Some tenants announced for the Houston Pavilions:

As some of you are aware, an outside group is scheduled to develop the three vacant blocks of land starting with the block directly across from the college on Polk street and including the two vacant blocks of land directly west of that block. This project is to be a multi-use project to include retail/entertainment, office, and residential. Some of you have inquired into the status of the project since construction has not yet begun on these three blocks. The following is an update. At this point, the project is scheduled to start on September 15th of this year. The developers expect to have the project completed in time for the holiday shopping period in December of 2007. My personal view and the view of those professionals in the construction industry is that this is optimistic as it is an extremely fast schedule. Time will only tell if this schedule will be met. The project has now signed up the following upscale clients to include: The House of Blues, McCormick and Schmidt Seafood Restaurants, Lucky Strike Bowling, Yao's Restaurant, Lawry's Prime Rib, Boca Chica, and Mia Bella. A 12 story residential tower is planned on the southeast corner of the lot closest to us. While this is a very exciting project and if successful will definitely upgrade our part of downtown, it will impact our ability to navigate the streets next to and around the project. Once the project begins, we will be putting out bulletins in this regard to keep you informed. In addition, for those students who are used to parking on any of these lots, I would strongly suggest that you start making alternate arrangements. Hopefully this helps. If you have any questions, please let me know. - Greg Brothers

New Downtown Park near GRB
www.houstondowntownpark.org

The new Downtown Park in Houston will take up three blocks in Downtown Houston.

Houston’s new downtown park is being developed on an 11.78-acre site between the George R. Brown Convention Center and the heart of downtown Houston. The park is the culmination of the dreams of many Houstonians for a major urban park that is being realized as a result of the leadership of Mayor Bill White and some of Houston’s most committed and generous citizens.

It will be complete in 2007. More info here: Houston Downtown Park (http://www.houstondowntownpark.org)

Jennings Island on Clear Lake
http://i5.tinypic.com/20j0aoi.jpg

"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."

Reliant Park
-----------------------------

July 18, 2006, 1:04AM
Dome hotel plan includes 610 exit
Texans officials have 'aesthetic concerns' about a proposed ramp


By BILL MURPHY
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle

A $450 million plan to reinvent the Reliant Astrodome as a luxury convention hotel includes a parking garage and new exit from Loop 610 to keep the facility from interfering with Texans games and performances of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The 2,100-space, multistory parking garage would wrap around two-thirds of the Astrodome and markedly change the appearance of the facility once dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Astrodome Redevelopment Corp., a consortium proposing the development, favors building a ramp from the Loop 610 feeder road to the Dome.

But Texans officials so far have balked at the proposed ramp, saying they have "aesthetic concerns" about its effect on the appearance of Reliant Park, county-hired consultants said in a report.

"I really believe we will be able to resolve all these issues," said Scott Hanson, president of Astrodome Redevelopment.

A ramp would cost $5 million to $10 million, while the alternate proposal, a tunnel from the Loop feeder road, likely would cost $10 million to $15 million, Hanson said.

Astrodome Redevelopment proposes to build a 1,200-room, upscale hotel, restaurants, nightclubs, retail stores and possibly performance stages. The tentative theme is Best of Texas, re-creating Texas courthouses and town squares.

Astrodome Redevelopment has little choice but to address the concerns of the Texans and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Their contracts with Harris County, which owns Reliant Park, allow them to demand that the Astrodome cease operations when rodeo season arrives or when the Texans play at home.

The rodeo will look to receive a percentage of revenues from at least some convention hotel operations, including the hotel, restaurants and many, if not all, retail stores, said Leroy Shafer, the rodeo's chief operating officer. "It is my assumption that since we have the ability to keep them in the dark, that this will happen," he said.

Such an arrangement isn't unprecedented for Reliant Park tenants. For example, the rodeo now gets a percentage of revenues from Aramark, which holds the concession contract at Reliant Park.

The Harris County Sports & Convention Corp., the county entity that oversees Reliant Park, and Astrodome Redevelopment are expected Wednesday to sign an agreement, called a letter of intent, that spells out each side's willingness to move forward with the project.

It is expected to say that the county is giving Astrodome Redevelopment six months to obtain financing and seven months to reach pacts on issues including parking, the hotel's ramp or tunnel entrance and profit-sharing.

