  1. I will be very surprised if this doesn't end up being utilized by the medical center or some entity within the medical center. A great deal of the value of this property is due to it's proximity to the medical center. We are running out of room over here.
  2. HMB (the old Prudential building) has been slated to be torn down for years. The problem is that MD Anderson is growing so fast that every time they move people out of HMB to new buildings, there is backfill waiting in the wings that has nowhere else to go but HMB. The building will fall down before it's torn down at this rate. It's a great old building but it is falling apart. Literally. Some of the marble facing has fallen off. The old swimming pool was filled in years ago because it was too expensive to maintain as it had leaks that just couldn't be fixed. The only thing worth saving is the mural inside the lobby. Unfortunately, the last I heard, they would not be able to save the plaster wall. I hope that changes.
  3. We drove by Parkwood this morning coming to work and saw the RIP sign ("RIP to affordable housing"). I found your page while googling for information on what was going on. Thanks for the information. It is sad to see the property go, you don't find many apartment complexes like that down here in Houston. I almost moved into years ago when I first started working at the Med Center. However, I knew it wouldn't be around for very long. The property hasn't been taken care of for awhile, the streets are horrendous. Property in the Medical Center area is just too valuable not to build on. MD Anderson is in the process of building a new administrative building on a piece of land that was basically a median before. Amazing what they can cram into a small space. Two months notice is pretty rough but not surprising. To "TheNiche" - you may be disappointed with your access once the hospital goes up. I feel for the lucky people who live in Devonshire, they are going to have so much more traffic going through. Maybe they should think about being gated. Either way they are truly going to end up being an "island" in the Med Center.
