TMC Helix Park: Texas Medical Center Bio Research Campus
Highrise Tower replied to Mab's topic in Going Up!
My visit to TMC Helix Park this weekend. I must, continue, to say wow! What an amazing development. There are now information kiosks scattered around. The graphics appear to have a new 2024 TMC Helix Park Master Plan! The rendering indicates a bunch of parcels are outlined in orange. They are labeled as under construction, but I believe under construction just qualifies as a construction fence. One thing to note. The rendering still indicates the parking garage will, eventually, have a retail wing. The 4th park's water features are just, absolutely, incredible. Mikyoung Kim Design did an outstanding job here. The water fountain is cascading a curved steep. wow! Looking downward, the other side. Hard to tell but that's running water. Dynamic One. Just an awesome looking building!- 1,220 replies

Construction update this week. Looks like a gas tank of sorts? I wonder if it's Airgas Healthcare, an Air Liquide company.

MD Anderson Clinical Services Building At 6516 MD Anderson Blvd.
Highrise Tower replied to sevfiv's topic in Going Up!
As hindesky noted, more and more equipment has been arriving at the site. We should see construction forthcoming. I've always liked this curved pathway. It now has been taped off, presumably for demolition.- 47 replies

That's a lot of land for a surface lot. At least a surface lot is easy to demolish in 30 years when they need to utilize more space for their institution.

1.95-Acres For Sale At 1515 Garrettson Ln.
Highrise Tower replied to houstontexasjack's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Stopped by the site the other day. There is still construction equipment here. I'd have to assume the owner of the parcel owns the equipment, or they have been renting it for a long 5 years. What gives? -
Took a photo of the building the other day.

One of the Melcher Investments properties. Has anyone ever been to the restaurant in the corner? I've heard great things. Railhead is also apart of this retail shopping center. Here's two photos I took this weekend:

Noticed one of the buildings is now sitting vacant and a Lewis Property Company's For Lease sign has been posted. This would be 3951 San Felipe Street. * I think it's the same retail center.

Noticed a Lewis Property Company leasing sign this weekend. Didn't that furniture company move here from down the street? It failed at this location too? Dang.

Suburban cancer centers look like this. I had 30 minutes of downtime and was in the area so I stopped by. Pictures I took: The Houston Methodist departments within the building are as follows: Primary Care, Orthopedics, Physical Therapy, Specialty Physician Group, Imaging Center, Sports Medicine, Cardiology, and Research Institute.

I had 30 minutes of downtime and was in the area so I stopped by. A little confusing. One of the departments is named Texas Children's Hospital Pavilion for Women. What does that mean exactly? I thought the "PFW" was in the TMC located at 6651 Main Street. It's their flagship hospital. Is Pavilion for Women as brand name? Do they have them in The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, etc? Or maybe the same doctors rotate between the two?

METRO Transit Center- Fannin South At 1604 West Bellfort Ave.
Highrise Tower replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Transit
Nice Highway 288 directional signage a long West Bellfort! Must have went up this week due to the Houston Rodeo traffic coming to use the Redline. *and why is that 4-acre parcel sitting vacant? You would call that a Transit Oriented Development. Just build a 5-story multifamily wrap.- 11 replies

Found something very cool this weekend. I never knew this existed even walking past it 500 times. Do other underpasses/bridges/etc have plaques as well? I see the number 731 next to the sign. I'd assume it stands for sign number 731. City of Houston Main and Fannin Street Underpasses at Holcombe Blvd. Lewis Cutrer, Mayor 1962 Brown & Root, Engineer Here's the underpass. Notice the Gus S. And Lyndall F. Wortham Park on the right. Former site of the Shamrock Hotel.

As hindesky noted above, this is now an active construction site! woow!! I already called JTB Demolition and left a voicemail to find out what's the scope here. A few years ago I was invited into the vacant hospital. It's actually a beautiful hospital with awesome interior space. I seriously doubt this would be a complete demolition. Waste of a hospital if that's the case. Although, I do know that hospitals have to adopt to the latest and greatest. Maybe the 30 year old layout won't work in 2024? I'd say JTB Demolition will be demolishing the interior and gutting it. Leaving a shell of a building for the next (perspective) client. Doesn't the Texas Medical Center own the land and has a 100-year ownership agreement? It's apart of the original coveted land that only "non-profits" can build on. Edit: Yes, it appears the ground-lease expires July 2092. Crazy!! You can see still the left-over words of Shriners Hospital on the building. Power wash! Left over logo featuring the Sword.

A short brick wall is being constructed along Willowbend Blvd. Not the best use of materials and height length in my opinion. While unattractive, a large concrete wall would have been a better idea. Someone could always draw artwork over the bare concrete. I'd just worry about the noise from the freeway 20 feet away.

Fannin-Greenbriar Triangle Park At 7898 Fannin St.
Highrise Tower replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Texas Medical Center
Stopped by this weekend to get a closer look. I love the artwork! I'm not sure if HAIF knows, but The Woman's Hospital of Texas has their campus in front of the statue. The artwork of celebrating the birth of a baby just only makes sense! Here's the pictures I took this weekend. -
Hospitality Apartments At 7300 Bertner Ave.
Highrise Tower replied to texas911's topic in Texas Medical Center
Movement over at the Hospitality Apartments! A new, tall, fence is being installed around the multifamily complex. I wonder if the years of construction at TMC3 across the street was the result of this? Wanted a little more privacy since the TMC3 construction project (was) scheduled to last 10 years.- 2 replies