Astrodome Redevelopment needs the letter to obtain financing. It will be given a year from the time the letter of intent is signed to reach a lease agreement with the Sports and Convention Corp.

The letter of intent "will be a major, major milestone," said Willie Loston, director of the Sports & Convention Corp.

There are 8,500 parking spaces at Reliant Park and an additional 17,500 across Kirby and in other county-owned lots. The Texans and the Houston Rodeo opposed sacrificing any parking to the hotel, so Astrodome Redevelopment added the parking garage to its concept.

The letter of intent says Astrodome Redevelopment would lease the Dome from the county for 50 years with an option to extend it another 20 years.

Astrodome Redevelopment would pay $2.5 million in rent the first year the hotel opens. Rent would rise 3 percent annually. The company also would pay the Sports & Convention Corp. 2 percent to 3 percent of its gross revenues.

The hotel would be modeled on Gaylord convention hotels in Grapevine, Nashville, Tenn., and Orlando, Fla. Senate Hospitality, a Nashville-based company that includes former Gaylord executives, would operate the Dome hotel. Gaylord hotels cater to groups that want hotels, restaurants, meeting rooms and convention halls under one roof.

Houston already has a convention hotel, the city-owned Hilton Americas next to the George R. Brown Convention Center. Unlike the Hilton Americas, the Dome hotel would imitate the Gaylord concept and try to attract groups looking for a self-contained facility.

"Prior to seeing the Gaylord Texan (in Grapevine), I thought it was a dumb idea," Shafer said. "After we visited the Gaylord Texan, we began to see it is a different model. But personally, I still have concerns that it will work."

500,000-SF Retail Play Leads 84-Acre Plan
By Amy Wolff Sorter
Last updated: July 28, 2006 06:45am

HOUSTON-Land once considered in the boonies is now a hotspot for growth as seeds are planted for the first phase of the $1-billion Vintage Park. The northwest Houston development gets under way with a 500,000-sf lifestyle center, an estimated $125-million to $150-million project.
Experts, familiar with the project, tell GlobeSt.com that the 462-acre master-planned development--the former Hewlett-Packard campus--is especially important to the area. Houston-based developer Interfin's first phase will take up 31 of the 84 acres earmarked for lifestyle projects. The center will sit on the southeast corner of the Louella Road-Texas 249 intersection. Just this month, the San Antonio-based grocery chain H-E-B made a 15-acre commitment for a 105,000-sf store. According to Interfin's Matt Waller, discussions are under way for nearly 100,000 sf. The first space will be turned over to tenants in summer 2007 for finish-outs. "The goal is to have this 100% leased by 2008," he tells GlobeSt.com.

"Preleasing hasn't been an issue here," says Curtis Henderson, a CB Richard Ellis vice president in Houston. "We're talking to a whole host of restaurants of every imaginable venue. Lifestyle tenants are looking at it too."

Henderson says the retail quotes range from the upper $20s per sf to the low $30s per sf, triple net. Tenant-improvement allowances are being quoted at $18 per sf for retailers and $30 per sf for restaurants.

07/26/2006 - 500,000 SF Upscale Lifestyle Shopping Center Breaks Ground in Northwest Houston.

New Center, developed by Interfin, the creators of Uptown Park, to bring extraordinary European Village atmosphere to area.

Houston, Texas – Construction is underway on a new 84-acre mixed-use development located on former Hewlett-Packard’s property at 249 and Louetta Road in northwest Houston. The development is known as Vintage Park and is scheduled for completion in summer of 2007.

The Vintage Park Lifestyle Center will consist of a series of twelve buildings in a towncenter lifestyle configuration, complete with pedestrian friendly sidewalks and public parking fronting all of the buildings. The project is owned by Vintage Park LLC, a partnership led by the Interfin Companies LP. “My vision is to create a retail environment that becomes a destination for northwest Houston,” says Giorgio Borlenghi, President of the Interfin Companies, “Much like what Uptown Park is to the Galleria/Uptown Houston district.”

The Lifestyle portion of the development will have approximately 327, 000 SF of ground floor space and up to 27,000 SF of second-story office space. All four bank pads are under contract to Amegy Bank, Bank of Texas, Laredo National Bank and Trust Mark National Bank. H-E-B signed on in mid July 2006 for 15-acres with plans of a 105,000 SF supermarket. Current lease negotiations include restaurants, spas and lifestyle tenants. 30-acres is also available for future development.

