    I think the whole site has a sort of 50's, 60's commercial look to it, which I especially dislike.

    Here's a Globe St. article on this development: .............................. Developer Unveils 24-Acre Mixed-Use Plan By Amy Wolff Sorter HOUSTON-A Boston developer will break ground in the fourth quarter on Regent Square, a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use project. Area sources estimate the all-in development cost for the 24-acre project could come in just under $200 per sf. Regent Square, which will be constructed in two phases, will consist of 390,000 sf of retail and office space, 200-room boutique hotel and up to 1,800 residential units. The first phase will consist of 230,000 sf of retail and restaurants, 60,000 sf of office, the hotel and 740 residential units. The planned opening is 2010. The second phase's start will be based on market demand. The project site contains the Allen House apartment complex at 3601 W. Allen Pkwy., which is bordered by West Clay, Tirrell and Rosine streets. "We originally bought this during the mid-1980s' oil bust as a wonderful piece of property with an income-earning asset on it," says John Darrah, vice president for GID Urban Development Group. "The notion of doing this type of mixed-use development on the property occurred to us a couple of years ago." http://www.globest.com/news/885_885/gsrsou...t/159787-1.html

    Baylor to break ground on first hospital in Houston By TODD ACKERMAN and BRETT BRUNE Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle Baylor College of Medicine plans to break ground on its first-ever hospital in July, less than a year after its short-lived partnership with St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital foundered. Baylor today released new details of the plan, which call for 1.1 million square feet of construction, including 256 beds, to be finished by 2010. A planned second phase will bring those numbers to 600 beds and 2.7 million square feet. "This hospital will give Baylor the control of its clinical mission it has always wanted," said Baylor President Dr. Peter Traber. "Of the top 20 U.S. medical schools, we are the only ones that do not have a primary private adult teaching hospital." ........... The first phase of the complex, which includes the hospital, faculty offices and a clinic that will replace the current one on South Main, will cost $568 million. No cost or start-up date has been set for the second phase. .............. The Baylor hospital will be built on a 35-acre site adjacent to the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, an area the Texas Medical Center calls "the mid-campus" as development moves southward. ......... The hospital/clinic complex will have 2,000 parking spaces, both surface and garage. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4692167.html

    Great photos Jax. Your an artist. Love Panchito the cat. Adios
  9. Boris
    Hey Jax, I took that photo from the top of the parking garage that's right across the street from the Museum's own parking garage. Don't remember the name of the building, but it's right next to the museum of natural science. I also took some photos from the top of the museum's parking garage, but the particular photo you posted is from the garage across the street from the museum. Hope that helps, and can't wait to see your photos.
