Work will begin within months on the first phase of converting Houston’s Glenbrook Golf Course into what the nonprofit Houston Botanic Garden hopes will be a marquee destination for visitors and residents alike.
Golf operations will cease at Glenbrook on April 1, Mayor Sylvester Turner said, in announcing Wednesday that the botanic garden group had met its commitment in its contract with the city to raise at least $20 million by the end of 2017.
The garden’s first phase is scheduled to open in late 2020, the mayor said, with site construction beginning next year.
The Botanical Gardens look great. Love that bridge.

The Hotel Blossom is going up in a barren, undeveloped portion of he TMC but the design is a bit high on the garish side.

The developer who recently acquired a Class B office building near River Oaks is mulling redeveloping the property into a high-rise residential project, he told the Houston Business Journal.
In November, Houston-based Morningside Capital closed on 3000 Weslayan, a six-story, 81,505-square-foot office building across the street from PM Realty Group's 2929 Weslayan, Houston's tallest residential tower outside of downtown. When asked about the company's redevelopment plans for the office building, Morningside co-founder Chris Calato suggested another project in the vein of PMRG's luxury development.
"You don’t have to have a great imagination to see what could go there," Calato said. "You could look right across the street."
Calato said that, at the earliest, Morningside Capital would look at redeveloping the property in late 2019 or early 2020. The office building is at least 90 percent occupied and tenants have a redevelopment clause in their lease that allows Morningside to cancel any office lease with 12 months notice.
Calato didn't disclose the purchase price of the building. The building was appraised at $8.3 million in 2017 by the Harris County Appraisal District.
Morningside Capital bought the property from Houston-based McCord Development. McCord Development owns and operates Generation Park in northeast Houston.
The taller the better.... perhaps something with a spire... or something twisty... or both!

When I saw the Block 58 material, they had renderings of the Residential project and it appeared to be as tall if not a couple floors taller than Market Square Tower with a lot of glass. Still subject to change, but this was back in January.
Quote:
Right so for background, I was able to review Hines Block 58 Marketing book that highlighted all on their new office project (Block 58) in great detail. On a few of the pages where they showed the impact on the skyline from different vantage points, they showed the proposed high rise on Block 42. The proposed high rise was clearly residential and looked to be as tall if not a few floors taller than Market Square Tower, with nearly all glass facing Market Square park. I have no knowledge of the project outside of these renderings - but the impact on the northern portion of our skyline was immense. Hopefully the filing of these plats are a good sign.

I think the Hines office tower (old HC site) is going to be a surface lot for a while but excited about the residential on the HC garage site.

There was an article Sept. of last yr stating construction would begin sometime this year. Hopefully it's still on track with the recent subdivision plat and Hines great track record.
HOUSTON — Arch-Con, a general contractor with offices in Dallas and Houston, is underway on construction of a 251-unit multifamily community within Redemption Square, a 52-acre mixed-use district in northeast Houston. Designed by Steinberg Dickey Collaborative LLP and Looney Ricks Kiss, the project will feature 17,000 square feet of retail space. Amenities will include a 75-foot pool, fitness center, a dog park, business center and multiple outdoor grilling areas. McCord Development is developing the property, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2019.
