Agreed. I hope that if Aris fills up quickly, we will get another MSP area high-rise announcement soon. One of Hines' spots, the Intl Tower spot, the lot next to the ballet center, and the lot with the chase bank drive through are all pretty key. A bit further away, but I still think that the northeast corner of Main and Prairie could be a fantastic spot for a massive mixed-use project.

Is the glass 90% full or 10% empty? Sheez. The Interwebs tell me that Houston's overall vacancy rate is roughly 6.5%, so 10% on a newly opened project in a market segment that's had exponential growth over the last couple years seems pretty danged good.

Wow! This area has never looked better. I wasn't sure I'd ever live to see the day that Midtown Houston would look this good.

Duplicate topics merged. Carry on.

This lot is my favorite undeveloped lot downtown right now. Hopefully a huge mixed use project gets built here as you mentioned.

"The leasing milestone, reached in December, shaved three months off Woodbranch Investments Corp.’s projected 15-month timeline and signals downtown is no longer limited to 9-to-5 office workers and theater goers. Bars and restaurants, food halls and parks are catering to a growing population, thanks to incentives provided by the Downtown Living Initiative. “I really enjoy the way downtown is coming back,” Woodbranch Investments CEO Philip Schneidau said. “In the evening, people are walking around in Discovery Green, and Market Square Park. It’s really getting to be a nice neighborhood feel to it after hours, versus the business feel during the day.” Downtown has grown to about 6,000 residential units, up from 2,500 at the start of 2014, according to the Central Houston and the Downtown District." Almost goes without saying that the downtown living initiative really spurred some of these developments. What are the chances of there being a second round?

Small incremental changes have happened on the park place lot. There was previously a leasing sign posted on the corner of mid lane. That has been taken down and now there is a nicer park place sign on westheimer and another sign on the north west corner, on mid lane. They also repaired the back alley driveway near the rail road tracks. I bet they start construction soon.

Was browsing the sold permits and stumbled upon this: http://www.cohtora.houstontx.gov/ibi_apps/WFServlet.ibfs?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&IBIWF_msgviewer=OFF&IBIAPP_app=soldpermits&IBIF_ex=sold_permit_d&CLICKED_ON=&PN=17083901&PT=13 I couldn't find an exiting thread, but feel free delete or ban me if this is nothing or is posted somewhere.
