^ It's Houston. Since when does that matter? There's no zoning and that is in and around the Museum District so there are presumably other high-rises near by.

There's word of future phases so hopefully will get some residential here.

I'm there often enough, my wife works down there. Downtown certainly has improved and I love Finn Hall and the Conservatory but the livelihood still largely depends on major events; games, concert or convention. Otherwise, it's going to be pretty dead. Not uncommon to be there on a Saturday night and it be pretty quiet there if there no games or other events going on.
I disagree about the Post Office. I live in the suburbs and if I go check this place out, I'm more than likely hit up downtown for a drink at Dean's afterwards. Perhaps that's just me but the two can compliment one another.
