What happened to Hines Market Square Apartments? I thought it broke ground already?
|
Thanks for the updates Urbannizer. I'm really digging the Hermann Park Centennial Gardens and the Buffalo Bayou redevelopment. :)

No, this is not a prediction of the Super Bowl teams, but it should make up for today's heartbreaking loss. Houston vs San Francisco in the Smackdown of Cool...

Office space construction reaches the 19 million sf mark. And over half of it is spoken for.
Office construction reaches highest level since 1980s |
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

A new research campus is getting built by another Houston oilfield services company. No details, other than it's a 50,000 sf space.

I hate the parking garage at street-level.
The set-back is ridiculously gigantic. This should have been closer to the street with some ground floor retail. |
I usually agree with you, but there is ZERO street life here. I used to live in The Spires next door and that parcel of land is really cut off from any street life. On one side, you have Braes Bayou and Hermann Park. On the other side is an ocean of surface parking (fenced off at the sidewalk) for the VA Medical Center (the actual hospital bldg is far away). Across Cambridge St you can find the Ronald McDonald House and The Houston Hospice and a small cluster of townhomes. There are no businesses. No coffee shops. No bars or restaurants. Add to it that Holcombe is a 6 laned road that TMC commuters use as a racetrack, and I've got no problems with this tower.

I think this one was already posted - if not here, then at HAIF:

That explains why they closed...
Meanwhile, I'm not worried about a glut in office space developing as much as I'm worried about oil prices dropping below $90 a barrel. BisNow explains why... "...Class-A direct leasing dropped for the fourth consecutive quarter (we soaked up 6.9M SF in the last 12 months, a 40% decrease from the same time last year and 15% below our 10-year historical average), but that shouldn’t concern you, either. PM director of research Ariel Guerrero says it’s due to Class-A tightness. Significant demand is still there, and construction is still increasing to fix that problem—1.4M SF broke ground last quarter, bringing us to 19M SF underway..." And here's someone else who may be looking for space... Blackstone forms new Houston energy company with $700M investment |

This has got to be a first. A precursor to (gasp) zoning?
Vote could shield Riverside Terrace from incompatible development http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/...-12-and-15.jpg |
Demo is starting on 1800 San Jacinto (Block 384). The earlier renders of it looked like this:

Duck! And cover...
This property, once a fallout shelter for a Chinese national, is being marketed as a data storage center (or centers): https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/pr...ker-medium.jpg From BisNow: "Caldwell Cos associate VP Blake Virgilio tells us his firm is handling leasing for a three-building complex in Montgomery called the Westland Bunker. That includes an existing 105k SF office/disaster recovery building and an existing 38k SF underground data center (the only one in Houston). Phase II, a 108k SF underground data center, will deliver in April. Blake says the site is a real fortress. It’s isolated—45 minutes north of Downtown Houston and 100 miles from the coast—and powerful (it was built to withstand a direct nuclear attack). Even the four-story office building is hardened, fully generator-backed, and layered with massively redundant connectivity so it’s always business as usual. If the underground aspect is throwing you off, you can relax—it’s 345 feet above sea level, only 85 feet below Dallas. Speaking of relaxing, the property has an onsite swimming pool for employees. (Blake calls it a country club for IT pros.) Blake says Caldwell is leasing all three buildings in Westland Bunker, each of which has space available. He hopes to capitalize on data center demand in Houston, which has increased tremendously in recent years. Besides, companies like to have their data centers close, and we all know North Houston's corporate activity is booming." |
Another day, another tout. This time from Travel & Leisure:
National magazine names Houston one of America's Favorite Cities |
The 10 Waterway development in the Woodlands has shrunk 3 floors and is now a 17-story building. There's a full-page ad in the HBJ showing what the new building looks like; gone is the top floor decorative feature in favor of a flattish roof. Still no word on a start date from Howard Hughes and no links to the render shown in the ad.
Also, the University of Houston has dropped a few more details on their proposed medical expansion, known as the Health and Biomedical Sciences Building 2 - on campus, 280,000sf with a 75,000sf research lab, and opening by 2017. The proposed medical school, which is separate, would not open until 2020. |
This was posted on the Dallas thread, but it's relevant to Houston, too. Public hearings have been scheduled on the high speed rail proposal that's Bob Eckols' baby...
