Town homes, I'm guessing. Too bad they couldn't get the whole block.

CBD to the east ends just past Emancipation.

It's a cool spot. I'm hoping to add more to the surrounding area.

While I think the KBR site will play a role in the district, I think it will grow closer to some of the more established parts of EaDo. Factors such as access to public transportation, restaurants, etc. will be key. Growing a center away from those things is doable, but growing a tech culture isn't. Walkability, access to cool spaces to work and play, bike trails, etc. are all important as well.

The best way to spur new development is with tax incentives and a good economy. Ha. What is the best way to ensure Houston has a viable long term economy?

Turn it into a giant automated parking structure. Would be awesome IMO.

They are working on the brown metal building east of the main building
I believe that is for the Our Vodka Distillery.

would it be big enough for a top golf
Before Top Golf came about, I thought it would be cool to put a "resort" on the south eastern part of downtown with a driving range on the roof. It would have to span 3-4 blocks. The skyline views would be amazing!

Station Houston, one of the city accelerators and incubators, are working on creating a tech district downtown.
There are a few players in the scene right now. Downtown will definitely be part of the district.

Currently there are many incubators and accelerators in downtown as well as a few more that are planned. These are really going to help us diversify our economy from oil and gas. Hopefully though, these companies do decide to stay in Houston.
That's the biggest issue. Keeping them in Houston. Creating a tech district will be key to this.

Awesome post! The startup scene here in Houston has a lot of potential. We are working on creating a tech hub in an effort to harbor continuity, infrastructure, culture, etc. that is currently lacking. With a strong community, we'll have more awesome startups coming out of the city. Exciting times for sure.

So, we are spending $9b on new road projects for cars at the same time we are trying to stall/kill a privately owned and funded high speed railroad that would take pressure OFF some of those roads?
Public policy in this State (and country) is broken.
Policy in general is broken. Society could be so much more advanced ...

I hear we are getting closer and closer to getting something in the Lovett site on Dowling. Possible a CVS and some sort of grocer. I'm hoping for Trader Joes.

8381 Westview is an adaptive redevelopment of a former ecclesiastical building to new office & retail. The project is located in the Spring Branch submarket and was 100% leased at the time of sale.

Pretty sure this building will not be taken by the freeway project.
I stand corrected. It'll sit really close to the freeway though ...

TxDot is probably in the process of purchasing it since the freeway project is going to happen.

Sears exists more as a real estate holding company that happens to have a lot of empty Sears and Kmart stores occupying the real estate. I don't think they are really that interested in operating retail and much as unloading the real estate. At some point the Midtown location will be sold for some other use.
I don't think Sears owns that Midtown property, but I could be wrong.
