  1. Howard Hughes bags $14M in medical office sale to Houston Methodist February 28, 2024 https://therealdeal.com/texas/houston/2024/02/28/howard-hughes-sells-medical-office-to-houston-methodist-for-14m/ Howard Hughes Holdings offloaded Creekside Park’s first medical office, which it delivered last year. According to The Woodlands-based developer’s quarterly SEC report, it sold the Creekside Park Medical Plaza, at 26424 Strake Drive, for $14 million. Houston Methodist hospital system bought the two-story, 32,600-square-foot Class A medical office this month, property records show. Houston Methodist plans to open a multi-specialty clinic akin to its Comprehensive Care Center in Pearland.
  2. 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.
  3. A little confusing. Didn't Houston Methodist demolish a hospital called West Pavilion? Although, I believe that was the nickname and the proper name was medical related? Maybe the old West Pavilion was demolished for a direct replacement? I'll have to find the Historic Houston thread on the (now demolished) hospital for better clarification. I wanted to research more about this so today I sopped by the Houston Methodist West Pavilion located at 6447 Main Street. Here are the photos I took.
  4. In 1951, the The Wiess Memorial Chapel was built in the Houston Methodist campus at the Texas Medical Center. Decades later, the chapel was disabled and placed back together inside the Houston Methodist Dunn Tower which is resides today. I'd love to go look sometime. I'll have to ask my chaplain friend of they want to go visit with me. Here's a brochure/flyer from the 1950s regarding The Wiess Memorial Chapel. I'll look for actual photos of the building later on this week. Maybe the City of Houston Public Library Digital Collections will have a picture?
  5. I just discovered that there really is 3 different buildings. On surface level, you see 3 different names beneath the same building. I always thought each family contributed to the building. Edit: Still doesn't explain the Alkek Tower? While looking on satellite to see each building, sure enough they are separate. TMC is dense! The Houston Methodist Brown Building is the one with the helipad on the roof. Street level photo I took last weekend.
  6. I noticed an article from 100 years ago that said the Methodist Hospital was moving to a (new) home, which was the former Dr. Oscar L. Norsworthy Hospital in Midtown. That would mean there was a previous building. Maybe, and more of a church funded operation, the Methodist Hospital started out in this single story residential home? Anyone know anything about this?
  7. The different buildings a long Fannin Street are a little hard to tell apart. The area is so dense that all the buildings just blend right in together. Looking at the engravement in the brick in the front of the building, this is the Houston Methodist The Roy And Lillie Cullen Eye Institute located at 6565 Fannin Street. Established and built in 1971, with the donation gift of the Cullen family. Here are two photos of the building I took last weekend:
  8. Back in the early 1900s, Houston Methodist started out in a 4-story structure that resembled a residence. The hospital was simply called Methodist Hospital at that time. Dr. Oscar L. Norsworthy granted Methodist Hospital to use his hospital and then Methodist Hospital was chartered. Edit: It looks like the infamous Josie M. Roberts was the acting superintendent. Below is a photo of the old hospital.
  9. The Houston Methodist Smith Tower was designed by Lloyd Jones & Brewers and was commercially developed by Century Development (and Hines?) and was named after Robert Smith. Here's a photo I took today.
  10. How's the staffing here at the Houston Methodist Research Institute? Thought I heard that the program needed specialists, and couldn't keep staff? Maybe I misheard things.
  11. Noticed this dumpster permit for the Houston Methodist Hospital Distribution Center located at 7702 Parnell Street. Located across the street from Holmes Road, near Almeda.
  12. Found an awesome magazine called Modern Hospital, released 1952-11: Vol 79 Iss 5. You can read the publication on archive.org. Great website for historical items! As with any library, you can "check out" any book/magazine and "return it" an hour later. The magazine shows an in-depth look at the Texas Medical Center portfolio (in the ~1950s) including floor plans of old hospitals! I might create new threads with the information I found, but I wanted to focus on the Texas Medical Center Power Plant & Laundry Facility On Fannin Street. Power Plant and Laundry A power plant and laundry, owned jointly by the Methodist Hospital and St. Luke’s and Texas Children’s hospitals, provides heating, air conditioning, engineering and maintenance service and laundry. Methodist Hospital has a 50 per cent capital investment in this facility and St. Luke’s Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital together own a 50 per cent share. In this plant also are general maintenance shops, woodworking shop, paint shop, and so forth, all to be used for the benefit of the three hospitals. The linen will be jointly owned by the participating hospitals and will be billed out on a pounds used basis. A thorough analysis was made before this joint power plant and laundry was undertaken and the following savings were believed obtainable: Initial construction saving, $40,000 to $50,000. Laundry equipment saving, $18,000. Power plant operation, $12,000 to $15,000 per year. Laundry operation, $12,000 to $15,000 per year. This joint facility of the power plant and laundry of the three hospitals will be operated by a manger of the facilities who will be responsible to the administrator of each hospital. All service will be billed to the hospitals on a cost basis. Building Number 11: Building number 11: The article that I transcribed above:
  13. From what I read, the old Marriott Motor Hotel site at 2100 South Braeswood Blvd. was sold to Houston Methodist Hospital in 2000. The whole site is 10 acres. http://swamplot.com/new-houston-methodist-admin-midrise-will-give-multicolored-child-care-center-a-neighbor-to-look-up-to/2018-11-02/ The first building to be built was the Bright Horizons Child Care Center At 2100 South Braeswood Blvd. then came the Josie Roberts Administration Building At 7550 Greenbriar Dr. 10-acres is a lot of land and will support more buildings than 2. The old lay down site to build the Josie Roberts Administration Building is still unoccupied and vacant. Once the overall land increases in value, the single-story childcare center will demolished for something taller. Perhaps the campus will expand in 5 to 10 years? The Smith Land's parking lots are down the street from this campus. Once those parcels are developed, I bet you will see something else go up here.
  14. Coy Davidson just posted this on instagram: Land acquisition 2.4 Acres. Houston Methodist will build an Emergency Care Center on the site in League City, Texas at League City Parkway and Egret Bay Blvd. (FM 270)
  15. Houston Methodist has leased space in the small retail center a long Buffalo Speedway. Not to be confused with the huge shopping center named Plaza In The Park by Eden. This small retail center is developed by Lovett Commercial and has an address of 5110 Buffalo Speedway.
  16. Noticed an MRI replacement registered with TLDR. Building is located at 8333 Katy Freeway.
  17. This Houston Methodist surface lot on Braeswood near Fannin is down the street from MD Anderson's 1MC building and also the TMC3 project. How long until it's developed? Even a parking garage would be more beneficial. Wonder if they are waiting until they can grab all the parcels right there. Looks to be one building left.
  18. Houston Methodist expansion registered with TDLR. Address is 5505 West Loop South. I remember when this building was a Conn's.
  19. Building signage says this is a collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine. The Neurosensory Center of Houston is located at 6501 Fannin St. Edit: There is a planned skybridge on the outside of this building.
  20. I heard a rumor about the Houston Methodist Centennial Tower At 6541 Bertner Avenue. This will go up in the North Campus Master Plan, a long with the Walter Tower.
  21. Noticed a remodel submitted to the state. Houston Methodist Department of Radiation Oncology Annex located at 1130 Earle Street. Picture from today
