cloud713 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) It's broken ground apparently..http://m.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/04/fertitta-breaks-ground-on-mixed-use-project-with.html"Billionaire Tilman Fertitta announced April 23 he has broken ground on a mixed-use project near the Galleria.News of the project first broke in September, but he would not comment at the time.Now, Fertitta has revealed the project, dubbed The Post Oak, will combine hotel, office, residential, retail and restaurant offerings. San Francisco-based Gensler, which has a significant Houston presence, is providing master planning, architecture and interior architecture for the project. Houston-based Tellepsen is the general contractor.The 10-acre project will feature a 35-story, 650,000-square-foot tower, which will include 240 luxury hotel rooms, more than 120,000 square feet of boutique office space and 22 residential apartment units. Other notable amenities include a two-story spa and salon. There will be more than 1,000 parking spaces.The hotel rooms and suite will range from 500 to 2,000 square feet. There will also be a presidential suite and a 4,000-square-foot, two-bedroom chairman suites with private elevator access, a media room, an exercise room and a private terrace.The residential units will range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. The low-density, Class A office space will feature a separate secure entrance.In addition to the eateries in the tower, two restaurants will be featured with their own locations on the property. Mastro’s Steakhouse will open its first Texas location in a 10,000-square-foot space on the property. Willie G’s Seafood & Steaks, located in the Uptown-Galleria area, will relocate to a 10,000-square-foot space in the development.Elsewhere on the property, a ballroom and conference center will be adjacent to the tower. It will include main ballroom of more than 16,000 square feet, the largest in the area, according to Fertitta. It will also feature a two-story auto showroom for Post Oak Motor Cars, which is also at the development.The Post Oak development also will feature an open plaza, with outdoor dining patios, and landscaped pedestrian areas. Fertitta will preserve existing oak trees on the property and spend more than $1 million to transplant additional large oak trees.The development will be along West Loop South with access from Loop 610, Holly Hurst Street and Hallmark Drive. Landry’s Inc. headquarters building is already at 1510 W. Loop S.Houston-based Landry's, wholly owned by Chairman, President and CEO Tilman Fertitta, owns and operates more than 450 dining, entertainment, gaming and hospitality properties. It is the second-largest private employer in the Houston area, according to Houston Business Journal research."

wxman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Love it! Since it's Fertitta money, how confident are we of this getting built? I feel pretty good about this actually. Beautiful building!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I guess that would explain what all the equipment has been doing now that the surface parking has been finished. The rendering suggests they will keep the trees, and I think this will be a much nicer structure to look at than the Old Republic Title building next to the Landry's HQ. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 why is there literally no buildings shown between west loop and downtown? In reality its being filled in more-so everyday.

Montrose1100 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 i'm curious about the name of the Hotel. It surely couldn't fall under the "Golden Nugget" brand since it won't be a casino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Good for Dallas. This will look great along Stemmons Freeway, nestled among the Hilton Anatole and the Renaissance, not far from the Hyatt Regency and sparkling Reunion Tower.Wait - this is the Houston architecture forum?

Houston19514 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 it seems like a maze. why did they bother putting that surface lot in? makes it more cumbersome to work. Just guessing here, but probably because they needed room to park until the new parking garage is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
