Whitmire plans $3 billion in improvements to downtown over 30 years using hotel occupancy taxes.
'"The entertainment district will be going three miles in each direction. It will reach the arts and theater district," Whitmire said.
He said plans are in place to expand the George R. Brown Convention Center to compete with other convention centers.
"We are going to have larger conventions," he said.
And they want to attract big things, possibly even another professional sports team.
"Yes, Toyota Center will get ready for hockey," he said.
Most importantly, the mayor said the purpose is to clean up downtown. Problems that Carol Churchill said she's just seen grow over the years.'

Damn... So now Trump will be against this?
Once upon a time he considered it an infrastructure priority. Unfortunately, consistency doesn't mean anything to most politicians if it can be traded for winning.

Houston has fantastic weather for shaded terraces and patios. Hope to see more development that embraces it like this one become more common. 50 of these and the building under construction next door spread around inside the loop would be fantastic!

The Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation contracted Stoss Landscape Urbanism to provide a potential plan for a remade, pedestrian friendly waterfront in Galveston. The parking would be moved to garages that could also have greenspace or other pedestrian space (like the sand on the garage in the lower right of the photo). No action was taken but the wharves board may form a committee as this is a priority of the city.

"Intuitive Machines Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR) was named as one of three recipients for NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract, which has a combined maximum potential value of $4.6 billion for all awards to multiple companies. For Intuitive Machines, the initial award is valued at $30 million for a feasibility assessment, which will take a year to complete.
The vehicle will be used for NASA's Artemis III mission, which is the agency's first return to the moon since 1972. That mission is anticipated to launch no earlier than 2026. Intuitive Machines' initial award could be followed by further task orders with higher dollar amounts for a term of up to 10 years, the company said April 3."
Axiom Space is a partner on an additional winning proposal, this one by Venturi Astrolab. Venturi's proposal is admittedly less sexy than the other two winners.

Century Square Phase II is under construction. Sadly this was downsized from the initial plans.
A future section (at the corner of University and College) is slated for residential development.

I really like the idea of this space.
I also feel like I'm about the only person around that likes the design of the Family Law Center.
Wouldn't hate it if it could be repurposed into a learning space or museum/archive that could serve the purpose and mission of the surrounding park area. I won't be too terribly heartbroken if it comes down however.
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!

Wow. That's a lot more parking lot and a lot less "public gathering and tribute space" than I expected. I've seen convenience stores bigger than that. Though I guess a surface parking lot is an appropriate "tribute" to Houston.
Looking back at the PDF, I guess I should have noticed that it's just a patch of grass with some pavers and a ramada in the middle next to a cinder block wall.
I'm so disappointed the Archdiocese gave up its opportunity to create Houston's own Main Plaza, Jackson Square, or Sister Cities Park.

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.

Houston, We Have No Problem !
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.

The site where that tower was planned was ground-leased to Medistar to build office space and serve as a revenue source for the A&M System. That space was not planned to be used by A&M. Medistar put that project on hold, similar to how they put their down the street Innovation Tower project on hold.
