It doesn't look like it on the render. The site is also super, super tiny. I'd be surprised if they had much of any space left over for more than a few outside of the building spots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_787 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Pardon my ignorance, but is there an actual rendering for said high-rise? A 40 floor building is costly, and presumably the developers needed a rendering for/to assist selling this to their lenders (much less the public). I’ve seen the SketchUp model, but surely that was not the actual rendered building?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the developer's website, the rendering that has been posted several times on this thread appears next to the project "Aspire Post Oak": https://www.dinersteincos.com/properties/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_787 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Of course! Thanks! i knew there was something. I think I’m crossing my Uptown 40 floor building streams?!?? Seems there’s one tower with 40 floors and a SketchUp massing model that’s just not really sophisticated. Same property that Monarch -aka- G-Class (?) assumes/is hopeful for a future W Hotel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 There's a thread on here about the project. I believe its going to have 3 towers, one office, a hotel, and condo. It seems that one of the towers would actually be fairly tall. Not as big as Transco but up there. It will be nice to have some growth on the south end. It will give Transco some company and stretch the skyline. So it's almost from I-10 to 59. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 dang that last photo!!!!!!!!!!! and man i know it's just perception but that really looks so close to The Cosmo...I wonder how close the actual (new) sides of the building will be from it? Is there some kind of distance regulation for that? I am guessing there is but just curious to know what that is. (like can a parkour master climb to the top using both buildings!? haha ) (i will say that roof of Total Wine needs to be powerwashed...Cosmo should have used all their lawyer/legal money to pay for that instead!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Yeah I have seen a few on the weekends since so many already try to use short term whole foods/bank parking for the restaurants there and some park across the street rather than easily park in the garage 🙈...but its about to get WAY worse once Ninfa's opens at the corner of BLVD Place where Peska was... (i said it elsewhere but Ninfa's should have opened where Willie G's on Post Oak was or Anejo in Uptown Park was...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at the pace they are going we should see this break ground in a decade or so. Was down in the area yesterday. They really have made a significant amount of progress. Better than I hope. That end of the redevelopment might take a bit longer though as METRO is still trying to work with TxDOT to figure out if they are getting a flyover 59 to extend the route. I'm guessing they are halting to make sure that whatever right of way the redevelopment needs is over and done with by the time the project kicks off.