Vintage Park will be reminiscent of an Italian shopping promenade with hand-laid pavers creating a cobblestone street effect, stucco and stone column walkways, clay tile roofs and mosaic ornamental details. The Piazza, the central core of the center, will consist of a series of fountains and gardens surrounded by restaurants and covered by an arched portico.

“The foremost success of any development is location.” says Curtis Henderson, Vice President, CB Richard Ellis, “Vintage Park is conveniently located on the right side of the returning home traffic of a major freeway, Highway 249 and Louetta, and with construction of a neighboring master-planned community, Vintage Park will be first-of-its-kind for northwest Houston.”

Demographically, Vintage Park has a population of 78,662 at three miles with an average household income of $105,265. Hewlett-Packard’s headquarters are across the street along with 3,000,000 SF of office space and a daytime population of between 6,000 and 10,000 workers.

For information regarding this project and leasing opportunities, please contact Curtis Henderson, Vice President, or Elizabeth Bowman Clampitt, Associate, of CB Richard Ellis at 713.840.6500.

Kings Manor in Kingwood:

KINGWOOD, TX-Midway Cos. has secured a $14.3-million construction loan to keep development moving on the first phase of the $50-million Kings Harbor Place in the Kingwood-Atascocita submarket. The project's preleasing is resting at 50% for the initial 80,000 sf of mixed-use space.

The initial phase will contain 66,000 sf of upscale retail and restaurant space, 14,000 sf of office space and a parking garage on nine of the project's 19 acres. The residential component, which is under way, calls for 36 condos and 33 brownstones. Construction will take nine to 12 months before the class A commercial space delivers.

Brant Smith, vice president with Capmark Finance Inc. in Houston, says the loan wasn't difficult to place although mixed-use projects aren't common in Kingwood. Regions Bank provided the financing in a standard two-year package of interest-only payments with a floating rate and an extension option.

"This was a coveted loan by several of the local banks because Midway has a sterling reputation in the market," Smith tells GlobeSt.com. "The strength and sterling reputation of Midway and the uniqueness of the asset at the waterfront attracted a lot of interest."

Capmark also arranged financing for the Houston-based Midway's recent $25-million acquisition of a 300-unit multifamily asset adjacent to the Kings Harbor site. "They're not seeking any more funding right now, not until construction is complete," he adds. "At that time, they'll determine the next step in financing."

Article on Rice Village:

New project reshapes Rice Village
Residential, retail development raises issues for residents
Houston Business Journal - July 28, 2006
by Jennifer Dawson
Houston Business Journal

A hip and trendy new mixed-used development is getting a mixed reception in a unique shopping and entertainment district dating back to the 1930s.

Rice Village is slated for its first new urban development project in more than 10 years.

Lamesa Properties Ltd., one of the largest property owners in the area, plans to develop midrise condominiums with offices over street-level retail space.

Lamesa estimates the project cost at more than $100 million.

Plans call for demolition of roughly four acres occupied by old buildings with tenants such as Walgreens and Nit Noi restaurant.

Lamesa also wants to seal off a segment of Bolsover Street to create a public market setting where residents, office employees and shoppers can congregate.

The proposed project and street shutdown is a subject of debate among members of civic clubs active in the Rice Village area.

The City of Houston will have the final say on whether the development stretches across part of the thoroughfare.

Lamesa has owned most of the four-acre tract for three decades, and put the complete package together by acquiring other bits and pieces over the past five years.

Real estate broker Jeff Peden with Cushman & Wakefield of Texas Inc. says the land price would probably be "off the charts" if bought today.

Peden estimates Village land might go for $70 to $80 per square foot, putting the value of four acres at $12.2 million to $14 million.

"That land is so highly sought after," Peden says. "Plenty of developers would love to put in office, retail, residential. The demographics are so good."

The median household income within one mile of the project was $104,006 in 2005, according to Lamesa.

Those deep-pocketed shoppers are loyal to the Village, which originally was established to cater to Rice University students, and now has more than 300 shops and dozens of restaurants in a 16-block area.
It takes a village

Lamesa's development site is just north of Rice Village proper in an area bounded by Morningside, Dunstan, Kelvin and Rice.

Residents in some civic clubs are making an effort to keep Bolsover open to traffic. A petition with at least 75 names will be presented to the Public Works Department opposing a city sale of the street's right-of-way to Lamesa.

