part and the walking trails along memorial and memorial loop. The Eastern Glades (pictured) and additional parking covers up some of the drought related devastation but there's still some hard hit areas.

Wait, Houston experienced a drought?? I always thought it was wet and humid. I thought that's why it was always so green when I would visit. The new museum looks incredible, cant wait to visit.

Southeast Texas experienced a pretty bad drought in the early 2010s. Memorial Park was particularly hit hard.

[JManc]

Houston lost about fifty million trees in the 2011 drought and about 15-20% of Memorial Park was impacted. They did replant some trees since then though.

Somehow I missed that rendering on HAIF. That is a bigger development that I thought. It's almost more of a high rise than a mid rise, not sure what the official cut-off is to be called one or the other. It's going to definitely stand out as a tall building. Also there is starting to be some serious density in that immediate area. Assuming COVID doesn't cause cities to be emptied out forever or some other doomsday scenario, I suspect that one day Midtown could leap over West Campus in Austin to become the most urban in Texas, IMO.

Houston OKs plan to let downtown bars, restaurants along Main to serve food and drinks in the street (https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/Houston-OKs-plan-to-let-downtown-bars-15736736.php)

Main Street bar owners are expected to take to the streets now that the city has given them the OK.

City Council on Wednesday approved, after some delay, plans for the More Space Main Street program which would close the road to automobiles and allow bars and restaurants to create outdoor seating spaces in the street.

If all goes well, revelers willing to head out could celebrate some Christmas cheer on the road.

The program, which city officials approved as a pilot until March 2022, includes possibly closing Main downtown from Commerce to Rusk, depending on which businesses seek to participate. Rules and regulations for the areas bars and restaurants could carve out on the street are being developed by officials across several city departments, including planning, public works, police, fire and the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities.

Sort of creating a mini 6th St, like Austin, where they shut down the road to allow more pedestrian use. Hopefully they can get this rolled out sooner than later, downtown houston was blowing up. Appears to be about 6 blocks...

Developers unveil ambitious Buffalo Bayou urban village for fall 2021

Katherine Feser
Nov. 19, 2020 Updated: Nov. 19, 2020 7:50 p.m.

Houston-based apartment developer Hanover Co. aims to deliver the initial phase of its most ambitious project yet on a 14-acre parcel along the western edge of Buffalo Bayou Park in fall 2021.

The company, which has developed more than 60,000 apartment units across the U.S. over the last four decades, and financial partner Houston-based Lionstone Investments today unveiled an urban village called Autry Park at the gateway to the River Oaks and Montrose neighborhoods. The project, which pulls from the natural landscape of Buffalo Bayou Park and will serve as an amenity for park goers, will bring apartment buildings, restaurants, shops and retail services to the site.

“We anticipate the desire to live across the street from one of Houston’s most treasured park spaces in the middle of a vibrant retail development adjacent to some of Houston’s best neighborhoods is going to be something greatly desired by renters and retailers,” said David Ott, development partner for Texas at Hanover Co.

Autry Park, named for the small city park it surrounds, will consist of five towers totalling 1,450 residential units, 350,000 square feet of office space and 100,000 square feet of retail space and a hospitality component. Phase 1, which broke ground at the end of 2019, will bring two multifamily and retail buildings totaling 750 units and 50,000 square feet of retail space amid a winding network of streets and sidewalks shaded by mature oaks.

Timber Office Project Planned Near Houston's Buffalo Bayou

Local Partners to Develop Mid-Rise Project at Autry Park

https://i.imgur.com/zQJhunll.jpg
A boutique office project is tentatively set to break ground next year in what could be Houston's first office building constructed of cross-laminated timber. (Local Partners)

By Marissa Luck
CoStar News

Nov 20, 2020 | 5:09 P.M.

Developers behind a 14-acre mixed-use project overlooking Houston's Buffalo Bayou Park are betting on a boutique, sustainable office design to gain a competitive edge to attract tenants in a tough leasing environment.

The office project is part of Autry Park, the newly named mixed-use project being developed by Hanover Co. and Lionstone Investments.

At full build-out, the project is expected to include 1,400 apartments, 350,000 square feet of office space and 100,000 square feet of retail space near Allen Parkway at the corner of West Dallas Street and the future Buffalo Park Drive.

Local Partners is developing the office portion of the project and plans to include two office buildings: one 20-story building built with traditional concrete and one six- or seven-story building built with cross-laminated timber.

The mid-rise office building with cross-laminated timber for the floor and ceiling decks in combination with a steel frame is the first publicly proposed cross-laminated timber office project in Houston. Another unrelated timber project, involving apartments, was announced earlier in the city.

However, it is "very likely other developers are considering this technology" in the city as the nascent building technique gains traction, said Shon Link, managing partner at Local Partners. Link previously worked at the Houston real estate firm Midway before breaking off to form his own development firm two years ago.

That's an obsolete version discovered before the project was officially announced.

Former Halliburton campus to be demolished to make way for 50-acre mixed-use development (https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2020/11/18/former-halliburton-campus-to-be-demolished.html?cx_testId=40&cx_testVariant=cx_27&cx_artPos=1#cxrecs_s)

A nearly 50-acre corporate campus near Houston’s Chinatown area that was once owned by a division of Halliburton Co. is set to be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use development.

While plans for the new development have not yet been made public, Johnson Development Services and the Houston office of Gensler are crafting a master plan that will include office, retail and residential spaces, the news release said. Transwestern has been tapped to oversee office leasing for the project with several build-to-suit opportunities.

The property at 10200 Bellaire Blvd. was formerly known as the Halliburton Oak Park Campus, taking its name from the company that had it built in the 1970s. The building also had ties to Brown & Root, which was a Halliburton subsidiary at the time before it merged with M.W. Kellogg to create KBR.

Wow Houston is busy!

[AviationGuy]

My step father worked in that building in the 70's when it was 'Brown and Root'

My Dad did as well, at the same time. He also worked at the Clinton Dr campus. Then, he moved to London and Cairo for about 4 years to work on projects there.

[llamaorama]

I don’t have any family connections to it(well my great grandmother was a member of the Root family :) ). I do remember as a small child in the early 90s staring out the car window on the beltway that behemoth being out in the middle of nowhere though. It and Auchans and the silvery NOV tower.

It’s fascinating how that part of the city only took 30 years to go through a complete cycle of brand new suburbia to decay to revitalization.

Wow Houston is busy!

It is about time.

Yeah, he was sent around the world too. Don't remember if he lived overseas though.

Lots of competition in that area, but location location location. Hard to believe that area on the east side of BW8 between Westheimer and Richmond is still just an apartment complex surrounded by open fields.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the latest tech company to leave Silicon Valley, and is moving to Houston (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/01/hpe-is-relocating-headquarters-to-houston-from-california.html)

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the latest tech company to shift its focus away from Silicon Valley, announcing Tuesday that it will relocate its headquarters from San Jose, California, to Houston, Texas.

“HPE’s largest U.S. employment hub, Houston is an attractive market to recruit and retain future diverse talent, and is where the company is currently constructing a state-of-the-art new campus,” the company said in its fourth quarter earnings release. It’s unclear how many employees the move will affect, though the company said no layoffs will be with the move.

HPE will keep the San Jose campus, and will consolidate some of its Bay Area sites there, it said.
