Development List For Buildings In Houston

A good list of what's going on downtown.

I guess it is important to keep in mind that after Exxon's old building is renovated and hits the market it'll add 1.2 Mil sq ft of vacant space around 2017, which hinders the chances of too many major office developments from happening downtown without more good absorption news. Add that with the possibility that Chevron could vacate 600k+ sq ft around the same time in the Allen complex and I think we can officially say 5 AC will never happen. ;)

Nice...

 

Residential projects include a 397-unit apartment building near Minute Maid, set to open in 2015, and a 24-floor residential tower called SkyHouse Houston. The latter, which carries a $60-million plus price tag, will include 336 units on Block 350.

 

In anticipation of the 2016 Final Four, Houston First is working with Rida Development to build a second convention center hotel with about 1,000 rooms.

 

New office buildings are also on the horizon.

 

Skanska is in pre-development work on Capitol Tower.

 

New office towers are also in the works at Hines Block 69Brookfield's Block 902 and Block 43.

 

In school development news, the parking lot at Block 77 downtown has been identified by HISD as the site for the new location of the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.

Stumbled upon the new edition of the downtown development map and there's a "potential" Crescent office building(#15). Just wondered if anyone knew about it. Seems to be a lot of activity on the north side and along the new rail lines. It's on a parking lot which would be nice to get rid of.

It also gives a nice summary of what is going in and what has been accomplished

 

That was a good read, thanks for sharing.  Nice to see everything put into one presentation.  Lots of positives to take from that, have there been any recent plans or releases for the next phase of Buffalo Bayou? I'd really like to see those.

I can't find it online but there was a nice write up in the Saturday paper about Buffalo Bayou.  Also if someone could post it, there is a bad ass looking development for Hermann Park going on as well.

Updated development map looks like they did a good job keeping up with all the new projects sprouting up downtown. It's good to see all the planned and under construction blocks and can't wait for more details to surface because they didn't include Hines' multifamily and Hilcorps new tower.

Looks like they left off the Hines proposed Market Square Residential and the other 30+ story residential as part of hotel conversion.

Wow!  Downtown is going to be a madhouse by this time next year with all of the construction:

 

Marriott Marquis

GRB Parking Garage/Retail

Nau Center

500 Crawford apartments (Finger)

HSPVA

Chevron (1600 Louisiana)

609 Main at Texas (Hines)

Hyatt Place

Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites

Holiday Inn/Savoy

Bell/Leeland/Main/Fannin Apartments

 

The above I think are all either certain or highly likely to be under construction by mid-2014.

Potential Hines Residential Tower at Market Square? i remember hearing something about that possibility, but i always thought they were referring to the Linbeck International Tower and that the design got switched over to offices from residential or something, ha. so 2 possible new towers at Market Square? very nicee.. any renderings/articles/threads about the residential tower? sorry, im a little excited. this is the first ive seen of anyone officially acknowledging it.

I don't understand why Hines can't buy those low rise(1-2 story) buildings at the southern end of the block and give the tenants some ground floor retail space in their new tower. That way they have more room to work with and gives the tenants some state of the art space in nice building(I think Hines should let them own it like a condo deal so they retain ownership of the same amount of space they originally occupied to entice them to say yes).

I believe Swamplot and the Chronicle reported on the Hines residential building, but I don't remember if we created a thread for it.

I'd rather we keep the older buildings in place. They add great character to the area.  There is no shortage of space for Hines' new development.

Agreed. I'm not sure which "1-2" story building your talking about, but I'm glad they are building around the 10-15 story buildings on the east side of the block, creating a multi building, more "urban" setting. A few people were upset about Hines not building around the Texas Tower at 609. I guess that one was already empty though and it was just easier for Hines to knock it down than take ownership of it and try renovating/leasing it out.
