By counting up floors, I got 18 + the two from the base. So 20. They've really scaled this one back from 50 floors to get off the ground. My guess is they reconcepted the design after nearly 6 years to fit a more aesthetical package to try to lure more tenants.
|
Let's see. Five Allen Center has been 20% preleased for some years now and that was with their original floor plan of 50 floors. This one is 20 + floors, so around half the size and likely around half the office space. The preleased commitment should be around 40% and up now, just over night without inking anyone new through both the redesign and scaling back.
This puppy just needs 50% before it starts moving dirt. That should be within the next year and a half. |

If I'm not mistaken, the new color is the same as the old color.

what is the building to the left of 3AC? the Doubletree? i dont recognize the facade and was wondering at first if it was the new facade for 1AC but i then i saw 1AC in its current state in other renderings. |

Here's my take on the direction of Houston's skyline. If Five Allen Center can integrate LED lights on its outer band's facade for night, then I'll agree with it being a useful addition to the skyline. Meanwhile 609 Main, the Marriott Marquis, 6 Houston Center, and International Tower, Houston's skylines brighter days are ahead of it. Literally.
Oh and the blue and purple lights are pretty rad. |
HAIF member 'Mab' found the updated leasing plan for the GreenStreet complex downtown, currently under renovation.
In addition to a half-dozen new restaurants and a fitness center, a 25-story 250 room hotel is planned for the corner facing Dallas and Fannin. |

As someone who has never been to Houston (aside from an hour layover at George Bush), can someone explain which buildings comprise Allen Center?

The former Enron Tower was also part of the project at one point, though that technically ended when Chevron purchased the building from Brookfield a few years ago. |

All of these renders made me laugh due to the amount of people walking around in them. Never have I ever seen this many people in that area except when the custodians get off night shift.

2 New Developments listed...Thanks to Urbannizer for finding these.

It's probably referring to the bulk of other projects in the city, not an industry term... As for the two other projects just posted - the one for the Greenway looks pretty good in terms of scaling. Sounds like it will accompany the other developments in the area pretty well w/ GFR based on the comments about the plans. And it's good to see someone else has plans for the two blocks in Midtown that Milhaus had previously proposed apartments for. The neighborhood is too hot for that land to remain dormant for too long. |

The developments keep on getting better and better.

My gosh, what kind of a beast is Houston becoming. In the last one week they've proposed 9 buildings above 10 floors. The 4 from that Westheimer mixed use all 4 range from 17-22 floors, a 10 story announced elsewhere, an 11 story in Greenway, a 12 story (or higher) in Houston's Memorial City area, 28 story residential tower for downtown, a what seems to be 33 floors in Downtown, and Urbannizer mentioned another in Uptown that looks exactly like the Austonian which I've seen renderings for before (for Uptown Park). It's supposed to be in North Uptown and is an exact replica of the Austonian by the same architect and same height.
That's 9 in one week with one more pending (so 10, the Uptown Park) and HAIFers have implied this isn't even close to all the stuff we don't know about yet. For the Uptown Park rendering see TowerSpotters post number 17: http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/h...ity-mixed-use/ |
Under construction Houston is second to New York in number of buildings, tied with Miami and San Francisco. For proposed, only New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have more.
Also so many under construction and proposed are over 500 feet. Which should keep Houston as the third tallest in number over 500 feet behind New York and Chicago. In fact, two of tonight's reveals are over 500 feet (the two in Uptown). |
And we have more. :-)
Another Residential High-Rise for Downtown: Designed by Ziegler Cooper, this one is proposed for the remaining block behind Hess Tower.
