Zadok Jewelers to develop mixed-use project on Post Oak

This kills the 44-story hotel proposal: https://forum.skyscraperpage.com/sho...d.php?t=230700

Quote:
The owner of Zadok Jewelers, a decades-old family-owned business in the Galleria area, is redeveloping a prime site on Post Oak Boulevard as a mixed-use project that will house its new store, two restaurants and upscale office space.

The Zadok family purchased the 1.65-acre property in 2012 from developer Gerald Hines, who built a retail center there in 1971 called Post Oak Row. The 23,000-square-foot strip center at 1801 Post Oak Blvd. was the former home of Tony's, one of Houston's oldest restaurants and one of the top-rated in the city. Tony's moved to a new building in Greenway Plaza in 2005.

Construction will start in August on a five-story, 112,000-square-foot building designed by Austin-based Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, the Zadoks announced Wednesday. The building is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Lower Heights District developer disclose plans for urban site in The Heights


Quote:
Construction recently started at Lower Heights District, a 24-acre site a mile west of downtown, just south of Interstate 10 between Sawyer and Studemont, a burgeoning neighborhood of upscale restaurants, art studios and shops.

While the first phase of the project — a 370-unit apartment complex and 78,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space — is under construction, plans are in the works for a cinema and dining concept, office buildings and more apartments and shops, according to Gulf Coast Commercial Group, the Houston developer that bought the site in 2015 for $40 million.

...Lower Heights District, designed by Gensler, is also designed to be open and walkable, with small plazas and green spaces. Diners will spill onto outdoor restaurant patios and the project, near the hike and bike trail, will cater to trail users as well as nearby residents, the developer said.

Gulf Coast said there are plans to develop a 120,000-square-foot office building constructed with cross-laminated timber wood panels made from several layers of lumber glued and stacked that is said to be an environmentally friendly construction material.

...Total Wine and Ulta Beauty have finalized leases for the retail space underway, but the developer would not reveal names of the other tenants it is talking to.

Valley Ranch Commerce District - New Caney, Texas

Quote:
Valley Ranch has multiple commercial districts. The town center and entertainment district will feature over 300K SF of office space, multifamily developments, a movie theater, restaurants, bars, retail and over 100 acres of parks, lakes and connectivity to the entire Valley Ranch development. The Commerce District, the 57-acre site on the southwest corner of Grand Parkway and Interstate 69, will target corporate relocations and expansion partially driven by the district's access to George Bush Intercontinental Airport, The Woodlands, Springwoods Village and Downtown Houston.

Woah. I live 5 minutes away from this development and if built it would be like another version of The Woodloods but on interstate 69 instead. This would also be like the 3rd design change they have made so far.

NE Houston really coming into its own. I haven't driven up that way since before BW8 was completed in this area and it's changed a lot. Lots of logistics and manufacturing seemed to have moved to near the airport while Humble/Kingwood/Atascocita are really starting to mature.

Not to mention, when the hell did 59N get redone, it looks nice up there. I usually never venture east of I45.

59 is nice now but it won't be in the future. I just live in this area because I got a good deal on an apartment, but I don't love it.

It's so strange how behind the trees up 1314 and the GP there are miles and miles of trailer slums. These poor areas don't have municipal services and look dirty. Unlike the original section of Kingwood which preserved the trees and was neatly planned, the current McMansion and cheapo 'starter home' growth doesn't. Something about this place just makes me sour. It's still white trash here too. Last month some guy shot his girlfriend in my apartment complex and I see police cars with flashing lights at night way too often.

Some tilt-wall office buildings(do you believe that rendering?) won't add anything to the area. There won't be enough jobs or residents to support ground floor retail or things like that. The area doesn't have the population or demographics to fill out the existing Valley Ranch shopping center as it is, which already lost a couple stores that had barely opened.

Oil is going to stay too cheap for stuff like this and Generation Park, IMO. Typical Houston.

