trymahjong Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It seems that you always hear " on the spectrum" when talking about autism. With 1-68 children being diagnosed within that spectrum, it's not unlikely that each of us encounter ( unknowingly or not) someone with autism. i am glad there is a campaign. To raise awareness.

OkieEric Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Not much of an update, but apparently the school has delayed it's move due to construction delays on their new campus - planned move is May 2019 There are a handful of new survey markers that cut across the property at the end of Glen Haven but who knows what that could mean. I was hoping we'd get a glimpse of something with the N. Braeswood abandonment process but can't find anything on that, either New nearby developments include new HCC building, Latitude & Intercontinental, new Allen Harrison South Main building (just to the south), and A&M buying 1020 Holcombe for it's EnMed program. Plenty of activity nearby, so hopefully something eventually happens here 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its property at 1920 N. Braeswood Blvd., Houston, was acquired by 7200 Main Corp. in 2015, along with adjacent parcels.

bobruss Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Hospitals employ lots of doctors. Those doctors usually have offices close to their working hospital or who they're affiliated with and hence doctors, clinics or specialty practices have their facilities in them. Hospitals usually have their administrative offices in the towers also, so it wouldn't be odd for the need for more office space in a booming med center especially with the growth in research and related fields.

This with the other massive development happening within the TMC can't start any faster. Also here's a reminder: Just the main tower by itself is crazy. Definitely a crown jewel if it gets built.

X.R. Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I wonder whats being seen in the market that these types of projects, ones that have been kind of sitting around for a while, are beginning to move forward in Houston? And then you have stuff like the Skanska purchase. Maybe Houston has gotten further enough away from being absolutely, totally oil-industry dependent that fears of a recession's effects have lessened? Some of my commercial real estate bros said the current building rate is what they remember from 06-07, and I was like, errr not great comparison given some people's current fears, lol. Regardless, this looks crazy. But its also a testament to TMC's vision. Isn't this exactly the type of stuff they said they wanted to have built on that Looped In podcast? If they build everything but that huge tower, its still a massive W compared to what was there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Ellen, you are right to be cautious. Nothing has been defined and I believe that is just a rendering for a proposal. I don't think anything has been announced yet and I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic. It would be a great location for such a development, and it certainly wouldd extend the Med Center's southern skyline, however it wouldn't fill in the gap between midtown and the Med center. But if Texas A& M goes ahead with their campus at Fannin/Main and Holcombe, and the TMC3 goes into construction, and this project gets built it will be a huge metamorphosis for the southern end of the med center campus, and definitely a game changer. Then they could start devouring the Grocers Supply east side property of 55 acres on the 288 Holcombe side. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkieEric Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 It was quiet for a few weeks but today I noticed they were in the process of tearing out that segment of N Braeswood Blvd...

Popular Post OkieEric Posted December 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2019 Sorry for the quick follow-up, but obviously tearing up N Braeswood would indicate they were granted the request for street abandonment from a couple of years ago. I checked the Harris County Clerk's website to see if it showed up and just found something else interesting... For some background, I've always noticed that the "Main Place at Greenbriar" plat (owned by 7200 Main Corporation) ended at a strange angle at Main and Pressler, as shown below. However, in all of the 7200 Main renderings we saw a few years ago, there were buildings and development along Pressler as well: For what it's worth, it appears that 7200 Main Corporation purchased ~0.8 ac from TMC out of the "Doctors Center" plat on 12/5/2019, and as best I can tell from the description this does appear to be additional land along Pressler: Maybe someone more savvy with coordinates can read the file and confirm, but either way it does appear that Coventry is finally moving on with development! It would seem getting the additional acreage along Pressler would be beneficial regardless of whether we are getting anything remotely close to these renderings, but obviously there is something very large in the works here... 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all we know at this point is that the secretive developer (same developer as Springwoods Village) has now acquired and cleared the parcels to replicate the footprint seen in the prior renderings. The renderings we originally saw were from HOK and part of a design competition several years ago... Some from Gensler have also floated around... From what I've read, they had to present development plans to get the fill & grade and water/waste water permits that have been issued over the past year or so. So something is in the works, but what exactly is anyone's guess. This is a huge plot of land along Main near TMC and near some big upcoming developments (TMC3, new A&M development, new Medistar tower, whatever is happening at 1500 OST, etc) so...yeah, it's potentially something pretty amazing . Hopefully the recent movement here means we hear something soon 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OkieEric Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 I hadn't checked in a while but saw some easements grated between 7200 Main and AT&T and then the City of Houston: Looking at the easement with AT&T, it appears to show some reconfiguration of easements but, more interestingly, it also seems to indicate the planned road layout. The below documents indicate a new street parallel to Main from Greenbriar to Pressler, and then an extension of Glen Haven (?) from Main to the new street. The easement filed on 5/27 to the City of Houston references the parcels corresponding to the new streets (AY17-265B and AY17-265A). It seems like this one is quietly (and slowly) moving along... 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they build everything but that huge tower, its still a massive W compared to what was there. Well, TMC is kinda a special case with it's own history. It employees 105k people now and that is about to boom even more. If we are Including the outlining hospitals, the medical industry that feeds into these hospitals locally the number of people they employ surpassed Houston's OG industry around 2018, even when oil booms again it's unlike to re-seat itself as Houston's leading industry. As much thanks I have for the OG industry for what it's done for this town, it's always been a bi-polar experience. There's a group of venture capitalists that teach start-up healthcare and pharmaceutical classes at Rice and they allow people who work in the med center to audit them. Their studied appreciation of TMCs missed opportunities are really very similar to what I've seen on the ground floor and exactly what these expansions and TMC3 are designed to close the loop on. For many decades now it's been what doctors I know that come here from prestigious hospitals in the NE refer to as "the medical Disney World" and they're right, AND it's one we've never properly capitalized on. It's very leaky. TMC despite having every toy and specialty and research rabbit hole imaginable has failed spectacularly to keep any of the fruits of that labor and capital here in the city when it comes to the startups that research generates which turn into or are bought out by big companies. I've been a part of plenty of studies, been trained on plenty of gizmos and gadgets who while the hospitals here were always some of the top centers involved, if not the top contributors, we were none the less being ferried back and forth to incubators in Boston, Raleigh, California etc. the company headquarters at for training. For decades TMC hospitals have provided an insane amount of access and money to patients for studies, devices, medicine etc. to companies but once the work's done the company growth and economic fruits are felt elsewhere. TMC is great for coastal startups to use to leverage their products etc. into reality but Houston doesn't benefit from it, only marginally. Having a massive engineering medicine campus feed into the medical schools and hospitals here, next to the world's largest medical center, next to some of the worlds largest medical research campuses and then offering plenty of incubator space and access to capital, hotels etc. is designed to stop the drain. I am pretty sure they'll be successful, even without this project. Edited October 20, 2021 by Two 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieEric Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I saw that the new plat was recommended for approval at 10/28 planning commission meeting with the below comments referencing a "Novus Center Way": I wasn't quite sure whether this was just a typo or carryover from some prior comments, but did some digging and found this on the Houston map viewer site: "New Braeswood Way" and "Novus Center Place" appear to be the names of the new streets. Perhaps "Novus Center" is the name of the new development? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) There were 5 deeds recorded on this property this past January, from 7200 Main Corporation to 5 different entities for 5 different portions (7200 Center 1, Inc., 7200 Center 2, Inc., etc.).
