Methodist Healthcare expects to spend about $250 million to expand two of its facilities — Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children’s Hospital.
Both hospitals are located in the South Texas Medical Center. Work on the project will begin next year.
Methodist officials say the hospital system will gain more than 445,000 additional square feet of space as a result of the expansion, which was necessitated by increasing demand for services in the region.
One of the key elements of the planned expansion is a new, six-story patient-care tower and new entrance for Methodist Children’s Hospital.
The expansion plan also includes a new, nine-story parking garage that will provide patient access to surgical suites.
The Swedish company, officially known as Hennes & Mauritz AB, announced Tuesday in a news release that a 27,000-square-foot location at the Northwest Side shopping center would be part of its 2014 expansion, but it did not give an official opening date.
This development is located in an area that hasn't seen much development so this will be a great addition even if it's just a suburban apartment complex.
The citizens were heard late into the night. After more than five hours of discussion, the commission voted seven to two against the SUP. They recommended a reduction of its density and height yet again.
It looks like it might have a small amount of hope left. According to this article, the City Council can override the planning and zoning commissions ruling.
Are they even going to profit on this? I love how there are signs across the street that says no high-rise in Alamo Heights. But it's like, it was seriously only a few stories. Oh AH...

I know.
I wanted to go get some duck tape and cover up "high" and write "low" on all the signs they put up.

Ha ha I think that's a great idea. That building looks so good and blends in really well. I would love something like that in my neighborhood. It just makes a nice place even nicer.
The fact that it got denied, is actually pretty sad.
I just hope people have a change of attitude before its too late. At the rate that Lower Broadway is developing, the older style strip centers in AH might hollow out, making it not so visually appealing to outsiders; perhaps then they might get it.
It is the city trying to escape the consequences of being a city
while still remaining a city. It is urban society trying to eat its
cake and keep it, too.

Even that article calls it a mid rise. Really? 55 feet is now considered a mid rise? There are streets with ROW bigger than that. I can't at the vocabulary that gets thrown around my the media regarding this project.
The new WellMed building will be located off of McCullough Ave. It's basically going to be built in the parking lot of their current building on McCullough.
