ExxonMobil Chemical Campus Redevelopment: A first look at the site plan. PMRG is evaluating two different options for the $1 Billion-dollar project.
Plan A: Keep the existing office building. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7539/...6bba3890_b.jpg Plan B: Demolish the existing office building. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7477/...fbd7e78f_b.jpg Construction on the first office building and apartment complex is expected to begin in Summer 2015. |
Houston makes the national media again - this time for too much gentrification. And the poster child for this change is the Hanover River Oaks.
How oligarchs destroyed a major American city http://www.alternet.org/files/styles...9.28.29_am.png BTW, isn't the real poster child for all of this the Shenzhenification of New York City? |
The Chronicle's story on the Post apartments on 610 near the Galleria was notable not for the announcement of a five-story apartment that's been under construction for a month but for a map highlighting all the projects underway or in the pipeline...

Wow, great map! Thanks for sharing that. Btw, that was a very interesting article on gentrification in Houston

Not sure where miscellaneous pics like this would go but we have awesome views of downtown from my office on Canal & Navigation. |

Man, wouldn't the Downtown post office serve better as the High Speed Rail Station? It seems like the perfect spot besides Hardy Rail Yards which is also doing something similar to the post office. I just feel both are missed opportunities for the city to find land and proximity that the HSR needs.
|
It's good that some attention is finally being given to parts of the city that haven't been part of the boom. It's also encouraging that it is aimed at renters who can't afford to pay $2.80/sf for a living space.

I disagree that the post office would be a good location for the High Speed Rail Station. It's too small, in a back corner of downtown that doesn't get much development and is surrounded by highways. Because there is only so much space downtown to work with and we can't get a line to the center of downtown, I propose some vacant lots around Minute Maid Field as the prime location for future high speed rail transit.

Kavac LLC (better known as Fisher Homes) has been issued a permit for a multifamily "midrise" at 1011 Studemont. No details, other than these are podium type apartments. Permit was listed in this week's Houston Business Journal.

Another update on the Tema project for Hermann Park/Museum District, from Swamplot. First, here's the site plan:
http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...an-cropped.jpg The first two projects are 7 stories and horizontally oriented. Second, there is the encouraging word that the helix is still the helix. But it is 4-6 years away from being built: http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...7792688689.jpg |
^Why will it take that long to get built?
