Great addition to that section of Downtown ... will be a great view approaching the city from the east.

"Grand Texas Theme Park in New Caney has announced that it will start construction on its Big Rivers Waterpark in August, with an estimated opening of summer 2018. Construction on the main Grand Texas theme part is expected to begin after the water park is already in operation."

My gut tells me downtown will continue to draw new tenants faster than surrounding areas... It's coming to life as residents continue to migrate in; new hotels, restaurants, bars are delivering; the adjacent Buffalo Bayou Park is finished; and the Super Bowl buzz will soon skyrocket. New retail is inevitable. Downtown is going to be the new "It" place to live.
Agree ... it's amazing all of the residential projects being completed Downtown ... Market Square, near Minute Maid Park, near the new Sky House towers .... Downtown is finally becoming a place to live.

That is right next to the new apartment tower. Seems as if they will interfere with each others views. I guess they can wave out the windows to each other.
My thoughts exactly.

"The 60th floor Sky Lobby at the Chase Tower in Downtown Houston has recently closed to the public, according to a representative. According to a representative, the closure is permanent and was done in the interest of the building's tenants."

Awesome news

Q: So what becomes of this in say, 15-20 years or so, when we all take a self-driving Uber everywhere, and no one has a need to own a personal vehicle any longer? Can a garage such as this be converted to anything, or will it inevitably have a date with the wrecking ball? Are we in the midst of the peak of parking garage glory days?
I think as long as you have people driving in from further outside the city (where it's cheaper to drive a car than use Uber) you'll still need parking garages.

Well we are all but guaranteed 5,000 new residential units downtown, so there will be about 7,500 downtown units by the time the Super Bowl rolls around.. It's just a matter of will the residential development continue in downtown once the incentives fun dry, but with all the new rail projects, the new parks, the urbanization geographical shift, and the planned retail district, residential activity continuing in downtown is practically assured.
Hopefully. I own a place in the Medical Center ... my plan is to eventually move Downtown.

Awesome photos Triton!! Downtown is poised to turn into everything we all have hoped for.
It's a slow process but it's finally getting there.... they just need to keep up with the residential development. Nothing is gonna happen unless people actually live Downtown.

I love the improvement, but it probably would have been quicker to tear it down and just build a new building.

Splashtown has been investing a ton of money improving the park (was there on Wednesday) ... wonder if this is partially out of fear of the new competition coming.

Taken at the height of the Disco Era, judging by the presence of One Houston (1978) and the absence of the tower at South Texas College of Law (started in 1982)
Can't believe there was a time where THIS was acceptable ...... so glad to see things changing.

This is very close to my place ... will be a nice addition to the neighborhood.

They really brought that building down FAST!

Love Hermann Park ... I live 2 blocks from Smith Land station so on weekends I take the train ... so much easier than looking for parking.

Anna Wintour seems to be enjoying herself.
