    I love this development. My only hope is we continue to get projects like this along Allen Parkway and Memorial. Pending of course this does in fact come to fruition. The track of land at Montrose and Allen is another prime site for this caliber of development. Additionally the Regent square tract which of course is a pending project. Taller buildings from Shepard all the way Downtown would be quite the skyline in of it self. The property at the corner of Shepard and Allen specifically I believe has lots of potential. The buildings at that corner appear to be in disrepair or not really in use. Lots of disposable income right down the street.

    Driving by this I spotted a coming soon sign in the retail spot at the bottom of the garage. All I could make out was "café." Does anyone else have any additional details?

    I guess the crane is coming down? It looks like the weather might be affecting this.

    With the residential that has developed along W. Dallas the 5 AC site is perfect for a residential tower. It would be a natural continuation and have park views.

    Century Square is a 60-acre, mixed-use development that creates a premier district for the community to connect in an active, urban setting. It is the first of its kind in the Bryan-College Station area and breathes new life into a space with premier retail, local dining, and two boutique hotels tied together by an activated central gathering space. Century Square also features sophisticated, urban residential options with 100 Park. The innovative design has helped Century Square become a destination for the wider university community, residents, and visitors to the Brazos Valley region. https://www.midway.team/places/century-square

    Correct, protected building at this point. The freeway will have to adjust to it, not the other way around.

    Before we further discuss this topic I think its important to understand what discovery green is and the directive. The quote below is direct from their website with a key part in bold. "Discovery Green exemplifies a successful public-private partnership between the City of Houston, the Houston First Corporation and Discovery Green Conservancy, the nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that operates and maintains the park. The Conservancy produces hundreds of free events each year and receives no direct city funding." Being a resident of midtown and a worker in downtown I frequent this area quite a bit. I would love for the park to be in pristine condition year round but like everything there is a cost. Many of the times I go to the park it is because there is a special event. I think complaining about the number of events is a non starter as one of the conservancy's main goals is events. The national mall example I think is the best way I have heard to address the issue. For any of us that may know someone associated with the Discovery Green Conservancy I think we should bring this example to their attention.
