Alec Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Holiday Inn keeps moving to the next and the next quarter. What is up with that development.I think Chingy is the general contractor on this project, because it sounds like they're chillin' at the Holiday Inn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 They do have a Holiday Inn sign up - though only about 8 feet up. And they have planted some grass and have a green fence around it. It might actually open in 4Q 2015...unlike the Texaco building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company isn’t ready to share any details about future projects, but told the Houston Business Journal to stay tuned. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/10/hines-poised-to-become-a-major-mixed-use-player-in.html Sounds like something in the inner-loop. (Sorry for weird format). Hines isn’t looking to build mixed-use projects for the sake of building mixed-use projects, Batchelor said. The developer will look at all the possible uses for a piece of land and if the opportunity presents itself, Hines will develop a “connected mix of uses” for the site, he said. Hines also plans to focus on building mixed-use projects in existing neighborhoods instead of creating walkable, urban environments from scratch. These neighborhoods should ideally be walkable to restaurants, shops, nightlife, grocery stores and public transit, officials said.“It’s hard to create that urban environment and that sense of community in a suburban setting,” said Kenton McKeehan, Hines’ managing director overseeing retail.

Mab Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I would love Hines to develop Northwest Mall it a great location and it a pretty big space for development. But I would not be surprised if Hines is developing in montrose I remember hearing they want to do a project in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 These neighborhoods should ideally be walkable to restaurants, shops, nightlife, grocery stores and public transit, officials said.Almost sounds like they are talking about Midtown. Perhaps somewhere near Wheeler station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I believe that Hines is going to create a mixed use development with the Menil on one of the sites between Richmond Hall and Mandell and Richmond and West Main. Theres already talk of a mid rise across from Imprint on West Main. It would be a great location and hopefullly on the University Line someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Once all the towers that are being built now are finished, what will our total high rise count be? Not intending to be snarky here, but it depends on how you define high-rise. We will have well over 200 buildings over 200 feet tall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 According to Emporis it is a building 35-100 meters or 12 to 39 stories.I suppose after this it is labeled a skyscraper. I know fire safety folks use a different definition based on how high their ladders reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Good luck on this. Tried using Emporis, on the first 19 pages got to over 300 existing or under construction. Thought that was the complete list,but more are listed later. Can't count now maybe later. We have a lot of highrises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I know Wikipedia and skyscraper forum have different numbers (using the 12 story rule) I was just wondering if they were current or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
