    The Main Street Enhancement Project focuses on safety, aesthetics, environmental considerations and connectivity. Residents, business owners, visitors and tourists will benefit from the upgrades made to area, which is an important site for transit between NRG Stadium and downtown. More lighting and widened sidewalks are just a couple of enhancements on this project. From an aesthetics standpoint, new landscaping and street furniture will accentuate the modern look and feel of the area, encouraging merchants to set up businesses in the area, and welcoming residents to look to Midtown for their new home. The project will also encourage nearby private development. http://houstonmidtown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Main-Street.pdf

    My friend is a land surveyor and he said just last week they finished up some surveying for Regent Square.
  11. lockmat
    It would be near their current park? What would they do with old one?

    How do you guys feel this compares to Post Midtown Square? They're very similar. But Regent Square has more square footage and taller buildings, a park and includes retail. Both have all their buildings street facing and are apart of the street scene unlike ROD. Post midtown was truly the first of its kind in Houston. RS however takes it to another level. It would be a shame if developers didn't do their best to follow its lead after this starts to build out - embarrassing, really. ROD, City Centre Regent Square

    Hopefully like the original ROD plans with the high rises.

    Maybe somewhere in Buffalo Bayou would be better? DG is kind of packed already

    Is the a picture pre and post Shamrock available?

    Sorry for the poor quality but the green facade on a few of the floors on the east side is really cleaned up. If you look closely it's tile. It will be interesting to see how the rest of this block is developed. I'm also curious if the connected garage will ever be demolished (wishful thinking) or if they're at least going to clean it up.

    Good observation. I'm not sure Miller has the same amount of traffic as DG but I still agree with you. Is Miller's grass st. augustine? I'm not a grass expert but the grass in DG is better for looking at and not so much traffic. It's too fine and soft. Its not as pretty but I think they'll eventually have to go to St. augustine.

    Has this been posted? Description: The Maker District is a collection of existing light industrial / distribution buildings intended for redevelopment as artist spaces within the emerging Washington Avenue Arts District. The conceptual master plan seeks to maintain the authentic qualities of this industrial landscape and create a clear brand identity through select interventions. The plan establishes a framework for a district that offers makers and artists the tools and inspiration to reach their potential while creating a citywide arts-based destination. The plan speaks to the markers, the creative class, to those who make the content that fuels our consumer economy. The plan envisions a mix of uses, from creative space for makers to housing, retail, entertainment, arts education, wellness and an urban farm with market. Social spaces encourage interaction, the exchange of ideas; the plan shapes key spaces, like Artist Alley, for this purpose. Through minimal expenditure the plan creates a connected campus with a clear brand identity, a campus that can be realized in a phased manner over time. The result is a cohesive, smart, functional and affordable arts-based district. Role: Conceptual Master Planning Clients: The Deal Companies, Western General, Lovett Commercial Collaborators: Studio Red Architects Date Complete: 2015 Area: 36 acres (14.57 hectares) http://www.terrain-studio.com/projects/the-maker-disctrict

    It's huge in person, too.

    Of course! That's only one video out of a series of about 20! They're all really good, too.

    More changes are coming to DG. According to the video below, where this rendering comes from, they're looking to make the northwest corner more open to people entering the park from that direction. Also, for those who haven't been in a while (like myself), they added a raised deck with small metal tables and chairs along the southern edge of the great lawn. Apparently that area was heavily used and the grass couldn't sustain the traffic. Guess that means they're getting rid of the rest of the great lawn (sarcasm)

    I like the new plan better. I hope they still plan on making changes to three allen center, too.

    Incredible project. I'm surprised nobody is commenting on this. I know the term game changer has been used on this forum quite a bit on HAIF, but this could be another case, at least for downtown or this side of downtown. The East side has DG and the north Market Square. This along with Exxon's urban campus could be a good anchor for this area. The fact they're defining this as a "public" park and allowing the surrounding employees to use the space is a big deal. Hopefully this leads the way in terms of landscape architecture for future downtown and other urban developments. I don't think every development needs a green space but for a campus of this size downtown it brings a lot of value. The only downside is that besides the warm bodies the Hyatt-Regency across the street provides, it makes for a deplorable structural and visually interactive neighbor. I wouldn't mind seeing them tear that thing down one day. This goes perfect with a video I just watched...Houston, Leading with Landscape. Anyone work on this side of downtown?

    Good find but disappointed to learn this is only exists because of a design competition.
