houstontexasjack Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 This site has been used as a laydown site for the Astoria condos going up on Post Oak. The sign for development remains out on the property (and the Master Plan remains largely similar to what was indicated above). Once the Astoria is complete, I wonder if we will see movement on this site--particularly with BHP Billiton and Amegy Bank building new headquarters nearby.

houstontexasjack Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I saw this go up. The reduction of a Hollyhurst building line may support the hotel thesis on the back of the property. Anyone else heard updates on this property (south of Landry's HQ)? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontiger Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Is something replacing the current Willie G's on Post Oak? This little stretch of Uptown is getting crammed with towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Is something replacing the current Willie G's on Post Oak? This little stretch of Uptown is getting crammed with towers. it's on the market... not sure what the status is. my understanding is the windhall apartments are under contract/sold to a multifamily developer as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 So, Inverness and Windhall will both be demolished in the not-too-distant future. The Post Oak corridor will look quite different in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Right behind the Astoria. I am already glad I do not commute to this area at rush hour as it is a nightmare to navigate. I agree that the Uptown and University lines make all the more sense to help move folks to the other business centers (it would be nice to take the rail to court instead of having to drive). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 A bulldozer has just been delivered to the Landry's site. Other 18-wheelers now appear to be delivering supplies to the site (outside of the fenced area for the Astroia laydown site). I am curious as to what may be moving forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClutchCity Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The proposals for Uptown just keep coming! It's going to have more density than downtown soon with all the 30 story towers going up or about to start! Gonna need more than just light rail with all the traffic though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Looks like a great project but thank God I do not work in the Galleria area. This section of 610 is now one of the worst highways in Texas and there's still more development in the works. There has to come a time when the congestion just gets so bad that it actually prevents any further growth, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Traffic is indeed abysmal around here. I get in the office later in the morning and leave later in the evening to miss the worst of it. I refuse to leave the office during peak lunch hour to seek out places to eat in the area (huzzah brownbagging). The bulldozer from yesterday is not on site now (or at least not within view from my office). I will walk by in a little while to get a better look.

It's going to have more density than downtown soon with all the 30 story towers going up or about to start! Gonna need more than just light rail with all the traffic though. What? Uptown is no where near as dense as downtown and definitely won't have more density soon. Uptown has a lot of projects under construction, but downtown isn't sitting still. There are well over 30 under construction/proposed projects in downtown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arndthwrld82 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Can we use eminent domain to make a better street grid in the area? This is quickly becoming a very serious question with all of the development uptown and suburban style street grid that is already gridlocked. It seems like something will have to change with the streets at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It's unfortunate that metros plan for light rail on post oak and the university line were halted by one person.

Triton Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Plans are under way for a major development project next to the headquarters of Houston restaurant and casino chain Landry's and its luxury car dealership along the West Loop near Post Oak Boulevard.The nine-acre property was the subject of a variance request made to the city of Houston's Planning & Development Department last week. A preliminary site plan submitted to the city shows the existing Landry's office building and Post Oak Motor Cars, along with several proposed buildings and a two-story conference center. The project name on the document is "1600 West Loop Hotel Building and Site."Landry's, which owns the land through affiliates, is named on the document, as is the Gensler architecture firm.Landry's chairman and CEO Tilman Fertitta declined to comment.http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/columnists/sarnoff/article/Popular-corner-of-the-Heights-goes-from-industry-5748823.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Mab had the lead on this earlier this year. Looks like we know what everything will look like with the exception of the hotel being taller. Although it looks like this 3-acre tract they were marketing is now part of this new plan and won't be for sale now. The loss of another potential tower, darn. http://newregionalplanning.com/upload/property2/610loop_flyer.pdf THe land is for sale but they are building a willie G's and a future hotel According to toxteth o'Grady on skyscraperpage the hotel will be a grand hyatt http://newregionalplanning.com/upload/property2/610loop_flyer.pdfIn this brochure For the lazies..
