samagon Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 that one ghost dude kind of scares me a bit, is it an added attraction that it will be haunted? and what the heck is this guy on the left doing? using a set of binoculars to look at the lamp shade? talking on his phone and exasperated with the other person? drinking a beer with his hand over his eyes (look at me, I'm drinking a beer without looking!)? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I think he is looking out the window at the new 100 story building built instead of the Nau center 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 No one mentioned the skybridge to the Marquis that's back in the renderings..? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I think this is the rendering you were referring to? I'm pretty sure that's the existing bridge from the garage to the Hess building 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Unless they are doing 14'6" floor spacing like BG Group Place, this would have to be about 50 stories tall for this view to be right. It's right in line with the 40th or so story of BG Group Place here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I adore this project. But, my opinion is that it will not break ground anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Isn't TC fairly tight lipped about everything? I walk by regularly, the lot is still full of Marriott construction trailers. I would like to see a rendering from this angle. DG will be all closed in, which I think is pretty cool.

Triton Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 They REALLY need to start construction on this project in the next couple of months, or I don't see this thing moving for several years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 They REALLY need to start construction on this project in the next couple of months, or I don't see this thing moving for several years.Agreed. Sad but true. I really like this concept and I hope it gets built but I fear that it won't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would like to see a rendering from this angle. DG will be all closed in, which I think is pretty cool.10 years ago DG was not yet born, two huge surface parking lots stood in its place, one Park place, Hess, Marriott Marquis, Houston pavilions/ greenstreet.... was not yet built.We have come a long way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Urbannizer Posted February 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2016 Recently saw a start of 1Q 2017 for this one.. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Sounds much more aligned with the full completion of the Marriott Marquis. Still really excited about this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Recently saw a start of 1Q 2017 for this one.. With the local economy the way it is, I'm thinking 2018 or 19 will be more realistic. Thinking back to the Great Recession, many projects in Houston that were proposed in 2007 did not start until about 2012 and 2013. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 And some of those still haven't.... Regent Square. True but Regent Square probably has the largest footprint of any other project, even larger than River Oaks District. It's going to take a lot of commitment to get that one through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Well, looks like they waited too late for this project. New data is showing multi-family is absolutely plummeting in the Houston market, especially the higher-end category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I think this is such a choice residential area it will come about eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New data is showing multi-family is absolutely plummeting in the Houston market, especially the higher-end category. Has it spread to the downtown market yet? Last I saw was downtown and midtown were still strong, though that was a few months ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Has it spread to the downtown market yet? Last I saw was downtown and midtown were still strong, though that was a few months ago With all the residential about to come online downtown, it's probably hard to judge. I'm really interested to see prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Well, looks like they waited too late for this project. New data is showing multi-family is absolutely plummeting in the Houston market, especially the higher-end category. matter of perspective - i'm sure TC is thanking their lucky stars they didn't start 6-9 months ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
