2017? This one is at least a year from ground breaking. These two announcements puts me over the top in realizing Houston is booming, geeze. You know it is when downtown is getting all these resi projects.

I just hope they can keep up the momentum once the incentive money runs out! I'd at least expect them to stop putting retail in every project.

^Yes.  Finally we get a reasonable development next to that building.  The OLD Main Street masterplan from around 2002/3 mentions this area becoming a residential zone with a new park out in front of the Co-Cathedral.  While we may not be getting that, at least its a start.

Everytime I walk by it I would wonder at how it survived in that location.

How did they never get bought out.

They are sandwich between a hospital to the east and a cathedral to the west, Catholic property to the north and that drive through pappas to the south.

A ten storey building will tower over immediate neighbors. I think it will help greatly with the view from the southeast. The lack of height in that area of Downtown is crazy

Was really bored tonight and after a devastating Rockets loss, I decided to cheer myself up by counting the number of developments on the map and seeing how many of them replace surface lots or lots that are mostly surface parking.  I got 16.  I also counted how many blocks in downtown Houston are surface lots, or mostly surface lots/grass lots and I got around 62. 

 

Amazingly, within the next 5 years or so, roughly 26% of blocks downtown that are currently surface lots/abandoned buildings will be developed! 

 

Exciting times indeed for Houston.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

I like it, and it looks like it could be brick - which to me is a plus

 

In a way, it looks like a rubix cube just dropped into this block, haha.

 

I do think this shows the trend of the apartment buildings we are seeing in Midtown, but legitimizes it in a way. It will be concrete / steel engineered instead of wood - extending the life of this.

 

I think it will be a cool / edgy building.
