Hopefully that's the plan, and whatever they build on the KHOU site is taller and better than what they have now. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paco Jones Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 This post was recognized by Highrise Tower! Paco Jones was awarded the badge 'Superstar' and 100 points. Project: Project Green - Phase I Address: 1900 Allen Parkway Owner: Service Corporation International Developer: HINES Architect: HOK Information: New 13-story office building (203' height). Level 1 is lobby, 2-5 is parking garage, and 6-13 is office. Outdoor amenity terrace at Level 6. Total space (not including parking garage) is 245,160SF. SCI will occupy the building and leave two floors empty for leasing space. Site improvements include a 3-story office building (1919 Allen Parkway), a 12-story office building (1929 Allen Parkway), a 2-story residence (currently used for storage - 1904 West Walker Street) and a parking garage, totaling 6.99 acres, that will all be demo'd to make room for a new mixed-use development. I have attached a master plan of the complete development (last image). I have been waiting to share this until the development caught traction because of the efforts to keep this somewhat quiet. I can tell you that the Retail is planned to go next. 21 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freundb Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I hope this all happens. Let's make those future mixed use/retail buildings taller too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'd feel pretty good about this. I have no knowledge of the development, but it is Hines and they're kicking this off at beginning of a multi-year development cycle with a lead tenant for the first building. Guarantee they secure a great hotel flag, especially now with the Thompson a few blocks away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I talked with a guy who worked for SCI back in Sept. '21 while lost on my bike looking for the Dian St. Villas apartments. He happened to walk by and asked him where it was. We talked for a while about that and then he brought up this. He knew this was going to be built but didn't have a time line. He said mixed use would be involved. When I saw the surveyor stakes here months later, I figured something was up and that is why I stopped to take the pics. He mentioned apartments or possibly condos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimpton could use a site in Houston following the foreclosure of the Caydon development. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retail will be either 1 or 2 story. The rest is fairly conceptual at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 What's to become of the KHOU site? Might as well ponder that corner tiny lot on Temple & Walker too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the layout, the tower would be located where the station used to be. It's address was 1945 Allen Parkway, so I'm wondering if the tower will take that address as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just down the road by Waugh and I'd love for them to move forward on the Buffalo Heights District too. this area is starting to build up nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 That's my old parking space. I'll have to dig up the photos I took when Air11 crashed there. Does KHOU even have a helicopter anymore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Community Impact has a story about two new TIRZ in the city. I wonder if the city's plan to make this area a TIRZ is going to affect the plans that SCI has for the property or will it just be a way to get more taxes from them? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
