The rendering posted is HKS's handiwork. I'm a fan of the concept. At this point, the Redstone/Stream conceptual plan that you're looking at calls for (1) a 20 story office tower that consists of 12 stories of large floorplate office (each floor over 33k sf, thus approx. 370k sf in total) sitting atop 8 stories of parking, (2) a taller approx. 30 story hotel/resi tower with 297 hotel rooms and 100+ resi units and (3) just under 75k sf of accompanying ground level+ retail.

~20 story office tower
~30 story hotel/residential tower
~Ground level retail

Hey guys, thought Id let you know, the Embassy Suites [22 stories] at Discovery Green is having a ground breaking ceremony on May 26th! The mayors going to be there and all that jazz!

Link to article
http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/s...8/daily34.html

Just in case anyone forgot what this project is, here you go. Its the light brown tower next to OPP. Checkmate, one more parking lot gone! 8 1/2 vacant lots just in and around Discovery Green than have been filled in just a couple short years. Now we just have to wait and see if that last convention center hotel will be completed anytime soon. But hey, I dont care, Im just glad we got ES.

GBI International Injected a New Stimulus to Further Prop Out Houston Asian Town

Stimulating Local Projects

When some investors are lingering on the sideline to be spooked when confirmation of economic weakness materialized, GBI envisioned a new stimulating project, including commercial, residency, and warehouse buildings.

The Twin Towers, two 12-story buildings consisting of approximately 250 four-start luxury condo rooms, 192,000 square feet professional office space, 40,000 square foot conference center, and a 10,000 square foot international bank, is estimated $92.5 million.

Central Park, an approximate $350 million project, gauges 476,000 square feet of commercial space and seven high-rise condo buildings with 812 residential condo units.

The Twin Tower and Central Park, both located in Asian Town/Houston, touted the prospect not just as Houston's conquest on business diversity but as an ideological turning point, one could embrace commercial bank, professional office space, and resident condominium, likening the conventional segregation between commercial and residency sites.

Foreign Trade Zone, approximated $213 million which GBI acquired 340 acres in Fort Bend County to be developed, has approximately 7.5 million square feet of office warehouse buildings.

Residential projects, New Horizon Villas, Villas at Ashford Point, and Fondren Gardens, comprehend the spectrum from high-end to lower middle income families, which has a $41.3 million value.

GBI's 6 local projects with launching $700 million pave the way to resurge Houston's booming economy by bringing more business and job opportunities. They also target to make Asian Town to be another hot tourist spot in Houston.

...and the Presentation...

I was there today at the ceremony and Ill post a bunch of photos tomorrow. Actual groundbreaking for Embassy Suites wont be until thursday or friday. But the head of the project said that for sure, construction will be started on it by the end of this week. Mayor White was there too and I got to speak with him briefly and he said that hes very excited about this project and knows that it will bring more new development to that area.

Complex01 · #**2540** Posted **May 27, 2009, 3:20 PM**

Awesome news that project will start. Good to see this one happen....