Other civic clubs have voted in favor of the deal. On July 10, the Southampton Civic Club board voted to send a letter of conditional approval of the project to the city, as long as Lamesa sticks to the current development plan.

Some residents contend the project's height clashes with the Village character and hope the development fails to get off the ground.

Preliminary plans include buildings taller than existing structures in the pedestrian-friendly shopping mecca.

Prolific condo developer Randall Davis is consulting with Lamesa on the residential section, which will be six or seven stories high with 250 units and underground parking.

Sources say participation of Davis, a high-quality product and proximity to Rice University and the Texas Medical Center mean that Lamesa probably won't have a problem moving the residential units.

Blake Tartt III, a retail broker not involved with the project, says Lamesa also won't have trouble filling the 100,000 square feet of retail in the works.

"There's a tremendous pent-up demand from national retailers and restaurateurs to get into the Village," says Tartt, president of New Regional Planning Inc.

Julie Tysor, an area resident and Lamesa's point person on the new project, wants to attract a boutique grocery store, a few restaurants and high-end soft goods retail tenants that would complement current retailers in the Village.

"The Village is ripe for some redevelopment," says Tysor. "You can look at that site and see that it needs to be something other than what it is."
A moving study

The project will be built in two phases, with first-phase construction slated to begin as soon as early 2007.

Each phase will take 18 months to build and include residential, office and retail components.

Robert Williams, a resident of Southampton Place, is concerned the higher density will make already bad traffic congestion even worse.

Williams says a traffic study used by the city to evaluate the project was arranged and funded by Lamesa.

He says the study was conducted after Lamesa stopped renewing leases on company properties in the area. Lamesa's Tysor says the move-out began two years ago in anticipation of this deal.

Williams is also concerned that the project will have inadequate parking.

"They have an urbanization vision, which is fine," Williams says. "But I don't think appropriate for the Village. It's way out of character."

A successful project will generate more traffic, says retail broker Tartt, but it just comes with the territory.

"Any time you add that amount of density, you're going to add traffic," says Tartt. "It's just part of what's happening in Houston."
Les Appelt's Lamesa

• A brokerage firm launched by Les Appelt in 1949 changed names over the years and operates today as Colliers International.
• In the early 1970s, Appelt formed Lamesa Properties Ltd., an entity of roughly 40 limited partners with a portfolio of assets inside the 610 Loop. Lamesa Corp., the general partner, is owned by the Appelt family.
• Appelt also founded the Appelt Co., the management company for Lamesa Properties. Appelt Co. is now owned by Julie Tysor and Gary Clayton, the firm's chief financial officer.
• Tysor carries the titles of vice president of Appelt Co.; vice president of Lamesa Corp.; vice president of Colliers International, where she does a limited amount of brokerage work; and president of the University Place Association, a "super neighborhood" created by the City of Houston that encompasses several civic associations in the Rice University area.
• Appelt lives in Bastrop and is no longer involved in the day-to-day operations.

New Office Tower on Montrose Boulevard.

Montrose office building planned
Houston Business Journal - March 16, 2006
by Jennifer Dawson
Houston Business Journal

John Hansen Investment Builder will break ground this month on a new six-story, 55,000-square-foot office building in the Montrose area.

The new building will be located at 4203 Montrose Blvd., just north of the intersection of Richmond and Montrose. The structure will be marketed as Campanile East, the fifth addition to a multi-tenant office park called Campanile Campus.

The new facility will be built directly behind and connected to a historical brick house designed by William Ward Watkin. The house, which dates back to 1920, will be the Montrose frontage for the new office building.

The building will have 9,000-square-foot floor plates, similar to the Campanile Clock Tower Building at 4119 Montrose Blvd. The space will be marketed to smaller tenants, such as design firms, architects, attorneys and sole practitioners.

The new office building is being designed by Philip Ewald Architecture Inc. Mission Constructors Inc. is building the facility, which is being financed by Texas State Bank.

The project is slated for completion this fall.

The Campanile Campus was started in 1985 by John Hansen Investment Builder, which specializes in developing one- to six-story commercial office buildings.

Katz's to open Express deli in The Woodlands
Houston Business Journal - August 22, 2006
by Allison Wollam
Staff Writer

Katz's Deli owner Barry Katz is opening the first spin-off of his New York-style deli in The Woodlands.