It's not so strange considering a lot of Houston is extremely poor, like old south poor. N/NE Houston definitely reminds of East Texas poverty (tall pine trees and white trash-ish) as I've been through some of those areas off the freeway throughout my life in Houston.

I was more commenting on my drive and time up in NE Houston, Kingwood area most specifically, and how much it has changed/matured. I don't believe the actual project will look anything like those renderings but the "New Caney" area resembles what Rosenberg/Richmond (far SW Houston) looked like 10-20 years before it grew rapidly. Kingwood has definitely aged well in my opinion.

What part of town do you live? Valley Ranch right now has the same crappy stores and restaurants you can find in nearby Humble and that is on the way home (from town) for most people in the area. Plus Porter and New Caney are straight out of deliverance. Ever been to that Walmart? Truck nuts and meth. If they were to develop that area as shown in that post, that would be something but no one is going to go out of there way for a Hobby Lobby.

Here in Kingwood, I think a lot of people here are jonesing for a cool place nearby that isn't the Woodlands or town. They just don't want it in Kingwood.

Insperity kicks off construction at Kingwood campus
https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/02/77/.../4/920x920.jpg

Quote:
Kingwood-based human resources service provider Insperity Inc. (NYSE: NSP) has broken ground on what will be the fifth multistory office building at its corporate campus.

When finished, the new building will stand at 10 stories and will have 270,000 square feet of Class A office space. It will also have an adjoining six-level parking garage. The new building will incorporate the look of the existing buildings on Insperity’s campus and will be designed to accommodate about 1,000 employees, Insperity said in a news release. Construction by D.E. Harvey Builders will begin this month and is expected to be complete in 2020. An Insperity spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment.

“As one of the area’s largest employers, this corporate expansion represents the tremendous success and growth that we have experienced during 33 years of business,” said Paul Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and CEO.

The new building will be located near the southeast corner of I-69 and Kingwood Drive.

Greystar building 11-story high-rise near Memorial Park

Quote:
Multifamily developer Greystar has moved into the next phase of development on the former site of the Memorial Club apartments near the Washington Avenue roundabout.

The Charleston, S.C., developer, which is partnering with J.P. Morgan Asset Management on the project, has started construction on what will be an 11-story, 315-unit apartment building called The Byrdie.

"The community is being designed with sustainable products and will complement the surrounding neighborhood and pedestrian friendly location," Trent Conner, managing director of development for Greystar, said in an announcement.

The building will include one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans, along with penthouse units.

Interior finishes will include stainless steel appliances, gas ranges, stone countertops and wood flooring throughout. Penthouse units will have Subzero and Wolf appliances.

Among the amenities will be a top-floor lounge that will have views of River Oaks and downtown, Greystar said. The building will also offer valet and concierge services.

The project is going up on the southwest corner of Westcott and Arnot streets, just east of Memorial Park. Harris County Appraisal District appraised the nearly three-acre parcel at $6.3 million.

The new building is expected to open by early 2021.

Houston apartment permits triple from a year ago

Quote:
The number of Houston-area apartments permitted in the 12 months ended April 30 was up 200 percent over the previous year, elevating Houston to the No. 2 spot of top metros ranked for permit activity, new data shows.

Builders permitted 20,012 units in Houston over the 12-month period, tripling the year-ago pace, according to a report from RealPage, a real estate data firm.

The boost in activity lifted Houston's ranking one spot from the 12-month period ending in March. Houston displaced Dallas, which moved to the No. 3 spot. New York ranked No. 1.

The United States National Bank Building in Galveston is being converted from office to mixed-use.

https://www.galvnews.com/business/bu...7f7850940.html

Renovations now underway as of 6/10: https://www.galvnews.com/business/bu...d5e3aadfe.html

Quote:
Major makeover: In other island luxury apartment news, crews are expected to begin demolition work in the 12-story United States National Bank Building, 2201 Market St. downtown, as part of a $14.9 million renovation that will yield 64 luxury apartments.

