Project in brief: The site for this tower once was the home to the studios of KHOU-TV. The building was
demolished in 2018 after flooding from 2017's Hurricane Harvey rendered the building unusable. The land that once held the studios and parking lot was sold to SCI (Service Corporation International) at the time
demolition was taking place. The company has a site adjacent to the east of that piece of land where their headquarters is located in a 12-story building constructed in 1972.
The current plan is to construct the new tower and demolish the existing one, repurposing the land for a mixed-use development. The tower is expected to be built between 2023 & 2025. There is no timeline for the remainder of the development. Gensler is the architect.
