Over the last few days, there has been a bit of buzz regarding a certain piece of land that is currently a surface parking lot at the intersection of Main Street & Dryden Road in the Texas Medical Center. It would be across from Rice's Collaborative Research Center and bordered by Baylor Clinic's garage & office building and the Hilton Hotel. There is a variance request sign at the location and since it was placed, the local civic club has made a presentation to the city's planning council on the magnitude of the project.
The project itself would be a 40 story hotel & condominium tower, with parking in the base of the building.

planning commission meeting. Skip ahead to about 14:00 for the start of the presentation.