Along with high-end apartments, developer Hadar Goldman plans to add a rooftop event center with a bar and pool, along with a street-level spa, wellness center and yoga studio. Previous street-level tenants already have moved.

The building would offer all the modern amenities, while respecting Galveston history and tradition, Goldman said. Frost Bank will continue to lease the second and third floors of the building, while Kempner Capital Management will remain on the 12th floor, Goldman said. Principals of Kempner Capital Management have a long history with the building, inspiring Goldman to allow the firm a lease for as long as it wants one, he said.

Former Rockets star, investor sell TMC-area property to developer for mixed-use project

Quote:
Former Houston Rockets player Hakeem Olajuwon and local real estate investor John Ballis have sold a 4.64-acre site near the Texas Medical Center to a local developer, according to a press release from Houston-based Transwestern.

Transwestern Commercial Services has been hired to advise the new owner on its plans to develop a mixed-use project at the site, 1990 Old Spanish Trail, per the release. TCS Vice President Robby Winston is providing advisory services for the new owner, an entity called Americus OST LLC. Houston developer Andrew Schatte is the principal of Americus OST.

John Ballis Jr. represented both the buyer and the seller in the land deal, which closed in March, according to Harris County records.

“The new owner is looking to create a mixed-use development that would complement the highly respected health care, educational and research institutions that are adjacent to the site,” Winston said in the release. “As one of the last undeveloped parcels in the Texas Medical Center, this site presents the unique opportunity to bring additional supportive capacity to this rapidly growing innovation district. Our property will enhance those larger master plans taking shape.”

Marquette Cos. Building 2 Multifamily Projects In East End

Quote:
Chicago-based Marquette Cos. is moving ahead with two multifamily communities totaling more than 600 units in the East End District, an area primed for transformational commercial development anchored by Midway's 150-acre East River project. "This is going to be a game-changer for the neighborhood," Marquette Cos. President Darren Sloniger said.

2404 Navigation will target millennials who want to live in an urban environment while the East Bayou project will cater to a health and wellness lifestyle, Sloniger said. The projects are within a qualified opportunity zone. Marquette Cos. has partnered with an undisclosed opportunity zone fund for 2404 Navigation and plans to bring on an OZ fund for the East Bayou project as well. 2404 Navigation is a nine-story, 300-unit community that will feature convertibles and one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 850 SF and 18K SF of retail space for a restaurant and a café. On-site amenities will include a rooftop pool, a fitness center, a yoga studio, a tenant-only coworking space and a sky lounge with views of Downtown Houston. The site went under contract in February and will close at the end of construction, Sloniger said. The groundbreaking is expected in mid-August, and build-out will take 15 months. Marquette Cos. is bringing in Chicago-based Brininstool + Lynch as the architect to embrace a more urban design with an authentic vibe and use natural materials and finishings, Sloniger said. Houston-based Gin Design Group was tapped as the designer.

Overlooking Buffalo Bayou and the adjacent East River project, the second, nine-story mid-rise will feature 330 units averaging 920 SF, up to three-bedroom floor plans and 5K SF of retail. Construction is expected to start in January with a 15-month build-out.

New luxury apartments to break ground Fall 2019 in Katy

Quote:
A new high-end apartment complex will break ground in Katy this fall.

Encore Grand Crossing will be located at the northwest corner of West Fernhurst and Western Center Drive near Grand Parkway and I-10, said Charlie Keels, the president of Dallas-based Encore Multi-Family.

Encore bought the 6.87-acre site from Dallas-based Trammel Crow Commercial on May 15, said Tom Dosch, the principal of Dosch Marshall Real Estate, which represented the seller in the deal, in an email. Austin-based Oden Hughes will oversee construction.

Details regarding financing and representation were not disclosed since they are not yet finalized, Keels said.
The first units are expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2020, Encore Enterprises representatives said.

At 6,000 square feet, the four-story building with 240 units will include a game room, coffee bar and spa as well as business-oriented environments, such as a conference room and separate business center with individual workspaces, Keels said.

