    looks like this is official http://blog.chron.co...nent-locations/ "HISD officials have said HSPVA will move downtown. The new school is planned for the 1300 block of Capitol near Discovery Green and Minute Maid Park. The district-owned site is now being used for parking. Grier said the school could be be built atop a parking structure on the site."

    I spoke with Post. They said plans for this lot have been on hold since they are concentrating their resources on bigger projects. They still plan to do something with the lot and a few different proposals have been passed around. It seems they have not received variance approval on the original plans. I guess this could mean it could be housing, retail, plaza, etc

    http://www.chron.com...ing-3994538.php "Last year, Crosspoint sold some of the land it owns in Midtown to the Morgan Group, a Houston-based apartment developer planning its second complex in the area. The 154-unit project, dubbed Pearl Midtown, will be built on the block bounded by Smith, Elgin, Louisiana and Rosalie streets. Wallace Garcia Wilson Architects designed the building, which will have four stories of apartments above two levels of parking. Construction is expected to start next month."

    http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Development-in-Midtown-on-an-upswing-3994538.php "Camden expects to break ground on its project in about a year. The apartments, which will contain about 300 units in a seven-story building, will go up on the southern half of the so-called Superblock, a long parcel of land undivided by cross streets bordered Main, McGowen, Travis and Anita. The Midtown Redevelopment Authority is planning a three-acre park on the northern portion of the property. The authority, which oversees public improvements to the area, also plans to build an underground parking garage beneath the park and retail space on its two northern corners."

    Would be cool if they create a lot of retail around the park. Check out these pictures of Parque Kennedy in Lima. http://www.flickr.com/photos/30484512@N02/2856724762/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/mbernalvidal/3194919275/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjdelc/254581308/

    http://houston.cultu...me-celeb-chefs/ Skanska, which is part of a large Swedish multi-national corporation, also is planning a major office tower in downtown Houston. Skanska will demolish the old Houston Club building at 811 Rusk and start a new office tower shortly. Mondshine said the Skanska downtown tower is in the design stage.

    http://houston.culturemap.com/newsdetail/09-26-12-new-convention-center-hotel-is-full-speed-ahead-see-its-striking-planned-look/ The new convention center hotel will be built directly north of Discovery Green — mirroring Hilton Americas-Houston, the 1,200-room hotel connected to the convention center by two skywalks — on a 6.7-acre space that is currently a surface parking lot. Houston First says that it will construct a 1,800-space parking garage on the north side of the George R. Brown with first-floor retail space. The process for that garage, which will serve both the general public and convention hotel visitors, is expected to begin later this year.

    http://www.chron.com...gie-3863683.php "The land saved is used as playing fields; once they're finished, they'll be open to the public outside of school hours, effectively functioning as a city park." "He talked wistfully about things that could happen there, once he rounds up enough money: that the theater could be open to the public, for talks or Saturday-morning children's theater; that the shops' old display windows could be used to showcase student work to passersby; and not least, that Carnegie's enthusiastic young actors and playwrights would finally have a stage worthy of their productions."

    Check out the sidewalk behind the white house. Will be small unfortunately, probably because it backs up to the lady's property line. They are 5' wide and they make a point to go around the electical pole, so it will be 5' throughout.

    http://houston.culturemap.com/newsdetail/08-16-12-raw-transformation-an-exclusive-first-look-at-diverseworks-new-midtown-art-space/ "We wanted to be a part of this," Elizabeth Dunbar, DiverseWorks executive director, tells CultureMap on an impromptu tour of the premises. Dunbar was referring to her neighbors on the other side of the building— the artists who will occupy 21 work spaces in Art Square, where only two vacant spaces remain.

    I think you're right. They said they had some opposition to Phase IV so they decided to sit on that option for a little, but I think they still plan on building there. There is another thread with renderings.
