    They had one in Houston a few years back but closed it. Either way I think the Spaceport and Houston will be in much better shape with the proposed partnership between Texas A&M, UH, Rice, and others.

    This project has such promise, really hope it comes to fruition. The new parkland on the islands alone would be worth it for me.

    Correction: Axiom actually leased 270,000 sf at 600 Gemini. Additionally, The Cannon is opening a 48,000 sf outpost in the same building and a 26,500- or potentially 53,000- sf location in 1150 Gemini. Great news for the Galveston Bay Area space startup scene! https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/office/the-cannon-innovation-hub-expands-footprint-with-pair-of-leases-and-more-to-come-117211

    Some interesting slides from a presentation to city council on development at the Spaceport: Overall site/land use plan: Academic Area: Includes the TSU aviation center and multi-institution aerospace hub TSU aviation: They are moving this academic unit to the Spaceport https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2022/12/15/tsu-lead-aviation-houston-spaceport-health-equity.html Aerospace Hub: If this comes to fruition, the Galveston Bay Area could become the center of the commercial space economy. Let's go!

    Guess it was all political theater 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Can confirm, they've recently leased 146,000 sf in the former Fry's Electronics and 180,000 at 600 Gemini. https://bayareahouston.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/BDU-Issue-80-123022-2.pdf https://www.galvnews.com/business/buzz/article_358a1424-0d77-53ed-a99e-c9467676d220.html

    Cruise Terminal #4 being explored by the Port and MSC: It was previously planned for the 2030 - 2040 timeframe but looks like it could be online prior to 2030 if all moves quickly and smoothly. https://maritime-executive.com/article/galveston-plans-fourth-cruise-terminal-as-port-handles-1m-passengers

    Some things of note in the MOUs from the Downtown TIRZ January meeting minutes: Cap in Segment 2 at N Main. (I think this was already committed to as the structural cap from N Main to Cottage St. Cantilevered frontage roads to reduce project footprint along depressed sections in Segment 2. http://www.downtowntirz.com/downtownhouston/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/230110-DRA-TIRZ3-Board-Materials.pdf https://www.txdot.gov/nhhip/project-segments/segment2.html These may have been discussed and I might have missed it but these seem like much more concrete commitments for segment 2.

    Axiom Space's facility at the Houston Spaceport. Moving along quickly! I didn't get a picture but Collins' facility is complete and occupied and Intuitive Machines is working on their second phase now.

    That menu item would have a better audience a neighborhood over... 😂

    Interestingly, Texas A&M also still owns 2121 W Holcombe which Medistar was supposed to acquire when the initial announcements were made about the partnership.
  17. texan
    Likely not since A&M's only involvement on that building is owning the land it sits on. This project is a Private-Public Partnership where A&M owns the land (and the academic building, Discovery Tower) and the developer (Medistar) owns and manages the apartment and office buildings and pays A&M a lease fee. As long as the university gets paid it likely isn't an issue for them since A&M isn't planning to occupy space in the office building. In looking back at news articles, it says the apartment tower and garage were both definitely happening by 2022 but the office portion was only "planned" to start in 2022. A&M itself is actually planning a $15 million buildout of shell space in the academic building it owns. https://assets.system.tamus.edu/files/treasury/pdf/FY23/TAMHSC.pdf

    http://seabrooktx.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15143/The-Residences-at-Highland-Center-005-002?bidId= Early renders here. The area desperately needs this type of development

    An interesting compromise would be to remove alternating sections of each direction of the freeway to allow for park development underneath as well. Green space in the sunlit sections of the ground level and playgrounds/exercise fixtures in the shaded areas. A multilevel park would be really cool and wouldn’t just be a copy of the Highline that’s 2-3x as wide.

    Tear it down, turn the land into a linear park and watch the surrounding blocks develop like around Discovery Green is my preference.

    From East River's Facebook page:

    The Domain proper in Austin is 303 acres. 100,000 biotech workers could definitely use a high density, mixed-use development of that size to live, shop, and eat in.

    Texas A&M President Kathy Banks confirmed today in her State of the University address that the Texas A&M portion will be a $200 million building developed with UH.
  24. texan
    The article also states the first buildings could begin construction within two years but first they will need to invest about $100 million for infrastructure. Elkus Manfredi is doing the master plan.

    This opinion piece has exactly the lack of context the Stop I45 group has in all of their statements- not surprised considering the author lives in New York. There's really no independent, critical thought at all in the opposition to this project. I'm extremely excited for the significantly improved access downtown will have to Fourth Ward, Midtown, and EaDo and the significantly improved low income housing that will be created because of this project.
