HOUSTON | Houston Astros / Minute Maid Park Mixed-Use Site | FT / M | FLOORS

I placed this in highrise developments as though there's no current indication of the height or size of the buildings, it's generally understood by most following this that there will be least one highrise or skyscraper in the mix (the hotel).

Houston Astros hope to break ground on connected hotel, entertainment center in the fall

The Houston Astros hope to start construction on a mixed-use project adjacent to Minute Maid Park as early as this fall.

Astros owner Jim Crane told the Houston Business Journal that the organization plans to build a hotel and entertainment center connected to the stadium. Crane said the development would be similar to The Battery Atlanta in Atlanta and Ballpark Village in St. Louis. Both developments feature a number of work and entertainment options adjacent to the stadiums of their Major League Baseball team counterparts.

The development will include a high-end, 4-star hotel, but the team has yet to secure a brand for the hotel, Crane said. The entertainment district is slated to include restaurants and an indoor tailgating area that can be used year-round. It will also include a walkway above the street, which will take guests directly to the club level of the ballpark.

The organization has hired an architecture firm and construction company for the project, Crane said, but the team did not confirm which companies it's working with prior to publication. Crane said the organization hopes to break ground on the project following the conclusion of the Astros’ season and that it could take about three years to complete. He added that the team might build the development in phases, with some parts of the entertainment district opening sooner than others.
