I really believe this has a strong chance of happening. If Houston would embrace more of what it is and not what it isn't, people would begin to appreciate it more. I love how the article talks about all the doubters for Discovery Green. Like it isn't complicated, you can't go wrong with a park! And I would love for this city to continue embracing how green it is year round. 

This is such a huge project for this area. Very glad this is happening!

I have yet to see a Chrome vehicle. This is pretty trill

Slim Thug use to have a chrome Ferrari. I use to see him on 59 all the time. That thing has to be tough to keep clean.

Idk I feel then entire vibe of Rice Village is fine. I mean the center is a bit suburban, but I feel the improvements will do enough for the area. I think The Village is a good combo of development that makes Houston what it is.

Parkway Ave?

I like the chill music

The density is beautiful

Oh God calm down Montrose1100 lol geez smh

There is a Houston St that runs through Downtown Dallas. Unfortunately, It borders the book depository and Dealey Plaza....

Oh goodness lol smh

You know, while I think it is a very cool idea, Montrose1100 is right... there is such a dense grid of streets between downtown and midtown, that it woulf be a shame to maintain this physical barrier

Oh no we are way better than dallas so that's not the reason. I was just saying that a new branding by renaming the street would be great to promote the shopping district.

Are some of you people nuts!? This idea would be incredible. Screw NYC! For this city it would be so amazing to re purpose something like this. It would be a 2 for 1 deal, you eliminate the barrier between downtown and midtown and ou get green space. Seems like an easy win win IMO.

Nice density filling in

Green Street sounds cookie cutter, like a subdivision's street name. Dallas should remain the name of the street. Dallas also has a fancy glitzy feel to it that would help retail rather than hurt it.

If it were a numerically named street like 1st/34th/2nd, I could see the desire to rename it.

I guess I was never really a fan of the pavilions changing names to Green Street. Sounds so forced.

If you like the name Green Street, would you care to elaborate why? I would like to understand your opinion a little better.

There's not much to elaborate about. The name of the street follows the name of what's being built around it. I mean if there are other ideas, I'm all for it. IMO I feel like a name change would work for this shopping area. It's something the city can promote to out of towners and help establish a focal point in the city to shop and visit. I guess I can agree that Green St. does sound a bit forced. Any other ideas?

The fact of the matter is that the housing is here. Yes SkyHouse isn't full but as demand increases and more developments progress downtown, these places will fill up. 

All that's left is for some developer to tear down that ugly Magic Island and build and awesome skycraper!

The first thought come to me is we need another boom to fill all these parking lots!

A lot of those lots are filling up, this pic is kinda outdated

Sounds a bit juvenile and petty to me....

 

EDIT: To add to this. This is like the equivalent to someone not going to go see a Marvel movie because they a DC fan or Marvel not seeing a DC film because they are a Marvel fan. Ewww Playstation? I only play Nintendo games thank you. Yuck Nintendo? I only play Playstation games! Star Wars fans can not ever interact with Star Trek fans nor can they ever work together or have characters in their universes because....reasons? The only time I felt this way about any kind of faction was when I was a little kid....because thats exactly what this renaming because its named "dallas st" is. Its a little kids argument. (further this isn't aimed at you, but those who would want to change said name for said reason.)

I have no idea what any of that has to do with renaming the street, BUT what I was trying to get across was maybe a clever name for the street since this is where our retail district will be. Green Street sounds good to me.

One candidate could be Green St, tie in to both GreenStreet and Discovery Green.

Glad someone has a clever idea! Nice!

The convention center is going to look so much nicer when this is complete

GREAT ARTICLE!!! GO HOUSTON!!! And as for the golf simulator! Please let this be true!

The city had already planned to rename the street a couple years back. I'll give you a reason though, because it's called 'dallas' st.

Is this project a for sure thing or still just a proposal?

The only problem I have with this development is its surroundings. I hope they widen sidewalks and revamp this area much like they've done on Westheimer and Kirby.

I wonder if AT&T will hook this building up with fiber internet - just have to throw a cable across the street

Haha... I just realized that as ugly as this building is, it's actually not as bad as thought
