TheNiche Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I spoke with the developer this morning. Business seems solid, and although a lot of the details are still very much up in the air, he's hoping for groundbreaking in about six to eight months. I didn't get the sense that the tower would be quite as tall as it had initially been proposed, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 So does anybody know if this is actually going to happen? I am considering moving into that neighborhood and just wondering what itmight be like in 3-5 years if I end up staying...An urban style starbucks sounds good to me.

Jax Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Here's the link: http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...?showtopic=4593I'm wondering if anything is going to happen with this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I emailed the developer, he says it's on track for this year, but that's about it. The email address on the webpage (www.binzmedcorp.com) was an @msn.com address, not too professional for something of this scale.By the way, could we merge the threads?

Jax Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So the Children's Museum office building on Binz and Jackson is now complete, and I've noticed that they've started construction on the adjacent lot at Binz and Crawford. I think they razed an old house there (I could be wrong though, whatever was there was apparently unmemorable). Any idea what's up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahiki Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So the Children's Museum office building on Binz and Jackson is now complete, and I've noticed that they've started construction on the adjacent lot at Binz and Crawford. I think they razed an old house there (I could be wrong though, whatever was there was apparently unmemorable). Any idea what's up?I think the adjacent lot was formerly the CMH offices; now that they have the new office building, my guess would be that they are going to use the old lot for some other purpose--education, auditorium, offices, I don't know. But I am guessing that it still belongs to the Children's Museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So is this project dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks. I guess that makes sense. It will be interesting to see what they do with this block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 They're finished now. It was a parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 There is something else happening at Binz and Crawford. I drove by it yesterday and there was a sign up for a new office building with a leasing number. They had the rendering on the sign and it looked to be 15-25 stories. Anybody have anything on this?

Jax Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I just noticed that they cut down all of the trees on the site last week. It used to be a jungle on that lot. Any idea what's going on? My guess was that this project was dead a long time ago, and the current financial situation makes it even less likely that anything is happening, but I'm wondering why they clear cut the lot.

happytown Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Anybody? Maybe they're desperate for money and they are selling the trees for firewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahiki Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Anybody?Hey Jax, thanks for posting this question... I was wondering the same thing. I see it as a good sign. Though I suppose they could be planning to sell the lot, and want it to look more lot-like (as opposed to old-growth-forest-like). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I kind of miss the old growth forrest, but I would rather see a building on the lot.They are no longer responding to emails sent to the address on the Binz Medcorp website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalai Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I am a close friend of the new owners of this property and they tell me they cleared the lot because of letters they received from the HPD Neighborhood Protection to clean up the property. No one was sure why HPD would care, but my friends were threatened with a fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Is this the same location? A three-story office and retail development has broken ground near the Museum District and the Texas Medical Center. The 25,000-square-foot structure is being built across from the Children's Museum at 1401 Binz. http://www.chron.com/business/sarnoff/article/Sarnoff-Ministry-makes-Midtown-move-3706540.php http://www.baileyarchitects.com/projects.asp?indid=7&projid=116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
