I doubt (just my opinion here) people attracted to coastal resorts are the same people attracted to Houston. People go to Galveston for fun in the sun. People go to Houston for museums, performing arts, food, food and food, nightlife, cultural diversity, shopping, sports, and NASA. I suspect people specifically visiting Houston are more likely to add a day trip to Galveston than the other way around. |

Again, I'm not saying it's going to be the next Orlando or San Antonio or whatever, but I'm also not saying the new stuff is solely for the locals. It's more likely to grow over the upcoming years as a regional option for tourism and the money in that pot will only increase. That's pretty much it. For what it's worth, Houston as a market is doing relatively well it seems based on the hotel information from January per CoStar. The CFP was likely a driver for group sales, but to me, that's all the better. The amount of events the Sports Authority has been landing for venues in the city proper that tend to draw a broader national & international audience stands only to increase the number of city and area visitors in upcoming years as well. |
The Ion/Ion District
Looks like the block with the Ion Garage to the northwest and Greentown Labs to the southwest (San Jacinto / Cleburne / Caroline / Eagle) will be redeveloped into grad student housing of some kind. c/o hindesky on HAIF https://i.imgur.com/50nbscXh.png https://i.imgur.com/aB3LjSWh.png https://i.imgur.com/qq6A86Yh.png https://i.imgur.com/KGjAWXwh.png https://i.imgur.com/RGxnbOch.png https://i.imgur.com/5LjVjy2h.png |

A lot of the new people think they're moving to either and it turns out not to be the case pretty often in terms of the city itself. So many of the communities along the Grand Parkway or Westpark Tollway or FMs 359 or 723 are in those cities' respective zip codes but in someone else's ETJ entirely and in neither's city limits whatsoever. Richmond hasn't done a lot of annexing to extend it's boundaries, but Sugar Land pretty famously did about 10 years ago and added about 30,000 people by taking in a few older subdivisions that were already fairly well associated with the city. They may do it again in the not too distant future. Rosenberg has been doing it bit by bit over the past couple of decades in each direction, though the bulk of it has been south and west. The ETJ is pretty extensive, engulfing Beasley and extending to Kendleton's ETJ. The city limits actually wrap around parts of Beasley as well now. What a change. Quote:
For the northwest point, that's getting to be a bit tricky IMO. Pretty much anything along 290 through Waller County up to Hempstead would work since that's starting to fill-in pretty quickly. Also Magnolia along the Aggieland Expressway... that's within 20 miles of Navasota and 45 miles to the south side of College Station at this point! Feels faster when you drive it, of course. I'm interested in seeing how long Rosenberg is the southwestern point though. The amount of development that is coming to that part of Fort Bend County and even further southwest toward Kendleton & the San Bernard River/Wharton County line is insane. The Southwest Freeway is a solid 6 lanes / feeders / HOV all the way from Rosenberg back into the city. It's 6 lanes pretty much uninterrupted just past Rosenberg and back toward Kendleton now. Even in Wharton County, the 6-lane configuration is being built out in a couple of sections right now, both on the north and south sides of Wharton and southwest toward El Campo. I kind of ran into the same surprise driving into town on I-45 last year. The area now feels like it STARTS at Huntsville. Sure, there are breaks in development, but with the interstate under construction along the way, it didn't feel like it. It definitely picks up back around New Waverly and Willis though. |
^ The freeway part of I-10 on the West side starts 58 miles from Downtown now.

Anyway, to be VERY specific, I wish the buildings in that rendering were on Allen Parkway and not in The Woodlands. |

Knowles-Rowland House, Phase II
A 15-story tower appears to be planned behind St. John's UMC in Midtown. It looks to be the 2nd phase of a redevelopment plan around the church. The first phase is a three-story building that would replace an existing gym with 31 temporary housing units for the homeless, among other amenities. This was announced last September. This new tower appears as a city planning commission agenda item for tomorrow's meeting.

For a Randall Davis development, at least this one isn't too garish and ugly.
