You mean a few months ago? They are rebuilding. Here is a link: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/b....html?page=all

Just a few weeks ago they decided to knock down the garage and rebuild it as well.

On the tract on the other side of Landry's from the proposed hotel, CBRE is taking offers and has set a deadline of November 18 (a month from last Saturday). The lot is 2.71 acres. No word yet on what it could be...

Deadline set for offers on vacant Galleria-area site

Yet another sign that there continues to be strong leasing demand downtown.

LNG company establishes headquarters in Houston

Parallax Energy, a new liquefied natural gas partnership, has established its headquarters at 1201 Louisiana in Houston...

And HBJ in its 10/24 edition has an interview with the co-CEOs of Just Energy. They are currently looking for 10,000 sf of office space.

BisNow has once again mentioned high-rise residential coming to the Galleria. No timing or details. From the article:

"4. Malls are still big here

We’ve got two major mall expansions in the works when enclosed-mall construction nationwide is all but dormant. The Galleria is growing—Saks opened a new 198k SF store, freeing up 110k SF in the Galleria to be subdivided into restaurants and retail. The mall is also adding a multifamily tower..."

We already know about it. ~300 units, residential over office and retail space. Just waiting on a rendering and more details.

Looks good.

Since Marriott is aFfiliated with Ritz-Carlton and they just opened a JW, is there a shot that Houston will ever get a Ritz?

Wow, that turned out better than I was expecting. I also agree that Ritz needs to come to downtown Houston. Downtown seems to be attracting more luxury projects, with the proposals for the Randall Davis condo tower and Hotel Alessandra, so Ritz definitely would belong.

The Methodist Hospital in the Woodlands just broke ground.

Houston Methodist breaks ground on The Woodlands hospital



And that's not all. The Texas 242 crossing of I-45 is ramping up:

Woodlands intersection primed for future growth

What does the 242 crossing have to do with urban development or highrises? Why's it here and not in the general development thread with other stripmallish shit where it belongs?

Yet more evidence the demand for office space continues: newly opened office of UK company looks for 20,000 sf of space:

Newly launched London energy company to open Houston office

"...Xodus Subsea is currently working with CresaPartners LLC to find about 20,000 square feet of office space in the Energy Corridor within the next few months to serve as the North American headquarters for the new company, said Matt Kirk, Xodus Subsea's managing director..."

The two hospital developments are the important elements; they only had a picture of Costco, though the Mercedes dealership might have also been of interest.

Wasn't all of that split off into the general development thread?
