There seems to be a huge surge in support from the legislative in Austin, along with the Governor also expressing support of the endowment. This also along with a $50 million appropriation for "institutional enhancements" in 2021 from the state that they've never received before, which is a type of funding UT/TAMU has been receiving for years, seems show a favorable push for something like this.

https://stories.uh.edu/2022PresidentPubLegislative/index.html Speaking of government funding, UH intends to ask the state for a $1 billion permanent endowment during the 2023 legislative session. At first providing an extra $40-$50 million/year disbursement to the UH system, with the potential to grow it like the other state funds. This in addition with UH's current endowment of $1.103 billion (2021) will allow for a much needed boost in funding, especially for its goals to be a top 50 public university, and an invite into the AAU. Also, should allow for easier funding of campus buildings and ultimately higher quality projects. Should be a treat for us Haifers in the future.

It must have some type of architectural feature/spire at 31 floors and 512 ft. Parkside residence by discovery green is 43 floors and clocks in at 468 feet, along with Brava at 46 floors and 549 ft. Wonder what the new design is?- 199 replies

Sadly, there's a good chance it will block the lower bowl view. While part of the stadium will lose what would have been an amazing; ever improving view of the Houston skyline, the university will gain a much needed facility in its move back to a major conference after a good 26 years. The FOB is pretty much a necessity in the move and should greatly improve recruiting success and in turn on field success, all leading to greater alumni participation which will help many other aspects of the university.

Discovery West: Skanska Downtown Mixed-Use Development
TheSirDingle replied to Moore713's topic in Going Up!
This oil boom should allow for a good buffer and boost to our technology and life science industry. Gives Houston more time to prop up (maybe even dominate) other industries without having to go through a massive dry spell like we did in the 80's. Looks like a bright future ahead, hoping this coupled with the increased tech and life science investment allows for a massive but continuous boom for the area.- 609 replies

University of Houston Football Stadium
TheSirDingle replied to KinkaidAlum's topic in Third Ward and University of Houston
With the recent conference realignment news, and acceptance for that fact, I went dinging around for some of the old TDECU 60k renderings and plans. I'm hopping in the near future there's going to be a need to expand the stadium, although this should be a given if they're competitive in the BIG 12. Also, does anybody have any other renderings of the expanded stadium; or just old renderings in general? -
It's the SEC this time around, but I'll give you slightly accurate pre-cog credit. Anyway, it's about damn time

Just wow... Also new Master Plan: https://www.tmc.edu/tmc3/master-plan/ Economic Impact: https://www.tmc.edu/tmc3/economic-impact/ Going to be an insane short and long term impact on the economy, and an absolutely wild amount of permanent jobs created. It also brings an astounding "815k Sf of public parks" in that iconic helix formation or as they call it the "Helix Gardens". At last it seems like phase one is a lot more buildings than I previously thought.

Just to repost and to get a better idea of the progress I'm going to repost the 2020 master plan - Site Plan N (Just the top-upper mid portion of TMC3) So currently they're erecting Parcel I and Parcel C, which can be seen thanks to @Highrise Towerand @hindesky posts above. I'm betting the industry building (Parcel D) will start next, but I'm not too sure about anything after that. Although, going off the 2020 State of the Texas Medical Center video, the hotel might go up a little bit after Parcel D. Now for the Baylor and UT buildings south of the Parcels listed, I have a feeling they will start in tandem with whenever Parcel E and F start going up.
