  1. I can't believe we don't have a thread for this! (or do we?) Here are a few photos I took yesterday. http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/gallery/1237377429/gallery_3613_2_91212.jpg http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/gallery/1237377429/gallery_3613_2_195305.jpg
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. For years I have been wondering if Sears will ever do something with this eyesore located in midtown. It has so much potential, I guess at one point it was actually considered a beautiful building. Sears really needs to think about bringing it back to its original form. Something needs to be done. I would prefer to preserve the building, instead of razing it . What do you all think? Article found in the Chronicle today. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/main/5924010.html ''It's hideous!" fumes my friend V., warming up to one of his favorite rants: the unbearable ugliness of the Sears on Main Street. "It's right there on the light-rail line! At the entrance to the Museum District! At one of the few places where Houston can look good to visitors!" V., I have to admit, has a point. Sears' tan metal siding, blotched with graffiti cover-up, gives the building's upper floors the beaten-down air of an aging ministorage unit. But even that beats the urban battle fortifications at ground level. Someone, it appears, worked hard to make the department store defensible, able to repel invading hordes of shoppers intoxicated by Vanessa Hudgens' back-to-school ads. At the Wheeler side of the building, two sets of glass double doors, blacked out and locked during business hours, present an ominous face to the street. Opaque gray film makes the official entrance's glass doors, facing Main, only a little less scary. Bricks fill almost all the former display windows; burglar bars and more of that gray film cover the plate glass that survived. Only the most intrepid seekers of Kenmore appliances would dare breach such a bulwark. What's the deal, V. wonders. Does Sears think that the urban shoppers that store serves deserve less than, say, the suburbanites at the Memorial City Mall? And for that matter, hasn't someone at Sears noticed that Midtown has gentrified around the store? Isn't there a retail audience yearning to be better served? "Don't just return," exhorts the Hudgens back-to-school ad for Sears. "Arrive." V. would like that Sears to do just that. ...
  5. 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.
  6. Noticed a remodel submitted to the state. Houston Methodist Department of Radiation Oncology Annex located at 1130 Earle Street. Picture from today
  7. This is from a news release yesterday on the Methodist hospital homepage. Looks like they're going all out. Methodist announces inpatient tower expansion Learn about our facilities. HOUSTON - 02/19/07 - The Methodist Hospital System announced today plans for one of the Texas Medical Center
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. 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:
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Brazos Town Center ready for groundbreaking Allison Wollam Houston Business Journal NewQuest Properties will break ground on a 430-acre, $241 million development in Fort Bend County this week. Recent Company News
  15. This is the shopping center with the Randall’s at Bellaire & Bissonnet. https://s25.q4cdn.com/658894972/files/doc_presentations/2020/11/3Q20-Roadshow-(Nareit).pdf A planned multi-story mixed-use redevelopment is in the works. Wonder if they’re signaling that the Randall’s will be closing, making the shopping center obsolete.
  16. Watched an online interview with Tushar Gupta & Sid Sanders regarding the Houston Methodist Walter Tower design. In the presentation Sid mentioned the life span of their buildings and future planning. In the future, Houston Methodist would like to demolish their old, 1950's hospital referred to as Main Building. Once Phase III of the North Campus is complete, this will be on the horizon. Planned to be a a Research Hospital, to pair with their other Research Institute. Shown in purple on the right side.

  18. This is a $1.5B 2,000 acre mixed use development at the intersection of GP & FM 1464: http://www.globest.com/news/908_908/houston/160716-1.html
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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:
  22. I had not heard this or seen this posted before so I thought I would pass it along. I'm glad someone will finally be occupuying the old Compaq building. http://impactnews.com/northwest-houston/335-recent-news/7446-sysco-corporation-plans-to-open-new-facility-in-cypress
  23. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w208/houtosme/MethodistSugarLand_zpse6b357dd.jpg http://www.fbherald.com/health/article_c0dac28a-47ef-11e3-9733-0019bb2963f4.html Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital has begun a five-project, $131 million expansion that includes its first development in Missouri City. Groundbreakings will take place between now and summer 2014 on the projects. “Fort Bend continues to grow in size and population and our patients are seeking an ever broader range of sophisticated medical and surgical treatments close to home,” said Dr. Marc L. Boom, Houston Methodist CEO. The expansion kicks off in November with groundbreaking on a 9,600-square-foot emergency care center on SH 6 in Missouri City between the Sienna Plantation and Riverstone communities. The facility is scheduled to open in summer 2014 and will house 10 treatment rooms and the latest technology in diagnostic imaging equipment. A new patient tower will be added between the Sweetwater Pavilion and Main Pavilion on the Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital campus, adding 104 beds. The tower will add intensive care beds and medical-surgical beds with space remaining for future expansion. Groundbreaking will take place in the summer of 2014 with completion in 2016. The hospital is also building a facility for Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. The practice will move to a new 60,000-square-foot building on the corner of U.S. 59 and Sweetwater Boulevard.
