Pierce Elevated Redevelopment / Possible 'Sky Park'

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/bus...e-17742026.php

It’s not just McDonald's: Future Greyhound closure, proposed 'sky park' could transform Midtown

Marissa Luck,
Staff writer
Jan. 27, 2023
Updated: Jan. 27, 2023 9:47 a.m.

The now closed McDonald's in Midtown isn't the only parcel at play in the area that could – when combined with a major proposed "sky park’ – help to reshape the southern edge of downtown.

The Greyhound bus station next to McDonald’s in Midtown is expected to close next year, laying the groundwork for a potential redevelopment opportunity in an area on the cusp of a major transformation. The site is near where economic developers are pitching a proposed elevated park on top of a section of Interstate 45 slated to be abandoned if state officials can move forward with their massive overhaul of the highway.

The proposed sky park is steps away from the Greyhound bus station at 2121 Main Street. A spokesperson for Greyhound said the bus station is open and running now, but they acknowledged Greyhound is looking for a different site.

Greyhound’s leaseback ends in October 2024, according to real estate brokerage Cushman and Wakefield, which is marketing the 1.44-acre property for sale on behalf of Twenty Lake Holdings.

“Midtown has experienced a continued transformation which will be amplified by the transition from the Greyhound Bus Station to its future use,” said Kristen McDade of Cushman and Wakefield, in a statement. “This redevelopment opportunity will completely change the face of Midtown and should directly impact the quality of day-to-day living in this area.”

South TMC: Life Science and Biomanufacturing Campus

Pretty much at the southern terminus of the Main St line, phase 1 of this new life science campus will break ground sooner than later. Don't think this is affiliated with the TMC or university, but a private endeavor.

It's private, but it is a decent re-use of an old Sam's Club and the parking lot surrounding it. The Sam's Club would be the first phase and would be rehabbed kind of like what happened with the old Fiesta that became Greentown Labs at the Ion in Midtown. This definitely looks better though.

Good access to the transit center as the sidewalk on the west side goes right into it and gets whomever to bus and rail if they wanted to use either.

I KNOW RIGHT!?!? I live near Fannin Station and I'm just waiting for that area to finally be used for something. The land is too prime to just be sitting there empty.

Parc Binz II

Museum District office project targets medical users
The founder of Cloud 10 Creamery plans a 40,000-square-foot office and restaurant building to the neighborhood.

Katherine Feser
Jan. 27, 2023

A five-story mixed-use building is taking shape on Binz Street in the Museum District, in a walkable area of Houston two blocks from Hermann Park as the follow up to a project across the street.

Houston-based Balcor Commercial unveiled details of Parc Binz II, a 40,000-square-foot office and restaurant building going up on half an acre at 1802 Binz St. The project broke ground early last year and is targeted for completion in late 2023 or early 2024.

Parc Binz I, encompassing 50,000 square feet of office and about 10,000 square feet of restaurant space, was completed in 2014 and substantially leased up within a year and a half of opening. That building is home to Barnaby’s Café, Fadi’s, City Cellars HTX wine bar along with medical and technology tenants. The land for both buildings was purchased in 2011, according to the company.

Christopher Balat, director and founder of real estate and hospitality firm Balcor Cos., said the firm was proceeding with the development as part of a plan to create new neighborhood places in a growing area near the Texas Medical Center. With high property taxes and other costs, maximizing the use of the land by going vertical was a must, Balat said.

"It has to make financial sense. It also has to make sense to the eyes of our neighbors,” Balat said. “For us, it’s always been very important to have an urban landscape with parks and museums.”

Collaborative Designworks is the architect for the project, which represents about a $10 million investment for Balcor. Colliers is providing leasing services with Sam Hansen and Doug Pack handling office and Kimberly Lenardson on retail.

Balat started the Cloud 10 Creamery chain with Chef Chris Leung in 2011 in an attempt to spread cheer.

“I was having a bad day and I really wanted a banana split,” Balat said of the idea for the hand-crafted ice cream business, which has four scoop shops and is sold in select grocery stores.

Cloud 10 Creamery will occupy one of the three or four small restaurant spaces on the ground floor of Parc Binz II, replacing a location on Shepherd Drive that closed at the end of the year. More than half of restaurant customers at the original Parc Binz come by foot, Balat said.

“Neighbors are constantly walking in the area. It’s a really pleasant thing to see in Houston.”

Baylor St. Luke's McNair Campus / New O'Quinn Tower

Exclusive: Inside Baylor St. Luke’s new $426M tower near Texas Medical Center

By Jishnu Nair – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Jan 31, 2023

The O’Quinn Medical Tower on the McNair Medical Campus at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center is two months away from its opening date. The completed tower marks the realization of the health care system's long-planned expansion and continues a trend of growing medical campuses in the city of Houston.

The 12-story tower will be the home of the Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of only three National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in Texas. The cancer center will offer radiation therapy and other diagnostic and treatment services plus multiple specialized oncology clinics and an infusion center composed of 80 individual pods.

