I think The Woodlands' orderliness provides a good counter to Houston's chaos, much like Sugar Land.
I do wish the Houston metro would take more care with its only natural treasure, trees. Seems like giving Montgomery, Harris, Fort Bend County, etc. the ability to better enforce those rules would be the most effective. Unfortunately, that's very unlikely. |
Personally, I've always thought that if the concept of Suburbia were to have its interpretation of a CBD and/or "urban" area it would be The Woodlands Waterway/Market Street...very manicured

Some TMC updates from Paco Jonnes on HAIF:

I read once a few years ago that the TMC was about the size of Denver's CBD. With all of the towers built/announced since then I wonder what city's CBD it rivals now?
|
i think it was already larger than dallas cbd.
|
Wow!

^Is that today compared to yesterday?

Looks nice.

Home2 Suites / Tru by Hilton Hotel Quote:
This is about a block from the Toyota Center and catty-corner to Camden's new apartment tower. It only takes up a quarter of the block. |
The Texas Medical Center is already the largest medical center in the world and is still growing! Houston Methodist opened Walter Tower in 2018, Texas Children's opened an expansion tower a year before that, and Memorial Hermann opened the Susan and Fayez Sarofim Pavilion this year. CHI St. Luke's has an on again, off again expansion on Old Spanish Trail that might eventually replace their main hospital on Fannin Street. The Harris County Psychiatric Center is expanding, Texas A&M is building and refurbishing a quad of buildings next to the TMC transit center, and the huge TMC3 complex should break ground this year. These projects are a huge boon to Houston's economy, especially considering how many well-paying, recession-resistant jobs they support.
I like the Granduca's concrete exterior based on those renderings. The top looks art deco. The 107 units are going to have a high price to cover the cost of a 34 floor tower. |
TexasPlaya, what does your signature mean exactly? This one:
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in. |

Not an angle we typically see in photos, and I love how it features some of the newest towers most prominently, and the right side is about to fill in even more.

Really exciting news. If there's some silverlining to Covid is that it may spur more life science investment that Houston can capture. Here's an aerial of the Levit Green site from CrockPotandGravel on HAIF: https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/...f3f3fd8fef0e5e |
