Urbannizer Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The iPad has its drawbacks. I'm shocked urbanizer didn't catch this There are some cool plans for the memorial hermann I-10 tower area at this link http://www.pickardchilton.com/mobile/urban_mp.html Lol I didn't catch that one because it says "Southwestern United States" as the location. That is pretty nice though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swtsig Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 That memorial city plaza plan is so pie-in-the-sky it's absurd. That will never happen under MetroNational's watch.... Not while we're alive at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not while we're alive at least. darn you, realists! kidding aside, i do wonder if the area will become a "downtown" unto itself, not memorial city specifically. the retail in the area is very fragmented though.....my mind must be wondering in the sky pie.

If you look at the way the corridor between Memorial City and the Energy Corridor is densifying along with all the growth in the Westchase area, it makes it a pretty logical town center. There's already talk about another large mixed use going in next to City Centre. Edited July 23, 2013 by livincinco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm especially curious to see if the towers expand down the Beltway south of Richmond and join up with the lone tower in chinatown at the Beltway and Bellaire. There's a lot of commercial real estate, quite a bit undeveloped, down that way. Similarly there's been considerable expansion westward down I10 towards the Grand Pkwy. We might end up with a westside loop consisting of I10, Beltway 8, Westpark and the Grand Parkway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of Q1 2013, the CBD had 38.5 million sq ft of office space with nothing under construction (but a lot planned). The combined Katy Freeway and Westchase submarkets have 33.0 million sq ft of office space with 3.1 million under construction. Granted that covers a lot bigger space, but those areas are close to having the same amount of office space as the CBD already. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51808118/ColliersAttachments/Research/Q1_2013_Office_Market_Research_Report.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citycentre, MCP, briar lake, Phillips, town center, 10 west, dow site which is supposedly under contract to an end user... It's pretty cool.

Urbannizer Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 This would of made a nice change to the greenspoint skyline. Even though it looks like a few of the buildings going up in West Houston, I do agree. There was also another tower planned for Greenspoint back in 2009, around 20 stories high. That one was cancelled as well of course. Going a bit further back in time now, the Houston Center - Phase One.

brijonmang Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I wonder if this was planned for downtown ? If so it would be nice if it came back to life with the incentives program. It says it was part of Boulevard Place which would put it in Uptown. I think I remember some other renderings for this popping up in the BLVD Place thread at some point.

ChannelTwoNews Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) I wonder if this was planned for downtown ? If so it would be nice if it came back to life with the incentives program. I think this one was the initial version of the sleeker tower that Hanover proposed for the BLVD Place project. Not the one that's under construction but the one prior to it, pictured below. Thought it was cancelled or put on hold indefinitely. Then again the current BLVD Place plans and renderings show the above tower, with the same footprint still there along San Felipe at Post Oak Lane, so who really knows.
