Urbannizer Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks to lockmat for discovering this one. A Hyatt Regency is planned, but anyone know the exact location?

lockmat Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Found this but I doubt it's the same project since buildings are there. http://m.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2013/03/galleria-plaza-gets-new-owners.html?r=full 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_757 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Makes sense that it would be near the Galleria, though honestly I think there is also a shortage of hotel space in/near the TMC. I think that Mariott is almost always booked with out of town guests seeking medical treatment or there for a loved one. I'm guessing the new hotels in downtown can accomodate some of them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Galleria Plaza? http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/03/galleria-area-complex-changes-hands/Seems to be right. The link does say they plan to add a new project, and the name of the new owners of Galleria Plaza is on the rendering.

Houston19514 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 It looks like the low-rise portion of that rendering may be a re-hab of the existing shopping strip along Sage, with the hotel being added on the current surface lot at the corner of Sage and Alabama. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowerSpotter Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Does that mean they would demolish what's there? Simon Group had planned a 300 unit high rise in the corner of Sage and Alabama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the map it seems that would be the only place to add something. Looks like they would extend the retail to the street too, doesn't it? Towerspotter, do you have a reference for that? It's not ringing a bell for me. Edit: that would be on the north east corner Towerspotter. Edited November 13, 2013 by lockmat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 this project and the Galleria residential high rise are two different corners of Sage and Alabama, correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 An Atlanta developer has broken ground on a hotel next to the Houston Galleria, the newest real estate project in an area that's seen a surge of development in recent years. The property, a 325-room Hyatt Regency, is being developed by a partnership between Songy HighRoads and the Carlyle Group at the northwest corner of Sage Road and West Alabama. Most of the retail space will be demolished to make room for the new hotel. Songy said the shopping space was only about half full when the property was purchased. Two retailers, a spa and a tailor, will stay in the complex. Designed by Gensler, the Hyatt will have 350-square-foot rooms, 20 suites, 15,000 square feet of meeting space and a large fitness center overlooking a pool deck. The hotel will be 14 stories tall and total 260,000 square feet. Aimbridge Hospitality will manage the property when it opens in late 2015. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/325-room-hotel-headed-to-Galleria-area-5056518.php 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It's not an atrocious design. I will wait until the final product. I bet we will be surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It's not. But Hyatt's just aren't what they used to be. Before they were anything but boring. This design looks like it could be any Marrihilaton. I'm sure it'll be nice though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
