"The land is still under contract and is still a parking lot, but the project site consists of 1.44 acres on the southeast corner of Main and Bell streets, just a block north of another incentive project: SkyHouse Houston, Novare Group Inc.’s $65 million high-rise.
Alliance wants to build a 207-unit, four-story community above parking."

Nice. This is turning into a cool area with the Savoy redevelopment, Skyhouse/retail, and now this complext next door which looks like it could contain some retail.

"An agreement to build a second convention center hotel downtown has been finalized, city officials announced today.
Documents were executed with Houston-based Rida Development Corp., which will build the 1,000-room hotel, a Marriott Marquis just west of the George R. Brown Convention Center. The city approved the project late last year.
“With this agreement, Rida can now begin work in earnest,” Mayor Annise Parker said in a statement. “It’s an exciting project that will help increase our convention business and generate more activity in downtown Houston.”

Good stuff. Unfortunetly I wont be able to attend the party today after work. I like the outdoor patio idea along Dallas st.

I agree with livincinco. Everyone knows that downtown needs more residents and hotel rooms. So the fact that we are adding 166 more hotel rooms is a plus. While losing 88 apartments is a minor setbeck, SkyhouseHouston (336 apts) and Finger's Ballpark apts (380-400 apts) will add ~720 units over the next couple of years. Also the old Texaco building will be renevated into apartments in the near future. Keep calm and carry on...

Nice. Hopefully the retail development on the southern half of that block along gray gets built also.

I guess you'll be the one to provide construction picture updates

Great news! I passed by the site on the way to work this morning and was wondering when it would break ground.

Very nice! Can't wait for all of the proposed downtown projects to begin construction and come online in time for the Final Four (2016) and Super Bowl (2017).
