Nate99 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ahh more likely. I was about to say, isn't Baker Hughes doing terribly right now? Commensurately so with the rest of the oilfield service industry. They are also in the midst of a fitful attempt to merge with Halliburton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 "Theater Square" sounds like it would make for a nice condo development name. Given how hot that market has been of late, I wonder if a developer would make a go of a condo development in this part of Downtown. I think presales for the Marlowe have been slower than in other parts of the city, but a developer looking at a longer timeline for presales could take advantage of the remaining Downtown Living Initiative incentives for this project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Linbeck Group, L.P. is the Grantor under the modification referenced in the plat and also appears to be the Grantor under the original Deed of Trust. The same Linbeck employee signed on behalf of the Theater Square, L.P., so it would appear the development of this parcel is Linbeck-run show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Can't believe it's only appraised at $5.5 million when the Hines Aris half block site sold for $9 million and the Chronicle site just sold for over $50 million.

Urbannizer Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Since this is the same group behind International Tower and most likely an office tower, I went ahead and merged the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Huge Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 But when there is no subdivision? It's one solid block; there doesn't appear to be any subdivision going on.I just now caught this. Ha, my post had nothing to do with what you had posted. I was just confused by the word "subdivision" in the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigereye Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) If it is an office building, could it be one of the optional International Tower designs since this is the same group. Edited October 8, 2015 by tigereye 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I don't know why that says it's appraised at $5.5m. Old data? HCAD puts the block at about $19m, but for some reason it's two separate records (one for lots 1-10 and 12 at $17,253,700 and one for lot 11 at $1,879,922): http://www.hcad.org/records/details.asp?crypt=%94%9A%B0%94%BFg%84%8D%80zlg%8El%87tXtaW%9E%99%A2%D3%89%95%C2e%7CU%8A%81%86%C0%AB%A8%AD%86%5E&bld=1&tab=2 http://www.hcad.org/records/details.asp?crypt=%94%9A%B0%94%BFg%84%8D%80zlg%8El%87tXuXW%9E%99%A2%D3%89%95%C2e%7CU%8A%81%86%C0%AB%A8%AD%86%5E&bld=1&tab=2 It even shows Theater Square as the owner of the block since 11/16/1999, so there's nothing new there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It would appear the replat is designed to eliminate the lot distinctions and convert the whole property into one big unrestricted reserve. I am not sure about any prior restrictions on the individual lots, but this replat could just end up being much ado about nothing--I would think it would be easier to convey one big unrestricted, undeveloped parcel than a number of small lots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conveyance is based on legal description, so it doesn't make much difference if the parcels are combined or not. All the times it's traded hands in the past, the parcels weren't combined. Now if you build something on it, that is when it makes sense to combine parcels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If you're going to post rumors, at least provide all of the information.It's a 102-story W Hotel. While I know your comment was tongue-n-check, is this lot even large enough to house a tower in the 1200 to 1400 foot range? I would think for a tower that tall you'd need a pretty large base...far larger than anything we've seen in Houston to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think for a tower that tall you'd need a pretty large base...far larger than anything we've seen in Houston to date. Take a look at any of the supertalls going up in NYC right now. Granted the bedrock is quite a bit harder, but width isn't much of a limiting factor anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think for a tower that tall you'd need a pretty large base...far larger than anything we've seen in Houston to date. How tall do you want to go? How much money have you got? The new One World Trade Center is ~270 feet square at the base, our blocks are 330 feet from street center to street center. 432 Park in NYC takes up about 1/3 of one of their blocks (really long between avenues), but looks like it would fit in a Houston block. I think they could do it if they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 432 Park Ave in NYC is 1,396' and the base is only 180' on a side; this block is 250' per side. So yeah we could totally get a super tall on this block. Chase tower is 75 floors and it is only one block. Are there any skyscrapers in Houston that are more than one block? The only one I can think of is Houston center, and even there the towers are smaller than the blocks underneath them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/432_Park_Avenue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The Bank of the Southwest Tower was to have been 1404 feet tall and took only one block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
