Half of Segment B, from I-45 in League City to 2403 in Alvin, will have a construction contract awarded in 2025 with delivery by 2030. The remainder of the project, to 288 will be a separate project.

That "master plan model" looks like a "value engineered" Energy Corridor project.
I think that's the master plan for the property across Waugh (I don't think we've seen a plan for that before). Based on the address and property shape this doesn't look like the future main portion of Buffalo Heights (The Memorial Trails property).

There were rumors at one time that Embry-Riddle was kicking the tires on a possible Houston campus. I'm not sure that's still a possibility, but it would fit in nicely as part of the Aerospace Campus...
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 is not a small mixed-use. Per the article:
"... The company, owned by Houston-based developer John Fischer, plans to develop what is to be called Seabrook Plaza, with a 100,000-square-foot boutique hotel, a 120,000-square-foot extended stay hotel, a 25,000-square-foot event center, a seven-story apartment complex with 260 one- and two-bedroom units, and about 25,000 square feet of retail space.It also includes more than 800 parking spots for the hotels and event center and nearly 370 for the apartments. Most of the parking would be on the first and second floors of the buildings..."

"At a Jan. 18 meeting, members of the Houston City Council passed an agreement between the city of Houston and Rice University’s Severe Storm Prediction, Education and Evacuation from Disaster Center—known as the SSPEED Center—for the planning of Galveston Bay Park.
The Galveston Bay Park Plan entails the design of a set of barrier islands for storm surge protection and for the study and preservation of the area’s oyster habitat.
The GBPP is the companion project to the “infamous” Ike Dike, Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin said at the meeting. The Ike Dike is part of a larger coastal spine project."
This project has such promise, really hope it comes to fruition. The new parkland on the islands alone would be worth it for me.

Can confirm, they've recently leased 146,000 sf in the former Fry's Electronics and 180,000 at 600 Gemini.

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!

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
Aerospace Hub:
If this comes to fruition, the Galveston Bay Area could become the center of the commercial space economy. Let's go!

Nothing very concrete here. The cap was already planned. As to the commitment to consider cantilevering frontage roads along depressed sections . . . The only depressed section is where they are installing the cap; so if they cantilever the frontage roads it will reduce the available space for a cap park; and perhaps more important, is an area where they are already planning to take VERY little additional right of way.
Even more to the point, I just looked again at the plans. The plan already includes cantilevered frontage roads on the depressed section in Segment 2!
Guess it was all political theater 🤷🏼♂️

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Highline Park in NYC is really cool. From its wikipedia page: The park became a tourist attraction and spurred real estate development in adjacent neighborhoods, increasing real-estate values and prices along the route. By September 2014, the park had nearly five million visitors annually, and by 2019, it had eight million visitors per year.
I think the Pierce Elevated should be kept, it has potential to become something never done before.
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.

The Taylor Lake Village development had appeared stalled for a while but the rear buildings on the northern tract are up to the third floor. The single family houses are also continuing construction. The southern parcel is finishing utility and road construction.
