Autry Park

Something big may be coming to this development where Hanover's highrise and midrise are nearing completion.

Per the Memorial Heights TIRZ September agenda packet:

It sounds like this would be the lowrise retail + residential tower on the N side of the project, next to the apartment tower under construction. From a few pages back, we got a preview of what this might be:

"SITE B1
2 or 5 Story Mixed Services Concept TBD
End user is driving final concept. Once identified, design concept to be progressed further.

SITE B
High Rise TBD
No status currently"

The meeting packet identified Site B as the one I just mentioned. Recent renderings show a tower ~32 stories and a 1-2 story retail center there, so the plans may have changed (upsized even!) recently.

Per the layout in the PDF, the office park phase will be on the southeastern corner of the property while the residential/retail phase will be along the northern edge, facing Buffalo Bayou.

The Oliver Sawyer Yards - is that an industrial area transitioning to residential/mixed use?

Yes. It's been somewhat of an artists enclave for quite a while though. It's just been in the past 15 or so years, it's exploded with residential and retail growth.

Excavator on site for the 4944 Woodway demolition. The developer would need to build tall. There are highrise buildings surrounding the site. The typical 5-story multifamily would be hidden.

Hines breaks ground on 53-acre Levit Green life sciences district near TMC

By Jeff Jeffrey – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Oct 5, 2021

Houston-based Hines has broken ground on a 53-acre development that promises to put Houston on the map as a life sciences hub on par with San Francisco, San Diego and the famed Life Sciences Corridor in Boston.

Hines, with financial support from investment management firm Harrison Street and 2MLN Real Estate Interests, have begun construction work on Levit Green. The development will be near the interchange of Highway 288 and Holcombe Boulevard/Old Spanish Trail, just east of the Texas Medical Center.

The first phase of the project focuses on a five-story, 270,000-square-foot building that is custom-designed to house life sciences research and development projects.

The first building of the mixed-use development is scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022, with initial occupancy planned for December 2022.

“Breaking ground at Levit Green marks a pivotal moment for Houston as a burgeoning life science cluster,” said John Mooz, senior managing director at Hines. “Our carefully built team of national life science leasing, design and capital experts has put a tremendous amount of thought and effort into Building I’s planning and design. We are confident that our team will deliver one of the highest-quality commercial laboratory assets in the world. We are excited to begin the first of several top-tier projects at Levit Green that are important to the life sciences sector.”

Levit Green 1, as the first building is known, will be the first of nine buildings planned for the site under Hines’ master plan for Levit Green.

The first building will be equipped with 100% redundant emergency power, enhanced structural vibration attenuation, augmented mechanical systems, 33-foot structural bay depths and floorplates exceeding 56,000 square feet. Additionally, the building's amenities will include a 5,800-square-foot fitness center and outdoor garden, 7,000-square-foot conference center, 3,500 square feet of café and restaurant space, and ample on-site parking. The ground floor will also have more than 25,000 square feet of lab incubator space, which will provide entrepreneurs and early-stage life science companies with laboratory and office space.

POST Houston is almost ready to open its doors

The former post office is now a massive multipurpose building with a food hall, concert venue and more.
Abigail Rosenthal
Oct. 5, 2021

It’s been years since the downtown warehouse that was once the Barbara Jordan Post Office had a permanent resident. But the colossal shell of brutalist architecture just off I-45 is almost ready for its new era as POST Houston, a massive multipurpose complex incorporating a coworking space, arts center, food hall, rooftop garden and LiveNation venue in one.

“The building itself is like Houston in a way,” said Kirby Liu, Lovett Commercial’s director of development and the project manager for the 550,000 square-foot project, which is opening its first phase on Nov. 13. “It has a very muted exterior, but then you discover great things inside. That’s how I feel about the city itself.”

Named in the 1980s to honor the first Black woman elected to Congress in the South, the Barbara Jordan Post Office and its attached multi-story structure were once home to Houston's headquarters for the United States Postal Service before the complex was shuttered and mail operations were moved to Midtown in 2015. Lovett Commercial acquired the property shortly after and has been working on renovation plans since.

Designed by international architecture firm OMA, the POST Houston project doesn’t just honor the building’s history in name alone. While the building’s monolithic exterior remains largely unchanged, once inside eagle-eyed visitors will notice transformations that borrow from the remnants of the historical post office’s past. The line that once separated the public from the post office’s inner workings is now marked by a hotel lobby desk and bar. The post office’s high-security vaults will become art installations. The famous “spy tunnels” and their portholes that allowed supervisors to surveil postal workers can still be spotted throughout the building. And the original turquoise paint will continue to adorn the building’s interior columns.

“It’s basically like the biggest recycling project you’ve ever seen,” OMA partner Jason Long said. “We tried to keep everything as raw as we could so that these elements that are new, really stand out against them—but then we could take as much advantage as we could of the patina of the building.”
