  1. If, when it comes down, you find yourself missing it, go take a tram tour of NASA Johnson from Space Center Houston. You'll see plenty of buildings like this one!
  2. RFQ for a Design-Build team posted for Texas A&M's Space Collaboration Facility at the Johnson Space Center's Exploration Park. https://www.txsmartbuy.com/esbddetails/view/DB-RFQ-02-3417
  3. New Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi Arts and Media Building renderings, floor plan, and site plan:
  4. New rendering of the Law and Education building with a new color palette that matches Kyle Field: Rendering of the Research and Innovation Building (note: this appears to take up two blocks rather than the one originally planned):
  5. Renderings and drawings of the fourth cruise terminal:
  6. The Zoo Bar construction update from last month:
  7. I'm so disappointed the Archdiocese gave up its opportunity to create Houston's own Main Plaza, Jackson Square, or Sister Cities Park.
  8. Redevelopment of the remainder of the Legacy Point or the Union property will begin by March 2025. They will be partnering with LV Collective, a student housing developer out of Austin. This will bridge a major gap in College Station's urban fabric and further help make the north side of campus truly urban. https://thebatt.com/news/hurricane-harrys-nearby-businesses-to-relocate-for-next-phase-of-legacy-point/
  9. Not exactly. It's on the moon and sending telemetry but the team believes it is tilted over. Incredibly, they tapped into test sensors in a payload on the vehicle after losing their lidar and nav cameras to avoid splatting onto the surface. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/23/world/odysseus-lunar-landing-sideways-scn/index.html
  10. A site plan, a floorpan, and a render of the Engineering Classroom and Research Building (ECRB). This will really help better define the spaces on that part of campus.
  11. Clearlake Asset Management is planning an 80 unit, 11 story condo building directly in between Seascape condos and Tiara on the Beach.
  12. Texas A&M will be building out additional space on two floors in the EnMed Building. https://news.tamus.edu/regents-approve-15-million-for-enmed-buildout-in-houston/
  13. The new engineering building was approved for construction. Groundbreaking in March. https://news.tamus.edu/regents-approve-258-million-for-new-construction-at-galveston-laredo-san-antonio-and-corpus-christi-campuses/
  14. A parking lot fronting the trail?? The beauty of that trail is it's mostly a respite from cars (despite the cross streets). It's like they learned nothing from MKT's embrace of the trail as its front door.
  15. Chicken N Pickle opens Feb. 20th, with court reservations open now. https://chickennpickle.com/location/webster-tx/
  16. This is the site plan for "Opus at College Station", a 23 floor, 208 unit, 554 bed student housing high rise. It received a height waiver recently. Last month, the city also abandoned two utility easements through the Nova Northgate property, hopefully clearing the way for construction.
  17. Popstroke TDLR filing reported by Community Impact. Construction start on May 1st 2024 and finish by December 1st 2024. https://communityimpact.com/houston/bay-area/business/2024/02/02/recreational-golf-facility-popstroke-coming-soon-to-webster?utm_campaign=Impact%3A Bay Area&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=292580669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HHlIzC5tWw2ncYrQvs7PGmJvVMBvka6XihiMxJEhpSgoPiev4l1DZR7Dg2dSIAfK6cBLGP9smsjUXGJgznW9TbmEf5w&utm_content=292580669&utm_source=hs_email https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2024009075
  18. From Ralph Bivins' Realty News Report: "Another new office building may be in the Houston construction pipeline. Energy trader Vitol Inc. is expected to occupy four stories of office space/trading floors stacked atop a multiple-level parking garage. The project would be constructed in the R.O. development on Buffalo Speedway, near Richmond Avenue. Vitol is currently in Kirby Grove, a project developed by Midway on Richmond Ave. Transwestern Development’s Sean Suffel has a long to-do list at the R.O., a redevelopment of the Exxon Research property between Richmond and West Alabama. A new building for OXY and an Auberge hotel/condo also are expected to rise at the R.O. …."
  19. Potential redevelopment of the northeast corner of I-45 and FM 517 in Dickinson into a truly mixed use district. This would consist of the now-condemned Creekside Apartments and a strip center whose largest tenant (StarFine Furniture) is currently closing. This would be a welcome replacement for the sad shopping center currently there!
  20. From the RNR Bulletin: “Occidental Petroleum Corp. is planning to relocate employees into a new office campus that will be constructed on the R.O. development near the northwest corner of Richmond Avenue and Buffalo Speedway, according to people in the real estate community. A few years ago, OXY signed a lease for 972,145 SF in the Five and Three Greenway Plaza buildings until 2031. OXY is expected to move into the new R.O. building in 2027 or 2028. … ” Not sure of Ralph Bivins’ accuracy or track record but this is huge if true.
  21. MSC officially announces its first planned cruises out of Galveston for late 2025! The Galveston Wharves is currently in the design phase of the fourth cruise terminal, of which MSC is expected to be an anchor tenant. https://www.galvnews.com/news/msc-cruises-announces-galveston-dates-for-2025/article_caeb7f0b-ce60-566d-acd3-564698ecc0ea.html?block_id=531919
  22. The best opportunity will likely be during confirmation of Whitmire's nominees by the Houston City Council. Hopefully there's enough transit advocates on city council to derail (pun intended) King's appointment. Otherwise hope he doesn't have enough influence to create more transit dissidents on Metro's board. (Now back to UNITi, we can discuss this in another thread)
  23. Downtown Dickinson City Center Master Plan in development:
  24. The schematics published by TxDOT have always referred to the land the Pierce sits on as "Surplus ROW" (right of way). In addition, HCAD shows there to be no parcel on those locations. It's safe to assume the someone that owns the land is the State of Texas. TxDOT could always sell the land without consulting the city and county to developers (or the types of people who own parking lots and never do anything more useful with them) but I doubt (maybe hopefully) that would occur.
