      Hanover Autry Park: Mixed-Use At Allen Parkway & W. Dallas St.

      It's pretty explicitly not for people like me, but if it's built right, it could be 50 years from now. Unfortunately that's generally how new construction goes. Hopefully the Concept Neighborhood stuff is a little more accessible, but it'd be silly to expect anything in River Oaks to be for anybody but the 1%. The benefits are still universal, though. When the most agressively densifying mixed-use developments are concentrated in wealthy areas, the downsides of gentrification elsewhere are mitigated. All that said, getting rid of minimum parking requirements, minimum setback / maximum lot coverage requirements, etc. would go a long way toward making it easier to build smaller, lower-tab suites. Likewise, we could work making it easier to open food stalls in parks. Mexico City has an amazing park food culture that feels like something we could emulate in places like Discovery Green, Hermann Park, Buffalo Bayou / Eleanor Tinsley Park, Emancipation Park, Elizabeth Baldwin Park, and even Autry Park.

      Levit Green: Life Science Mixed-Use District By Hines

      Hines' new Levit Green life sciences campus near Texas Medical Center adds tenant Apr 15, 2024 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2024/04/15/hines-levit-green-life-sciences-pranax-tenant.html Houston-based Hines has landed another tenant for Levit Green, a 53-acre life sciences campus near the Texas Medical Center. Pinehurst, Texas-based PranaX inked a lease for a 7,400-square-foot, turn-key lab space on the second floor of Levit Green’s Building 1 at 6420 Levit Green Blvd., Hines said April 15. PranaX’s business focuses on using exosomes, or membrane-bound extracellular vesicles, to confer regenerative therapies aimed at treating aging, inflamed and damaged tissue and organs. The company recently entered into a technology licensing agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to commercialize exosomes as therapeutics, natural supplements and wellness products that can promote healthy aging.