Katz's Express, located at 19075 Interstate 45 North in the Portofino Center, will open on Sept. 15.

The restaurant will serve same fare found at Houston's Katz's Deli and Bar, located at 616 Westheimer, but with express service.

"Everybody kept asking me, 'When are you going to open in the suburbs?,' So this is our way to bring pastrami to more people," Katz says.

The restaurant, which will feature a 14-foot Statue of Liberty, will seat 105 diners indoors and 20 on the patio.

Like the Houston location, all breads will be baked in-house, soups will be started from scratch, and all meats will be cooked on the premises. The original Katz's Deli operates in downtown Austin.

The new Katz's Express concept will serve towering signature sandwiches, salads, pastas, entrees, burgers, foot-long hot dogs, breakfast items and desserts.

Katz's Express will hold a charity opening on Sept. 15-17 to help raise money for The Woodlands G.R.E.E.N. (GrassRoots Environmental Education Network), a non-profit organization committed to educating the community about natural resource conservation, recycling and responsible actions that protect the environment.

Cáceres-122 units to be built in Rice Military, A Gated Urban Subdivision

"The 8.1-acre tract, which was formerly home to two miniature horses, a donkey and other wildlife, is located in the southeastern section of Rice Military neighborhood and is bounded by Feagan, Renerman and Detering."

The general Rice Military area has gone from stank to swank in a short time and this project looks like it will push the prices even higher. Donkeys would appear to be pretty much extinct over there these days, but the baying of the train will still remain.

The link is for paid subscribers only, although you can navigate around that if desired by searching again. Here are the main points.

"Two top competitors in Houston's high-end custom home-building industry are teaming up to build what will be the largest project of their careers as they hammer into the multi-unit market. Black Diamond Properties and Rohe & Wright Builders are planning a 122-unit townhome and single-family community on one of the last undeveloped tracts of land between downtown and the inner-Loop Memorial area. The 8.1-acre tract, which was formerly home to two miniature horses, a donkey and other wildlife, is located in the southeastern section of Rice Military neighborhood and is bounded by Feagan, Renerman and Detering.
..........................................

Cáceres will be made up of 105 attached and detached townhomes and 17 single-family patio homes ranging in size from 2,000 square feet to 4,500 square feet. A price range for the homes has not yet been determined. The project is divided 50-50, with each company planning to build half of the homes in the community.

Zenner points out that most of the townhome complexes in the inner-Loop area are made up of five to six units. With 105 townhomes on tap, this project is unique in both its size and its gated-community classification, he says. In addition, Cáceres will be manned with a security guard 24 hours a day. Construction is expected to begin by the first quarter of next year, and the entire project will take about two years to build out.

...........................................

Michelle Wolpert, a Rice Military resident, says residents are still concerned about the impact the project may have on the local infrastructure and the potential increase in traffic. "I would rather the property remained the way it was: 8.1 acres of trees, pastures, shrubs and wildlife," she says. "However, if it is going to be developed, I would rather it be a luxury gated-community with as few high-end residences as possible because that means more green space within the community." "

Ugggghhh.

Another gated complex inside the Loop?

Gated, walled, and security accessed private drives are SUCK. They kill neighborly interaction. They breed anonymity. They do NOT belong in central city neighborhoods.

Oh well, I guess the people who live there will "feel" safer and then the developers can squeeze a few extra bucks out of them.

After the success of their Vistas at Midtown and Piedmont at River Oaks, the Montreal based developers are moving on to their next project; the Serento near the Medical Center. Units are now for sale.

$70M Condo Project Grows in Scope, Size


PASADENA, TX-When luxury condo project Endeavour Parkside came to the drawing board last spring, it was envisioned as a 20-story, 129-unit project with a $35-million price tag. Three months later, it's a $70-million design with 34 stories and 146 units due to the success of its neighbor, Endeavour Clear Lake.

"Projects evolve as they go along," says Robin Parsley, president of Endeavour Holdings Inc. in Austin. "We were originally trying to keep this at 20 stories, and the next thing we knew, we were at 29 stories, than 30, than 34."

