Can't wait until some of these projects start out of the ground, which isn't going to be until early next year. That will make the image a bit more, umm, concrete. |
More renderings of 900 Preston

I believe that Block 35 is the Market Square garage on the west side of the square. So Congress, Louisiana, Milam, and Preston.

Hehe...Dallas Street...Then again Dallas has a Houston Street.
Regarding the Dome, meh. I used to be sentimental, but I think the mourning period with the open casket wake is done and it's time to bury the dead. Put the Dome out of its misery. total gut job, deface its architectural integrity..it kind of defeats the purpose of keeping it IMO. |
In that last rendering, where exactly is that new tower suposed to be? It appears as if it is floating above GreenStreet.

The Astoria will be a pretty cool building since its located on such a small plot of land. Id like to see more towers built on smaller plots of land instead of using an entire city block for one building.

I despise 99% of suburbia, but man, The Woodlands sure is doing it right. Its really quite amazing and should be a blueprint for the rest of Americas exurbs and suburbs. Of course, The Woodlands has a ton of money which helps too.

Well Photolith....more coming to the suburbs of Houston. Already posted but this time they have the sign up and a 15 storyish building appeared way in the back....Kingwood Park

The City is looking at different options for the sections of I-45 and I-59 that surround downtown, to give the city better connection to Midtown, the East End and improve pedestrian activity. Alternatives include: Tunnels, parkway, one-way loop and removal.

Just like Forbes Magazine said... "Houston is becoming an International City"

thanks for posting those Urbannizer. i couldnt figure out how to capture images from the PDF without taking screenshots. the tunnels are amazing and would be a game changer for downtown, but in all reality, thats the most expensive alternative i would imagine, so it probably wont happen. i wouldnt mind them tearing down 45 and rerouting it along 59 and 10. i schemed up the same thing about a few weeks ago on HAIF. it doesnt do much for opening downtown to the East End (unless they tunnel 59 like it looks like they have planned in that proposal also, though that one has a much narrower elevated portion than currently existing, for the 45 reroute.. still, its a "barrier"), but it would do a ton for opening up downtown to midtown and could allow for developers to finally break the "barrier" of downtown and 45, and develop those parts of midtown seamlessly with downtown.

i also noticed they have a design in place for 6 Houston Center. think its just a place holder or possibly the new tower? |

As for 6 Houston Center, your right. That's the new design. |

So far I would love to see the Scheme D break ground in Houston. But I think that one will also be one of the most expensive projects, just for the fact that they're going to need water pumps to keep the tunnels dry. |
oh and also Scheme A. That would be a major deal to reduce traffic on 45 South Bound

I had no idea there was even any consideration, any ideas on the table, for redesigning the freeway loop around Houston, albeit to foster a more urban environment. This speaks volumes, especially about a Texas city. I always found Texas to be amazing in that it's still building freeways left and right like it's 1979, and I understood, because land in the state is nearly an infinite resource.

And what's that mid rise looking tower on the opposite side of market square park? That lot has half a parking lot on it and didnt realize it had any plans to be developed.

It looks to be about 13 stories tall from that model. Glad to see all that atrocious parking going away. Great times for downtown Houston. Wish there were this many projects going on or on the way when I lived in Houston house downtown.

Two different mixed-use projects I stumbled upon. Fairly recent, not sure how serious the two proposals are but both have done some work that does exist.
