That looks nice.
|
Wow. That's bigger than I thought it would be. It rivals BLVD Place. The 3 tall buildings (if the scale is correct) look to be 350 to 400 footers.
I like the look of this one much more than I do the High Street proposal next door. |
I really hope the Westcreek Development happens.
|
too bad they are replacing the westcreek becuase they are nice apartments. there are lot of other dumps i'd like to see replaced by this.
|
best part is that it's inside the loop. i wunder wut this wuld look like near midtown. :)
|
The demographics aren't in Midtown. That is why so many of these developments are falling west or far west of downtown. There are 150,000 people in a 3 mile radius of this development and the average household income in that radius is around six figures.

Great stuff. That looks like a pretty small block for about 150(?) people. I believe Jackson has about 50 units. Do these blocks usually have a diverse arrangement of sidewalks? Seems like the developers do their own thing for each project.

I beleive they do but i am not sure.

GREAT NEWS!
Globe St. is reporting that the Regent Square (former Allen House Apartments on Allen Parkway) will break ground on phase I later this year. Phase I will consist of 230,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space, 60,000 square feet of office space, a 200 room boutique hotel, and 740 residential units. http://www.globest.com/news/885_885/.../159787-1.html |
Glad this is happening!

Developer Unveils 24-Acre Mixed-Use Plan By Amy Wolff Sorter HOUSTON-A Boston developer will break ground in the fourth quarter on Regent Square, a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use project. Area sources estimate the all-in development cost for the 24-acre project could come in just under $200 per sf. Regent Square, which will be constructed in two phases, will consist of 390,000 sf of retail and office space, 200-room boutique hotel and up to 1,800 residential units. The first phase will consist of 230,000 sf of retail and restaurants, 60,000 sf of office, the hotel and 740 residential units. The planned opening is 2010. The second phase's start will be based on market demand. The project site contains the Allen House apartment complex at 3601 W. Allen Pkwy., which is bordered by West Clay, Tirrell and Rosine streets. "We originally bought this during the mid-1980s' oil bust as a wonderful piece of property with an income-earning asset on it," says John Darrah, vice president for GID Urban Development Group. "The notion of doing this type of mixed-use development on the property occurred to us a couple of years ago." Darrah tells GlobeSt.com that escalating urban sprawl and growing commute times contributed to the decision to make Regent Square a residential and retail center. "We felt that, in the inner loop area, there's enough of a land constraint to make this dense of a development, one that will hold up and hold its value over the next 40 or 50 years," he adds. Doug Childers, associate principal with Morris Architects in Houston, acknowledges building an urban mixed-use community such as Regent Square can cost more money up front than a standard mixed-use project. For one thing, the majority of parking needs to be underground to maximize pedestrian space and aesthetics. But Childers, whose company is one of the architects for the project, says Regent Square will have an active retail component, which will help recoup costs. "I'd expect this would increase the market share overall of the River Oaks region. And, more people will come from out of the area," he says. The list of architects include David M. Schwarz/Architectural Services Inc. of Washington, DC; Robert A.M. Stern Architects of New York City; Aponwao Design of Miami; B&D Studio of Parma, Italy; Hartman-Cox Architects and Bowie Gridley Architects, both from Washington, DC. Free construction services are being provided by J.E. Dunn Construction Co.'s Houston team. NA Berkowitz Development Group Inc. of Birmingham, MI is handling retail leasing and GID will handle residential leasing. |
Great news.
Here is the layout of how the development will fit in with the street pattern. I don't know about you all but I am excited about this one the most. Nice to see such a large development that does not totally lay on private streets. http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9889/regentvl5.png |
What a great project. It's amazing what a lot of planning, collaboration between building and landscape architects, and a little vision can accomplish.
What a great location to and a complete upgrade of the existing structures. |
I agree what a great project, if i still live in Houston, by the time its done, i would not mind living there...

This project was posted on Haif earlier by WesternGulf just figured it needed to be up here also =) Westheimer Tower http://www.allenbianchi.com/projects...t_auto_id=4904 http://houstonx.com/blocktower.jpg |
If an architect wanted to create opposition for a project this would be it. The garage for the project looks like it would sit pretty close to Avondale. Located on the 500 block of Westheimer. Most of the businesses on this strecth of Westheimer are single family home businesses and the neighborhood is one of the many that have signs in their yard to make this part of Houston a historic district.
|
Build it!
|
I am liking the layout of the project WesternGulf posted. Should be a nice addition.
Also, build the Westheimer Tower! |
|
I like the looks but they must make it fit.
|
c4smok and I are trying to make a map of some of the major developments happening in the city, and I need some help. Specifically on the TMC devlopments. With what is already on the map, are there any other projects u/c, approved, or proposed that anyone would know the intersection that they fall on. Thanks.

Isn't there a residential project slated for across Holcombe from the Life Sciences Center development? I wish I could remember the name of it, but I believe it was Shasta who posted the info earlier this year.
|
Not sure if this has been posted:

Ok, I am guessing the Belle Meade is the site u/c at Ferndale and Westheimer. Any more details on that one? I will look closely to see if there is a rendering on site.
What is Braeswood Place? I will also try to get the rendering for the Alexan a few blocks east of Shepherd on Westheimer. |

Grayco Partners are doing the Belle Meade at River Oaks, Museum Place, and the Braeswood deal. You can find renderings for the Belle Meads and Braeswood here...look under current projects. Thanks for putting that map together. Very cool.

I had no idea something like this was possible...
|
Something like what?
|
Briar Forest
Does anyone know anything about the construction project at 13202 Briar Forest?
|
looks like some kind of shopping center next to briarlake plaza and they are rebuilding walnut bend elementary across the street.
|
|
Nice photos of the med center. The growth there is out of control.
Here are a few more projects for your map, WesternGulf... Alexan Westheimer Square 2001 Westheimer Road (near Shepherd) 244 units, 6 stories tall Alexan Kirby Kirby @Colquitt 230 units http://www.ediarchitecture.com/multi...rby_r2_c10.jpg Houston Fire Museum (midtown on Main St) http://cbarch.com/images/fireaxobig.jpg http://cbarch.com/images/firefrontbig.jpg |
You know, I really like the design of the Braeswood, given its location. The design seems to fit in with the MCMs that line Braeswood Blvd. as it heads to the east of the location.
|
I was under the impression there would be other uses for this superblock. Hrm...
|
Hi every1 im new to the forum just wanted to say hi.
|
Hello
|
Yes, welcome.
By the way, I see official advertisements for the Highland Tower at the old Central Ford site. I hadn't noticed it before. Shows what appears to be about a 12-15 story tower done in beige stucco with a brownish-red rooftop (terrace?). Looks like it would be well at home around the Waugh/Allen Parkway/Memorial Drive area. |
Welcome rocktgrl!
Yeah I saw that rendering too Hizzy albeit going 50 mph. It looked good from my short glimpse. Totally not the same development. I may have to go back, stop and get pics. (But I am sure you all have noticed how reliable I am with that. LOL. I'll try.) |
It will be interesting to see if the Columbus Flats sell well. They are building 14 smaller units with most priced under $200,000 in the River Oaks/Montrose/4th Ward area.
http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/Me...r1903548-1.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/Me...r1903548-3.jpg I also noticed this new condo going up on J STREET!!! This will be one block off of Navigation Blvd on the east side of Lockwood. Man, the gentrification is spreading pretty far to the East. http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/Me...r1902615-1.jpg |