Parsley tells GlobeSt.com that demand for larger units and more of them helped to spur the increase. "We didn't necessarily increase the number of units that much. We're up to 146 units from 129," he says. "But we increased the size." The unit sizes for the project at 4949 NASA Rd. 1 go from 900 sf to 3,000 sf. Prices range from $300,000 to $3 million.
The developer has a 30-story, 80-unit project under construction in Clear Lake, which broke ground in April. Penthouses, especially, are in demand with both projects, Parsley continues. "People are interested in large penthouses," he says. "We're totally out of penthouses at Endeavour Clear Lake so we're delivering more of them with Parkside."

Endeavour Parkside, which will be on the site of what is now Parkside Marina, will break ground in early 2007. It has a 14-month construction schedule. Parsley says the marina building will be torn down within 30 days.

InSite Architecture Inc. of Cypress, TX designed the Parkside project. N Sky Construction, part of Endeavour Holdings, is the general contractor. Endeavour is handling sales in house.

Once Endeavour Parkside is completed, the company's next goal is development of a six-acre parcel in nearby Seabrook. "I think that's the best site on the lake, and we're looking at more of a mixed-use development on this," Parsley says. Though the actual development is several years off and plans far from finalized, it could include a high-density residential component along with retail, restaurant and office space.

I like the fact that we'll start seeing road and infrastructure improvements for HY by next year. That'll go in well with the UH-D expansion and will be a nice head start for any BRT/LRT extensions up N. Main (which will be messy for a while).

Frankly, 2 1/2 years is about half as long as I thought we'd have to wait before we saw development on the residential/retail begin. I'm fairly impressed--assuming that the timeline is fairly accurate.

The architect was smoking something regarding that Kemah project. So much potential with that development. How can you have so much detail with amenities such as the top floor skybar and resort style pools and have the base basically as a strip mall? That is definitely a FIRST as far as what I have seen. Goodeness, you would think it is a fad how some of us diss some of these projects but there just seems like there is something exclusive about the design of projects in this area. Mixed use is a funny concept in this city even when we do try. Yes most is better than what was there before but.........

Boy I tell ya, with that project being in such a high profile area with Kemah being one of the top tourist destinations in the entire Houston region, one would think the design would be a lot better. But oh well, Houston is a place to make money. Nothing more and nothing less, and developers know this, so they can get away with saving their cheapest worst designed projects for Houston because they know they can get away with it here. I just don't believe such a design would have even been considered near the shores of Seattle, San Diego, Chicago, Miami or Boston.

Sep 6, 2006, 4:28 PM
Good lord, Trae is exactly right. This thing looks like some of the condos going up in South Florida. Not bad nor good, just nothing special. And WG's crack about the strippish look of the ground floor is funny. Given the condo's location, I doubt if a true urban design with urbanely registered retail appointments would work unless you changed the dynamics of the rest of the island. Since the majority of existing homes in the neighborhood are single-home units (given what's presented in the photo) with residents who drive, they're going to want to park at this new retail center.

I suppose, though, you could've changed the design somewhat to detach the retail structures from the building more if you were trying to appease the more car-oriented clientelle. Maybe a smaller, one-story building loosely attached to the main structure via some sort of covered walkway?

Anyway, the parking lot, all things considered, is fairly minimalistic. Actually about the prefered size of a parking lot in, say, Midtown or the Med Center. The problem (for a true urbanist) is that the lot sits in front of the retail outlets, ruining the urban feel. Also, given the size of the area in which the project is to be built, it is difficult to take that same lot and place it somewhere else (or reconfigure it) without making it inconvenient or uninticing to potential consumers living outside the building (that is, people who drive). And the people who drive will undoubtedly be a big part of those reatailers' revenue.

Thus, pragmatism first, urban design second--in this context. At the least, hopefully there will be nice landscaping in the parking lot.

Cory
Sep 6, 2006, 4:53 PM
No doubt this area is not in walkable environment in the first place, but with building a development on the waterfront and someone would like to incorporate retail, I would think a strip center base would be the last resort. As I mentioned before, I have never seen such a thing in the first place. I guess placing retail along the waterfront would have complicated things. It just seems like they were limited to where and how the towers could stand and there was only one possible way to incorporate retail which would be in a strip center format, but I doubt it.

Great_Hizzy
Sep 6, 2006, 8:14 PM
I personally don't think the retail component is even necessary. Like you said, to take full advantage of the experience, you'd want to put it on the waterfront, like they do in other "trendy resort" locations.

