I don't understand the omission of ground floor retail on so many of these buildings being built and proposed.

Another day, another apartment complex being demolished for a new one.

The 90-unit complex backs up to Hwy. 59 — er, Interstate 69 — just west of the Graustark St. bridge. It was vacated last September.

Good news for the Energy Corridor?

Energy Corridor office space doing better than expected

In approximately three years there is a high probability the the Houston MSA will surpass the state of Massachusettes in population, GDP, and land area.

Location: 100 Waugh Drive, Houston, Texas 77007

Description: A mixed-use podium structured project consisting of a 17 story residential apartment tower with amenity spaces and 14-story commercial office tower over 2 levels of below-grade parking and 10 levels of above-grade structured parking.

Has anyone seen or heard about this project? I am trying to figure out:

1. Is 100 Waugh really the address?

2. Is this the same project perhaps mentioned in this old article from 2013 or something entirely different?

3. Who's the Owner or developer for this mofo?!

We only knew mixed-use was being planned at the site.

Thanks JustCurious for the new info! And welcome to the forum.

Here's a better look at the rendering:

Sweet, do you mind me asking where you got the information and rendering?

Wasn't that a project that came and went?

TowerSpotter · #**8737** Posted **Apr 11, 2015, 3:20 AM**

Heres an interactive experiment I was doing.

HoustonHorns · #**8738** Posted **Apr 12, 2015, 1:45 AM**

Wow, that looks great, even though International Tower is unlikely to be built. Downtown is going to look so good in a couple years once these projects finish up.
