houstonfella Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 HBJ reports that a new set of twins are in the works for Uptown Houston. We have the 40-story Four Leaf Towers; but in the works now is a set of twins 35 stories tall. Any of you guys have renderings? This will definitely impact Uptown Houston's already cool skyline. I wanna see ...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonfella Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) Lookin' for links to this .... I was wondering if that is the area where the "42 story" skyrise was going to be built, but rather, did they opt for two 35s or if the 42 is still going to be built with the twins at another Post Oak Boulevard location. We need INFORMATION on this one. H e l p . . . ....... Edited February 17, 2007 by houstonfella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonmacbro Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) I saw an ad in last Sunday's paper for the 'Cosmopolitan' going up at 1600 Post Oak. Could that be it?From the picture it only appears to be one tower. Edited February 17, 2007 by houstonmacbro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigereye Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 ......every rendering Ive ever seen for BLVD Place (dating all the way back to Riva Place) has always included "Twin Towers" in its design. Thus I believe this is meant for BLVD Place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they mention the fact that these will be apartments and not condos, as I believe is listed for Blvd Place.Looks like we've got more towers going up in Uptown! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

houstonfella Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Sorry, Gary, for not providing the link, but as you see it was only a sniglet re: two 35 story highrises on the drawing board (nuttin' more). Guess we'll have to put out feelers for the scoop for this new project. Edited February 18, 2007 by houstonfella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The article reveals some interesting things;1) These two towers will go up on the corner of Sage and Westheimer on land that is currently surface parking for the JW Marriott and the Walgreens. That is good news.2) The towers are not set in stone. The article says they might build 3 but they will start with two that MIGHT go as tall as 35 floors.3) Additionally, the articles states that 800 condos will be part of the BLVD Place development4) Finally, it states that Turnberry is planning on building a 38 story tower. Original reports states it would be 42. Later, rumors came out it had been cut down to 34. Seems like they met in the middle!Whiteco developed the Dominion in Uptown, which is 92% leased. They also own land at 1900 Holcombe near the Med Center and rumors swirled about a year ago that they were planning on a 30 story apartment tower there... Maybe Baylor's new hospital will persuade them to go forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is that it, but nice try . . . strange thread, anywayfirst few sentences, need a subscription for the rest http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto.../19/story2.html condos by Whiteco Residential LLC Maybe that is the lot next to the McDonalds, that area is in a going high rise condo section of uptown, great place for infill. 4) Finally, it states that Turnberry is planning on building a 38 story tower. Original reports states it would be 42. Later, rumors came out it had been cut down to 34. Seems like they met in the middle! Damn, why is that article subscription only, and how in the world does a building lose and gain floors like that. And really, what the hell is that short building by the water wall serve it's purpose for anyways. So many question now. . . damn you HBJ!

Maybe Baylor's new hospital will persuade them to go forward?So let me get this straight, this project is seperate from the twin towers of BLVD PLace. So in Uptown's future, we might see.....1. Twin 35 story towers constructed 2. BLVD PLace twin towers constructed 3. Turnberry 38-story tower constructedIf all this comes to fruition, thats 5 significant new towers added to the Uptown skyline. Ladies and gentlemen - It might be time to start photoshoping what the future could look like in Uptown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Hizzy! Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I've always wondered why there weren't more highrises on the western stretch of Westheimer near the Galleria. Land is available and it would really be a "hot" location. If Kinkaid Alum's intepretations are true, then this would finally tap into that part of Uptown.Also:They're clearing land behind the former Eatzi's on San Felipe. Anybody know for what purpose exactly are they doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 This parcel is directly across Sage (West) from the Hotel Intercontinental. Great news, another defiled parking lot.A 38-story condo tower planned by Florida-based Turnberry Associates also waits in the wings just south of the Galleria between Hidalgo and West Alabama.Nope. Hotel Intercontinental is on 2222 W. Loop.Currently at the spot where I THINK it's going to be built on is a parking lot for the church right next door to the Hotel Indigo and the Embassy Suites hotel across from Macy's. As land become more valuable in the area, I wonder if that strip center on Sage (between W. Alabama and Westhiemer) is going to be priced out and built up?BTW: If someone has enough info on this new tower, I think a new topic thread should be started...or not..

I'm talking about the JW Marriot at Westeimer at Sage. The lot that the article is speaking of, is directly West (across Sage) in the Walgreens parking lot.
