STAFF WRITERS

Dear Readers, As I write this I know many of you are en route to Las Vegas for ICSC. I hope you have great success, get a lot of deals done and arrive home happily exhausted.

The mid-year consensus regarding the health of commercial real estate seems to be positive in all sectors. Dr. Bill Gilmer held his annual Spring Symposium on May 11 th which was titled “Is the Oil Bust Really Over?”. He anticipates Houston employment growth this year should range between 35,000 – 55,000 jobs, depending upon the pace of expansion in drilling. Although we added only 18,000 jobs in 2016, the 77,000 jobs that were lost in the oil industry was somewhat recouped in other service areas such as health care and food services.

Ryan McCord is carrying on the legacy of his father, Rick McCord, who founded McCord Development in 1973. His foresight in diligently assembling 4000, primarily landlocked acreage many years ago which was located within close proximity to IAH, Port of Houston and the proposed Beltway was visionary and led to the development of Generation Park which has defined northeast Houston (see pages 20 -21).

Seabrook also has visionaries within its city offering a lot of opportunities to developers. This former “fishing village” is absolutely charming and strives to maintain its historic atmosphere while encouraging development. This city has a small town, waterfront community feel which is unique to the region. (see pages 8-9.)

And you can read Ray’s BUZZ about Frank Liu’s big plans for the old CBD post office, as well as Jim Murnane’s Imperial Market redevelopment of the old Imperial Sugar refinery in Sugar Land on page 42. Next month we’ll explore more master-planned communities throughout Texas so please send us your suggestions. I hope you have plans for a fabulous summer vacation! Best Regards,

Soaking up Seabrook: How a former “fishing village” is building a new brand BY BRANDI SMITH

Just 30 minutes south of Houston, tucked right along State Highway 146, the town of Seabrook is quietly making waves around Clear Lake.

Though officially incorporated in 1961, the history of the town dates back to 1832. That’s when the Mexican government granted Virginian Ritson Morris a league of land. Decades later, Seabrook W. Sydnor purchased some of that land and filed a plat with the Harris County Courthouse, laying the groundwork for what would become one of Texas’ most charming coastal towns. Nestled along Galveston Bay, Seabrook quickly became a destination for local farmers, fishermen and merchants. Over time, the city became known as a get-away for those exhausted by the hustle and bustle of Houston. Just a few miles down the road, they could find rest and relaxation along the Bay. “For a long time, Seabrook was only known as a fishing village,” says Paul Chavez, Seabrook’s economic development director. “But it’s so much more than that now. We’re not your average Houston suburb.”

Paul Chavez Seabrook Economical Director

When the storm surge from Hurricane Ike barreled into Seabrook in 2008, it caused millions of dollars in damage. Who can forget the images captured afterward?: roads under water, boats dumped on land and the debris that stretched for miles. The water also flooded most homes and businesses along State Highway 146.

“Hurricane Ike was devastating,” said city manager Gayle Cook. “Rebuilding didn’t just take weeks or months.”

June 2017

Though it could be easy for a city to become overwhelmed with the task of rebuilding, leaders in Seabrook looked at it as an opportunity to reexamine what the former “fishing village” should look like in the future. As such, the city’s vision changed. “Seabrook is a sustainable, energetic and beautiful coastal community that embraces environmental stewardship, fosters safe neighborhoods and promotes tourism and economic diversity,” according to its website.

City leaders want to create a different atmosphere than you might find in some of the neighboring communities. Instead of chain restaurants and retailers, Seabrook wants to add flavor with locally owned, mom-and-pop shops.

“ When you’re ready to relax and spend time as a family, that’s where Seabrook comes into play.” - Paul Chavez “The city is fiercely proud of its independent nature,” Chavez says. “Old Seabrook really lives up to its name, offering smaller lots and a historic feel. We’re looking for small-to-medium chains, not cookie-cutter businesses. We don’t want to lose our identity.” Chavez says neighboring communities, such as Kemah, offer plenty of options from the larger chains, allowing Seabrook to foster its own atmosphere. “I like to say we are in ‘cooper-tition’ with Kemah,” says Chavez. “When you’re ready to relax and spend time as a family, that’s where Seabrook comes into play. It reflects in our community and in the businesses that come here.” In addition to creating a unique vibe with its businesses, Seabrook is making the most out of a massive project along Highway 146. TxDOT is expanding the highway because the state road is an official hurricane evacuation route and the expansion will greatly alleviate daily traffic congestion. What most cities would consider a temporary headache, Seabrook is looking at as an opportunity.

