Yeah, totally!!!! I lived in Cougar Place for two years, and it's pretty horrible.

Making a Houston Riverwalk won't solve anything. The Houston Pavillions has a lot of potential, and is in a great area which can only improve with the infill and rail coming up. Obviously it will be nice for all of the millions of sports fans that venture downtown to have a place to walk, eat and do some shopping. This development is going to hit a homerun, and spur more highrise residential to boot. And the absolute worst case scenario is that we'll have one more area (besides Bayou Place to hangout downtown past 5 o'clock. Could this really be so gloomy. Houston has been very slow to change, but things are about to pick up speed. Just wait and see.

I personally can't wait for Discovery Green. More parking (that's not surface lots), more of the already awesome tunnel system, a new park downtown AND high-rise developments. As soon as Houston Pavillions opens, I'm going to move there and just sell the car!!!

I think you forgot what city this is.... In Houston, we build first, and pay the consequences later. This is a gambler's town, and that's exactly what wulfe is doing with this project.

This is a very smart project, and for one main reason, location. It is virtually equidistant from the Medical Center as well as ALL of Houston's major universities. Especially for UH and TSU, it would benefit to have some substantial development in the area, as well as to revitalize the 3rd Ward.