But they'll probably roll their eyes and snicker at us if they make enough $$$ out of this, which they very well could. With all that said, this development DOES gos in the right direction from the empty, unused parcels that jigsaw the area currently. Kemah has all the makings of a very good resort-like community, especially with some of the historical charm and tourist-friendliness that's in place.

Let's hope that we'll see improvements on the development front from here on.

Though, I doubt a lot of the residents will welcome the potential increase in traffic and congestion.

So, with the Endeavour Condos already rising three floors above ground along the shores of Clear Lake in Pasadena, the group backing the project has already launched their second undertaking.

Construction will begin in December once the Parkside Marina is demolished.

Mixed Use

The proposed development consists of a 4-story wood framed apartment building wrapped around a central garage facility. The ground level portion of the building fronting Old Spanish Trail will be retail space with the upper three levels being apartments.

Proposed common area facilities include a clubroom, leasing center, demonstration kitchen, conditioned corridors, swimming pool and conversation pool, large landscaped and hardscaped courtyard, fitness center and business center. Anticipated unit amenities will include 10-foot ceilings, simulated wood flooring, granite countertops, track lighting, and stainless steel appliances.

Sitting on approximately 5.66 acres, the project is slated for 293 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units, for a total of 290,175sf (990sf average) of residential space. The ground-floor retail amounts to 17,516sf.

This 304-unit development is wrapped around a six-level, access-controlled parking garage that includes a total of 484 spaces. Proposed common area facilities include a clubroom, leasing center, demonstration kitchen, conditioned corridors, swimming pool and conversation pool, two additional highly landscaped and hardscaped courtyards, fitness center and business center. Anticipated unit amenities will include 10-foot ceilings, simulated wood flooring, granite countertops, track lighting, and stainless steel appliances.

The Texas Medical Center (TMC), one of the largest and most prestigious medical treatment and research centers in the world, has been experiencing significant new growth for the past two years. The TMC also established, in 1999, a 50-year master plan detailing a comprehensive strategy toward institutional growth, expansion of services, and enhancement of the physical environment. The TMC is beginning to see the initial fruits of the plan with the beautification of streets, new office buildings, the introduction of the first light rail in Houston (connecting the TMC to Downtown Houston to the north and Reliant Park to the south), and renovation of existing buildings. The future campus will further integrate a mixed-use (live/work) community, reflect a commitment to multi-discipline collaboration, ensure access with an emphasis on public transit, among other goals.

Phase I: 304 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units totaling 278,520sf (an average unit size of 916sf) sit on 4.14 acres of an 8.38-acre site.

Oh, man! I've been wondering when someone was going to make a push into that area (OST @ Almeda). Lots of development opportunities there. Not so sure, though, about the OST @ Kirby location. Lots of traffic around Reliant Park may turn some potential buyers/renters off. I could be wrong, though.

BP Plans to expand in the Energy Corridor:

BP plans expansion in west Houston

By TOM FOWLER
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle

Oil giant BP is planning a major expansion of its west Houston campus to accommodate 2,000 new workers over the next few years.

The company recently added 50 acres to the campus at Interstate 10 and West Lake Park Blvd. and plans to build a seven-story, 390,000-square-foot, environmentally-friendly building for its gas and power trading business.

The new BP project is another example of the construction boom in the Energy Corridor, an area along I-10 from Dairy Ashford to beyond Highway 6, that is home to major facilities for many energy companies.

Trammell Crow Co. announced earlier this year plans for 600,000 square feet of new office space at I-10 and Eldridge Parkway, while earlier this week Shell Oil Co. said it would build a 170,000 square-foot office building at Dairy Ashford for workers who find and produce oil and gas.

...................................

The building construction and renovation work announced Thursday is expected to cost about $250 million, said BP spokeswoman Annie Smith, adding that planned future projects could push that total to about $660 million.

This project will include a new parking garage for 1,700 cars and widening of Grisby Road. Added parking is a priority since the BP campus currently has only 100 spare parking spaces, leaving many workers driving around trying to find an empty space near their office.

The later phases include a larger building for its onsite childcare center, new training and development buildings, and possibly a hotel with retail shops.

$41M-Plus Buy Nets 264 Units for Condo Plan
By Alex Finkelstein
(To read more on the multifamily market, click here.)

GALVESTON, TX-Spotting a niche for condominium housing near Scholes Field Airport, JMG Realty Co. of Atlanta has acquired the one-year-old, 264-unit Club of the Isle resort-style apartment complex for $41.3 million or $156,400 per unit. The seller was Houston-based Chaparral Group LLC.

