IF Midtown was to get enough high and mid rises, Hermann Park would be our version of Central Park with development all around it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 7 hours ago, Timoric said: I always have another thought, there must be a 10 square block or even less area of Manhattan with more Square Footage than all ofDowntown Houston, it is just that much more dense looking. Would be very difficult. Lower Manhattan is about 70 million SF vs. 40 million for downtown Houston and that is way way more than 10 blocks. Areas around Grand Central and Radio City Music Hall are pretty dense but 4 million SF per block is like averaging a Sears Tower per block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) For Midtown/Downtown to become anything like Manhattan in density, it basically means that almost every single building that's not explicitly a high rise or a building with irreplaceable historic value would have to be torn down. The stadiums in the downtown area preclude that anyway, though--there probably is a point when it's simply uneconomical to have a big stadium downtown with its need for excessive parking, but we're not at that point yet.

By the time downtown Houston's real estate is that expensive, I have a suspicion that on-site parking requirements will be less due to either autonomous cars or years of price wars on Uber-like services 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenOlenska Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 What type of parking is there for Madison Square Garden? Must be some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Quote For most events, you may purchase a pre-paid parking voucher through Ticketmaster or at the Box Office. These vouchers can be redeemed at participating area garages. Please see your parking voucher for details and garage locations. https://www.msg.com/madison-square-garden/directions Looking at google maps, there's a bunch of garages around it, but they are integrated with their buildings. It's unclear how many are available for parking for major events. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyc_tex Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I don't believe there is any underground or designated parking for MSG. Penn Station is underneath it as is another smaller theater space that fits probably 3-5k people. The only parking is on streets or in garages scattered all over the city. People overwhelmingly rely on mass transit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figure was based on the most recent filings (2015) to the FAA by the developers.
