10 story Medical office should Break ground in January or February. There is also a 6 story garage.

Lots of the adjacent sites Rice owns have submitted water/wastewater applications. This is to see if the sites can support the desired development and the cost of the associated impact fees.

starbucks would’ve loved to be on that corner. They want to be in the neighborhood, but are having a hard time finding a site that would pencil out. The land has gotten too expensive.

glad to have you back!

This is all of block 251, and portions of blocks 275 and 276. HCAD currently shows ownership as MIPS Investments / MIPS Parking.