There will also be outpatient services, including radiology, endoscopy and an ambulatory surgery center, plus a pain center as well as a women’s center for diagnostic breast imaging.

Liz Youngblood, president of Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, told the Houston Business Journal that the consolidation of several outpatient services is intended to make patient processes easier. Several floors are designed so patients can have their entire treatment process on their designated floor, meaning they would not need to move up and down the building.

“It just becomes a destination center for patients where they can come and get everything they need, versus having to worry about ‘Where do I go for this?’” Youngblood said.

Dallas-based HKS Architects designed the project, while Houston-based Harvey Cleary Builders is the general contractor. Whitney Fuessel, a Houston principal for HKS, said the project’s design considered the health care system’s changing focus from health to wellness.

It's definitely not the largest by total area, and it's barely in Houston, but this 13-story garage for two office buildings in The Woodlands always shocks me with just how tall it is given that it's nearly 30 miles from Downtown.

Midtown Houston changes: McDonald's permanently closes, Greyhound property across street for sale


Some big changes could be coming to this area of Midtown with the McDonald's shutting down and the Greyhound bus station property across the street up for sale.

HOUSTON, Texas — You may have noticed that the lights are off and the arches are down at the Mcdonald's at the intersection of Gray and Main streets in Midtown.

The fast-food chain said the location has been permanently shut down because it is regularly reviewing its restaurant portfolios.

People who live nearby have no problem with seeing the establishment go.

“This Mcdonald's is sketchy," Joel Lowery said. "We’re happy that it’s closing down."

My friend lives on the 6th floor of 2016 Main and her unit faces the bus station and she'll love to see the view change I'm sure. If the bus station and the McDonald's flip, the city and Enterprise will probably sell the giant lot they have across the street.

Maybe 1311 Louisiana? That one is 16 levels.


Before that one was built, I probably would have guessed the one off Fannin across from The Woman's Hospital of Texas. I think it's about 14-15 levels. It was built at the same time the University Medical Plaza was built in the early 2000s, when they had built their first 10 story building and were planning to build a second 10-story building, but it never happened.
To me, it used to have one of the best views of Downtown Houston, but as the years have gone by and the TMC has gotten taller and towers have filled in elsewhere, it has diminished. It does have one of the best views over the western skylines - I know you can see Some of Memorial City, Westchase, Uptown, Greenway/Upper Kirby and Montrose's emerging cluster. To the east, you can see UofH and there's a pretty good view of the refineries near the Port of Houston as well.

Walker @ Main isn't the biggest - it's about the same size (14 or 15 levels) but it has some good memories from a few years back. Was able to get a lot of great shots when 811 Main was under construction.

The 11-story Sterling Garage that was added a few years back when the Sarofim Pavilion was built at Memorial Hermann is a favorite of mine. The ramp to get in is on an insane incline... but the view from the top is amazing. It's hard to get a good grasp of the density of the TMC from a lot of spots - though that one does a great job of showing it.

Former Houston Area Women's Center HQ sold to California apartment developer

By Jeff Jeffrey – Senior reporter, Houston Business Journal
Feb 7, 2023

A California-based multifamily developer has acquired the former home of the Houston Area Women’s Center headquarters in the Allen Parkway corridor and appears to be preparing to demolish the building to make way for a new development.

Harris County deed records show a subsidiary of San Diego-based Fairfield Residential purchased the property at 1010 Waugh Drive from the HAWC on Dec. 22. A Fairfield employee confirmed the purchase to the Houston Business Journal, though the company did not immediately respond to requests for comment about its plans for the property.

That said, a filing submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation states Fairfield is planning a 630,000-square-foot high-rise apartment building with a garage at 1010 Waugh. The TDLR filing said the new development is expected to cost $85 million by the time it is completed in 2025. Information in TDLR filings is often preliminary and subject to change.

The new apartment complex will join several others that recently opened or are underway in the immediate area, including the 290-unit luxury apartment tower called The Sovereign at Regent Square on the next block of West Dallas Street. The Sterling at Regent Square, the second residential component in Boston-based GID Development Group’s closely watched mixed-use development, opened a little over a year ago down the street. Hanover Co. also recently opened the first apartment units in its Autry Park mixed-use development in between Regent Square and the adjacent Alta River Oaks complex. Just a couple blocks north of the 1010 Waugh site, Florida-based Mill Creek Residential is building the 392-unit, 17-story Modera Waugh apartment tower across the street from Whole Foods. A couple blocks east of Whole Foods, The NRP Group's Lumen 367-unit apartment complex at 2400 W. Dallas St. is now leasing.
And today, this info from Paco Jones on HAIF

Information:
14-stories total. Levels 1-4 are parking and Levels 5-14 are residential (374,228 SF). 340 residential units with amenity/pool terrace on Level 5 and sky lounge at Level 14.