"JMG plans to fill a much-needed niche on the island by converting the property to for-sale condominiums in the medium-price range," says Bill Miller, managing director in Dallas for Holliday Fenoglio Fowler LP. "Galveston's economy has grown tremendously in the past few years and is expected to set new records for 2006."

Miller says Club of the Isle "represents an excellent opportunity for the buyer to take advantage of current pent-up demand for condominium units on the island." HFF director Robert Casas worked with Miller in representing the seller.

The three-building property has seven different one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans, averaging 982 sf. The 15-acre site is at 3433 Cove View Blvd. near the Scholes Field Airport and Galveston Island Municipal Golf Course in the Campeche Cove subdivision.

Community amenities include a pool, sand volleyball court, golf putting area, playground, fitness center, massage room and entertainment center. HFF's Miller says the buildings were built to hurricane specifications and rated to withstand wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour.

Thank Shasta for this


After a nearly two year wait, ground was broken this week on Metrontario's Life Science Plaza.

The original project was announced in 2003 as an 11 story medical office tower to be located at 2130 Holcombe Blvd on the former site of the long vacant Towers Hotel which was torn down.

The new tower will now be 13 floors (7 floors of office space over 5 floors of parking and ground floor retail). It will also have 300,000 square feet instead of 210,000. Completion is expecting in early 2008.

Cornerstone Hospital will open a 70 bed long term accute care facility on the site.

Add another crane to the Texas Medical Center skyline!

Tower Construction Starts on Houston's Tallest Condo Project
September 26, 2006
By Tonie Auer, Southwest Correspondent

Vertical construction starts this week on the largest residential high-rise built in Houston to date with the building of towers of the Mosaic on Hermann Park high-rise condos in Houston.

Phillips Development & Realty and Developer Sales Group L.L.C. and Wood Partners are teaming up for this more than $100 million, 792-unit, mixed-use high-rise (pictured) consisting of two 23-story towers. Each tower will sit atop a six-story parking structure and 22,500 square feet of street level retail.

The 4.74-acre site is located adjacent to 400-acre Hermann Park, an 18-hole public golf course, amphitheatre, running trails, and Houston Zoological Gardens. It is located off Highway 288 near downtown Houston, Texas Medical Center and Rice University.

The Mosaic property at 5925 Almeda Road is slated for a fall 2007 completion date.

Condo sales continue to grow in Houston, according to the Multiple Listing Service statistics for August 2006 sales. In the Houston area, the overall median price in the townhouse/condo segment in Houston was up 4.5 percent for August with the average sales price of a townhouse or condo sold in the greater Houston at $153,066, which was a 3.7 percent increase from the same month last year, the report stated. Mosaic's units start at $164,000.

Additionally, the number of townhouses and condos that sold in August increased compared to last year's sales, with 708 units being sold last month, versus 690 properties in July 2005, or a 2.6 percent increase in year-over-year sales, the MLS report stated.

Residents at the Mosaic will be able to choose from a variety of loft-style plans, extended terrace or penthouse units. Residences will feature floor to ceiling windows, Mosaic glass tile backsplashes, stainless steel appliances and modern design accents.

Phillips Development & Realty is a Raleigh-based company with mid-rise projects currently under construction in Tampa: Casa Bella on Westshore and Le Jardin at International Drive. Developer Sales Group L.L.C. is a sales and marketing organization specializing in the real estate brokerage industry.

Great find on the Lyme rendering. They are a FIRST CLASS operation. Their developments in Boston and across the river in Cambridge are spectacular. I was hoping their Houston project would live up to my expectations and it looks like it will.

Just wanted to congratulate Houston on its large DT park development. The Phoenix City Council just approved a $1 Billion mixed-use development for three square blocks at the 0,0 origin point of Phoenix called Cityscape. One of the blocks includes Patriot's Square Park. The developer and city parks board will be redesigining park space within the development and the Phx Devel thread has been kicking around ideas on what the park should be. I came across Houston's park web site. It has some elements that I thought would be perfect for Phoenix as well, especially the interactive fountain. Someone posted the rendering of the entire park and I posted the portion showing the interactive fountain. .... Your park is getting a lot of play in Phoenix. Thanks and congrat's again! :worship:
