houstontexasjack Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The Ziegler Cooper description suggests a 34-story tower now. The rendering still puts it about the same height as the Hess building. I have to wonder how keen Trammell Crow would actually be to move forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they also mention an 11 story parking garage underneath? If that's the case, then it will be about 45 floors in total, no ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enriquewx91 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Such a great addition but I can't see this project happening with the current state of the economy in Houston. I hope I am wrong though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to one or two supertalls someday downtown 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 DG as a really neat "sunken" feel to it when you look out toward Hess and Houston Center. This tower would fill it in even more. If that Camden project in front of Toyota Center ever goes, the continuity of new development would be pretty big in what I vividly remember being a real wasteland pre-GRB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREguy13 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hopefully we get an update on this project in the coming weeks as the Marriott clears its staging area. Whether its shelved, delayed, or moving forward, any update would be appreciated. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if the developers switch to condos.... I guess that will largely depend on the Marlowe and its trajectory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Marlowe has sold 46 units with 49 left on the market. The good news is most of the 46 that have sold are the larger/higher priced/higher floored units. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if all of the pricier units are already gone, we can assume that the cheaper units will sell like hotcakes-- even quicker than the others. edit: (oops i forgot that we were talking about block 98) I'm assuming that he is hoping for Marlowe to sell out quickly, so Block 98 can rise soon.

UtterlyUrban Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 But if cheaper units sells fast, why haven't they already sold? the most in-demand units always sell first. The less in-demand units sell later and are sometimes hard to sell. I guess I still don't understand the point the poster was making. There may very well be "good news" at the Marlowe but I am just not sure what that might be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, it could lead to more dynamic developments in the next cycle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll encourage more development than if the opposite were true (meaning the cheaper units sold first and the higher priced ones languished on the market). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Got it. I understand the point now. Will it also mean that developers will be building fewer "less expensive" units and more expensive units in buildings? If what you say is true, I assume so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As more amenities (restaurants, entertainment, shops, etc.) pour into downtown making it a 24/7 destination, land prices will continue to go up and it will depend on how the developer can make their margins work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
