Delmar Field house has multiple problems with there infrastructure and a leaky roof. It sad to see an unique building being demolished but HISD is in need of a new field house.   

Couple more rendering on the New Dome Experience from the KHUF flickr site.  

I go to college at Texas State University at San Marcos and I am planning to come home the last week of October for early voting to vote Yes for the New Dome Experience. Even thought I am only 19 I always loved the dome and it would be a sad tragedy if we basically tear down are greatest landmark in this city. I think $8 is not a horrible price to save the Eight Wonder of the World.

The 11-story hotel will be developed by College Station-based Oldham Goodwin Group and Phin-Ker of Houston. The group expects to break ground on the 261-room property by January and open by the summer of 2015.

Actually the Hyatt is by a different developer.

Isn't that the same as the existing?

No, it looks very similar but from the chronicle its states

 

 

- Galleria III, a wing that includes the Macy's store facing Sage, will be torn down to make way for a Saks Fifth Avenue flagship.

- The current Saks space will be renovated to hold about 35 new stores and maybe restaurants.

- Macy's will consolidate into its department store that faces West Alabama and Hidalgo.

- A building for a few high-end tenants will be built in the surface parking lot along Westheimer.

New Website

I found this on the Kirksey website which states that they are planning a central library in the midtown superblock. 

Does anyone knows if this is happening or not?

The updated site plan. The list of stores looks very exciting!!

The Mayor wrote a statement that gives me a little hope.

Macy’s real estate group in Cincinnati elected to close the downtown Houston location because of future plans for the store block, but they continue to believe that the Houston downtown area is a highly desirable location for an urban store. Since early this year, the Downtown District has been working closely with Macy’s, the property owner 1110 Main Partners LP and the Mayor’s Office to identify potential sites downtown for redevelopment or new construction.

“After further investigation by the building’s owner, no financially feasible scenario was found for maintaining a smaller store in the old structure,” said Bob Eury, Executive Director for the Houston Downtown Management District. “A new location is our only option, and quite frankly, a new, smaller store will bode better for downtown in the long run.”

The task force will report to Andrew F. Icken, Chief Development Officer for the Mayor, and will be chaired by Fred Griffin of Griffin Partners. Members include Eury; Jonathan Brinsden with the Midway Companies, owner of Houston Pavilions; George Levan, President of Crosspoint Properties; Doug Kelly with 1110 Main Partners LP; The Finger Companies’ Marvy Finger; Dawn Ullrich, President of Houston First Corporation; Ed Wulfe of Wulfe & Co; and Xavier Pena and Deborah Keyser of the Downtown Redevelopment Authority