Other amenities in the community will include two dog parks, a 24-hour package system and an Uber lounge for resident pickups, he said.

Dallas-based JHP Architecture and Urban Design will oversee the building’s design. Details regarding financing and representation were not disclosed since they are not yet finalized, Keels said.

Site of 104-year-old Houston business to become mixed-use development

Quote:
Real estate developer Texas Group is preparing to build a new mixed-use project on the site of one of Houston’s oldest businesses.
 
Texas Group Principal Danna Sivan said her firm is about three weeks away from closing on the property occupied by Southern Importers, which has provided theatrical supplies and costumes to the Houston community for the past 104 years. Southern Importers announced June 13 that it will cease operating from its shop at 4825 San Jacinto St. in Houston’s Museum District on June 29. The store is in the process of liquidating its inventory.

Sivan declined to comment on how much Texas Group is paying for the property or the cost of the mixed-used development. However, the Harris County Appraisal District has valued the land and the building at $1.7 million combined.

Sivan said the mixed-use project is still in the planning phase and that details about the mix of office, retail and multifamily residential space was not yet available. The firm is also in the process of hiring a team to handle general contracting, design and engineering for the project.

The property is being replatted, she said, “in order to tap into transit corridor ordinance benefits.”

Once those steps are completed, Sivan said Texas Group wants to break ground on the project as soon as possible.

“The Museum District is going through a transformation, and we are excited to partake in shaping the upcoming neighborhood,” Sivan said.

Long-anticipated post office redevelopment in downtown Houston moves forward

Quote:
Almost four years after purchasing downtown Houston’s former Barbara Jordan Post Office, Lovett Commercial is finally ready to unveil formal plans for it.

The Houston-based developer has scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony for the project on June 27, according to a media alert. Formal plans and renderings will be released at that time, but the media alert confirms that the over 550,000-square-foot building will become a mixed-use development featuring "international cuisine, retail, art, music and innovation."

Jason Long, a partner in the New York office of international architecture firm OMA, and Houston-based Powers Brown Architecture are working on the project, per the media alert.

Has there been any recent news on the abandoned high rise hotel at the south (?) end of downtown? It may have been a Holiday Inn or something like that at one time.

It was put up for sale back in April of last year, nothing new since then.

Major Development Proposed for Former Chevron Tract on Loop 610 in Bellaire; But Vision Must Overcome Zoning Hurdles

Quote:
BELLAIRE, Texas – (By Michelle Leigh Smith for Realty News Report) – A major development is being planned for the former Chevron property in Bellaire.

The 30-acre tract shines with potential with frontage on Loop 610. It’s just over a mile from the Galleria. And it’s near hundreds of million-dollar homes.
Investor Danny Sheena of SLS Properties recognized the potential and he purchased the property from Chevron last year.

His plan, as uncovered by Realty News Report, calls for a 300-unit mid-rise residential tower atop a new parking garage, a movie theater, a 145,000-SF mixed-use building with office space and several restaurant-suited pad sites near South Rice Avenue.

Bellaire’s Development Services Department received two requests from Sheena on behalf of SLS West Loop, LP last month for which the City leadership has stalled on several Freedom of Information Requests from reporters and residents. In mid-June, Realty News Report obtained copies of the requests.

Sheena will ask Bellaire’s Planning & Zoning Commission for approval of a proposed zoning change and a recommendation to City Council for a Planned Development-Multi Family project that he envisions as a destination mixed-use development.

His submittal also outlines plans for four perimeter one-story buildings that could be used for retail or restaurants and a 145,000 SF three story “Interior” building for retail or restaurant/health/entertainment with third floor office space. Kirksey Architects is working on the plan.

Bellaire’s Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing is reviewing the plan. To move forward, the plans would require a green light from the Bellaire City Council as well.

It’s an ambitious plan by Sheena. A possible roadblock is the site is in the City of Bellaire, a municipality (population 18,000) with strict planning codes. The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission may thwart Sheena’s plan and extinguish his vision.
