The glass on the garage is starting to be installed.

The rendering is 😍 I used to live in Westmoreland, and it is so dangerous crossing at Holman. This would be a real benefit for the area.

This is a bit confusing. All the projects on file are by Hines-I thought they were no longer involved? Mill Creek Residential only does multifamily so will they control the apartment component? Or is this a recently scrapped proposal? I count 38 floors. https://adelaiderealestate.us/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Adelaide_Summary.pdf

New name: The Streets of Buffalo Bayou Park https://www.rebees.com/project/the-streets-of-buffalo-bayou-park/

I heard a comment that the contract is 3 years ahead of schedule on this, which sounds like a lot until you remember the original project scope was for over 9 years 😬

From Costar: The Texas Medical Center area is about to get denser with a new $426 million medical tower slated to rise near the quickly growing healthcare district. Baylor St. Luke's has started site preparation work for a 400,000-square-foot medical tower at its McNair Campus, across from the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, said Vanessa Astros, a spokeswoman for Baylor St. Luke's. The 12-story tower will be the new home of several facilities for the Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, a joint venture between the nonprofits Baylor College of Medicine and CHI St. Luke’s Health. The new tower adds to ongoing changes around the world’s largest medical center, where more than 106,000 employees work across 50 million square feet of space, according to the Texas Medical Center website. There are $3 billion worth of construction projects underway in the Texas Medical Center, according to the website, spurring growth in commercial real estate for the surrounding areas as this major employment hub continues to expand. Baylor St. Luke’s new tower is slated for a site adjacent to the future TMC3, the proposed 37-acre biomedical research campus with multiple buildings and parks designed to be shaped like a DNA strand. The new Baylor St. Luke's project does not yet have an exact address, Astros said. For now though, planners are using 7200 Cambridge St., the general address for the McNair Campus, which is north of Old Spanish Trail and west of Cambridge Street. Baylor St. Luke's has been developing the 35-acre McNair Campus over the past several years since forming a joint venture in 2014 and then selling the historic O’Quinn Medical Tower at 6624 Fannin St. to Texas Children’s Hospital in 2016. That tower was renamed Fannin Tower in early 2017, according to a spokeswoman for Texas Children’s. Developed by Hines, the 1990s-era tower is recognizable for its two spires resembling a pair of hypodermic needles. Since selling that tower, Baylor St. Luke's has gradually relocated some of its services to the new campus about 1.3 miles away. The campus, a 650-bed academic medical center, already is home to two healthcare buildings: the Lee and Joe Jamail Specialty Care Center at 1977 Butler Blvd., and the Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center building at 7200 Cambridge St. Baylor St. Luke's will bestow the former name of its original home, O’Quinn Medical Tower, onto the newly constructed 12-story facility, Astros said. The name is after late Houston attorney John O'Quinn in recognition of his $25 million gift to the hospital. With construction of the new tower, Baylor St. Luke's plans to relocate the remaining services from the former tower on Fannin Street and expand other services. The tower will house multiple outpatient services including radiology, endoscopy and an ambulatory surgery center. The building will also be the new home to the Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, which was ranked among the top 50 cancer hospital programs in the country by U.S. News and World Report. Construction is slated to start in May on the project, estimated to cost $426 million, according to Astros. The 427,000-square-foot facility will have an 8-story parking garage, along with new private roads and sidewalks, according to initial permitting documents filed with the state. The healthcare joint venture said in 2016 that the McNair Campus would eventually encompass $1.1 billion worth of capital improvements but it is possible those initial plans have changed. More details of campus plans are expected to be released later this year. Baylor College of Medicine is one of the founding institutions behind TMC3, along with the Texas Medical Center, Texas A&M University’s Health Science Center, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. The institutions are collaborating to build the expansive medical research campus to include shops, restaurants, residences, office, parks and plazas. About 5,000 square feet of office space is under construction in the Texas Medical Center area, which has a vacancy rate of 6.1%, one of the lowest rates among markets in the greater Houston area, according to CoStar analysts.

Looks like if the American Airlines Arena in Dallas had an apartment.

I like the girl standing inside of the bar stool.

Anyone feel like this will be a Heaven on Earth Inn in about 30 years?

Quite a long name. Are they hoping people will call it "The Streets"? I will call it The Streets of Buffalo Bayou Park Near the Corner of Allen Parkway and Shepard, Next to That Other Similar Development That Has a Different Name.

Everything wrong with the 70s is so popular right now.

^^^ "THE STREETS OF BUFFALO BAYOU PARK"...... seriously???

Still all office or did they add some retail and/or hotel?

46 stories w a bit of a crown.

Cities need to take more control anyway..Txdox doesn't give a damn about who has to live in these areas

It's called fashion kbates!

They just play U2's "Where the streets have No Name" on a loop the entire time youre there.

Drove by to see. Still cars for the other retail using the parking lot still. They are starting to dig up the back portion of the lot where the garage will go. I'm thinking that they are going to build the garage first and once that is done they will then shift people that use that other parking lot over to the new garage and then build the library. This is mostly based on my own intuition, so until I'm able to get a source to back it up take it with a grain of salt. I'll try to get pics of the excavation for the garage tomorrow during lunch.

Gotta say, this would open up a nice conduit from Montrose to The Innovation District and Mid Main.

2524 McKinney used to be the Axiom, a grunge/metal/punk/alternative venue way back when east of 59 was still a no-man's land. I agree with McKinney feeling prime for a bar/restaurant corridor, and especially that building with its cool history and that hanging arrow sign out front. I'd love to see some bike lanes on McKinney, too. They aren't needed quite yet because car traffic isn't too heavy, but as the area develops I'd love to have that route intact as it's the best way to get to downtown from many places in the Greater East End on two wheels.

I’m actually a fan of the old design. This is nice too, obviously.

That building and the smaller warehouse at the southwest corner of McKinney and Emancipation would both be good candidates to be renovated into either a bar or restaurant.

Light-up feature?

^^^ ok, enough with the KIBBLES 'n BITS scenario! maybe, just maybe, someone can deliver unto us proud HAIFERS, the approximate date/time... that the official new renderings/concepts may be hereby presented to the masses. props, in advance...

Had a chance to view these renderings. This building will have even more terraces than Texas Tower. I think this forum will be very impressed by the redesign. High quality project - hopefully it gets capitalized!

20th floor view.

tech is a broad term but it's the perfect type of tenant for this kind of development. don't think this is a nab from another city as i'm pretty sure they have an existing presence here but i could be wrong. either way it's a great anchor office tenant.

Went here a couple weeks ago and saw. Took some pics, but just completely forgot about it when I got back home. I'll post them later today or tomorrow.

The short answer is no. There's a lot of friction with the East End being referred to as the "dumping ground" for affordable housing options. In my opinion, any development is better than no development. Though it does seem like overkill along the Harrisburg corridor.

Agree. Forever 21 is going under. It had nothing to do with it being successful/unsuccessful in Greenstreet. And bookstores are in the same boat. Small independent bookstores are doing just fine because they offer a unique experience but larger ones like Barnes and Noble won't be around too much longer. I think any retail would work here.
