The poster on the side of the site said that it's going to be another parking garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the garages are for TMC employees only, correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the garages are for TMC employees only, correct?I don't know who's actually building the garage (the TMC or one of the individual hospitals on their own.) Either way, most of the garages in the med center are open to the public but expensive (~$10/day). That parking lot was an employee only lot though so who knows.

Gary Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm wondering, too. Two large cranes are at the site now. I took this pic a few weeks ago. I have the name of the garage written down, but it's at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Tellepsen appears to be the builder - they have partnered with Morris Architects for many of their garages, and also Ziegler Cooper, Gensler, and PageSoutherlandPageso far, all i can find for the name is TMC garage 19 Edited August 20, 2007 by sevfiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I think that's the new MD Anderson garage on Braeswood south of Holcombe. #4 on this map.http://www.mdanderson.org/departments/newconst/Damnit, your right! I got home to match the photos with the info i had written down, and noticed the same thing. Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Today I noticed some new construction at Greenbriar and Braeswood in what used to be a parking lot beside the Valencia Condominiums. Anybody know what it is? It's a good location close to the medical center and rail, but the immediate vicinity is too parking lot centric for me. Anyways, could be interesting to see what happens there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumber2 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Yes, TMC garage #19 to be exact, however, there will be some retail on the ground level to support the Meyer Building and TMC parkers taking the shuttle buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 That will be great for the people in the Valencia, and the other med center expansions on that side of the bayou. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) Yes, TMC garage #19 to be exact, however, there will be some retail on the ground level to support the Meyer Building and TMC parkers taking the shuttle buses.That's great news about the retail. That stop is always extremely busy in the morning from all of the Med Center employees. It will also do well with the Lanesborough and Greenbriar apartments right there within walking distance. There seems to be activity along the Red Line in every part of town. Edited September 3, 2007 by roadrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
