Highrise Tower Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Is this next to the Regency House? There was supposed to be a residential addition. I see a faint of blue in the ghosted building next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookey23 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Interesting. Does anyone have a guess at where this project could land? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it could be the located next to the Regency House, 2701 Westheimer, or the Cabochon at 2828 Bammel. The site layout supports it, and I see a faint of blue on the ghosted building next to it. Lines up with the Cabochon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
004n063 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I would guess one of the lots next to 200 Park Place near all those super fancy shops off Westheimer. I base that on nearly nothing at all, but you asked for guesses. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanHTX Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I bet this will go on the original River Oaks District Phase II Site. It's likely the only plot large enough to support 300 units + parking in only 16 stories. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible the removal could be due to developers' desires to keep this under wraps for now. Who knows. Still, are you certain the rendering linked is for Captiva Westheimer? A reverse image search reveals the rendering is for Sonnet, a multi-family apartment in Washington D.C. https://www.greystar.com/properties/washington-dc/sonnet-apartments https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/renderings_reveal_market-rate_component_of_new_15th_and_u_apartments/12126 Edited December 3, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reverse image search reveals the rendering is for Sonnet, a multi-family apartment in Washington D.C. I can't say what's happening in this situation, but I have seen numerous times in the past where a development in its very early planning stages will have rendering that is from another building. I'm not sure if this is always driven by the architect, or the developer, but in at least one instance I know of, it was the sales department that needed a picture of anything of a similar scale to get people interested, and asked the architect for a picture of any building it had done with a similar number of floors. I imagine the same thing can be done at the behest of a developer trying to drum up support from potential investors. I remember one developer actually had an enormous cake made to look like a promised residential tower for a sales office grand opening, and the finished product wasn't anything like the cake. Not even the same number of setbacks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even the same number of setbacks. From architectural designers perspective, on the road to licensure, if the architect allows it then yes. This is because even with large development companies the "instruments of service" are the sole property of the Architect. If the development company knows they are going to do a project of similar type they could certainly ask the architect for permission to use materials from another project that they have done. At the office I work at now we have been using a template from one project for another the last few projects but that is only possible because we own the IP. I'm sure that's also in this case. If they took down the photo that might mean either the project is canceled, or they have signed a new contract with the Architect to actually develop the real project, and the architect wishes to have the prior images taken down as their original purpose is no longer required. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Jones Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 A source informed me that, per BuildPro/Captiva, this development isn't happening (at least not by them). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