Gayle Cook City Manager

The city hired design firm SWA Group to work on a set of design standards that can be incorporated into the TxDOT contract as a way to make Seabrook stand out with its own identity. “To better brand and define our city, we will be approaching TxDOT with an altered design for the MSE wall, which looks like it’s going to be our sailboat design. The sails will be very unique as a branding element,” Cook says. “Because Seabrook has not had gateway signage, part of that project includes incorporating very distinct gateway signage at both the north and south entries into the city.”

“ We’ve been able to maintain the idea that, even though we’re growing, you can still find peace here along the water” - Gayle Cook Lucky for developers, there are plenty of prime opportunities to capitalize on. A few highlights include a 6-acre parcel on Seabrook Circle, located in the heart of the city. Its C-2 zoning allows for commercial, retail or office development just west of Highway 146 and NASA Parkway. Nearby, 3330 NASA Parkway offers 2.3 acres, which have been granted an 8-story variance for hotel, office or residential use.

Seabrook’s approach to development, along with its growing population and $110,000 average household income, is drawing a lot of interest. “The water also plays a really big role,” says Chavez. “Companies know that people want to come to the water to relax when they can.”

Then there are the more than 7 acres available for development at the intersection of Highway 146 and Red Bluff. Though it’s currently zoned C-2, the city is open to L-1 zoning as well.

“We offer a variety of incentives for potential developers,” Chavez says. “When it comes to new development opportunities, we’ll work on Chapter 380 agreements. But we can also work out a sales tax rebate, facade improvement grants and much more.” As new businesses make Seabrook home, city leaders want to make sure it still feels like home to residents.

3 They’ve constructed 13 miles of bike paths connecting the west side of Seabrook to the water on the east side. “We’ve been able to maintain the idea that, even though we’re growing, you can still find peace here along the water,” says Cook. You can find out more about development opportunities in Seabrook by contacting Chavez via phone (281-2915730) or email (pchavez@seabrooktx.gov). PHOTOGRAPHY: 1) LoopNet 2, 3) JLL June 2017

Healthcare Help: University breaks ground on new West Texas medical facility BY BRANDI SMITH

In West Texas, the need for medical care is great. The 1,000-square-mile El Paso County alone has a population of more than 830,000, but the hospitals in the region’s largest city, El Paso, also serve many neighboring communities. After all, the county shares a boundary with New Mexico, as well as an international boundary with Mexico. Physicians in the region can face a number of issues, including overwhelming demand and language barriers, which may be why the doctor-to-resident ratio in El Paso is one of the lowest in the country. In 2014, Vitals.com ranked El Paso 50 out of the 50 largest U.S. cities due to the 1-to-590 ratio. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso (TTUHSC El Paso) is actively working to improve the conditions in West Texas. Since its early beginnings in 1975, when it was known as the TTUHSC regional School of Medicine in El Paso, the school has graduated nearly 1,000 physicians. Prior to 2013, medical students earned their degrees from TTUHSC in Lubbock. 12

June 2017

Roughly 25 percent of those have stayed in the area. By comparison, only about 3 percent of physicians trained in other parts of the state relocate to West Texas.

El Paso will contribute the additional $8 million.

“One of the reasons that we exist is that if you get trained anywhere else in the state, where you train is usually where you stay for a few years at least,” says Frank Stout, TTUHSC El Paso COO. “By the time people are done training, they have partners or they're married and they have kids. They don't want to move.”

The second, third and fourth floors of the building will be dedicated to research, specifically focused on border-region diseases, including diabetes, tuberculosis and breast cancer.

The latest effort is the groundbreaking of its nearly 220,000-square-foot, $83 million Medical Sciences Building II. The five-story building is expected to more than double the university's research capacity and support the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine and Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing growing when it opens in 2019. “The community in El Paso has been extremely supportive of helping build this new medical center here and providing the care and the training for our citizens and the citizens along the border,” Stout says. He also credited the Texas Legislature for supporting the project. In 2015, lawmakers appropriated $75 million dollars for the facility's construction. TTUHSC

“The legislature's been supportive of us and our congressional delegation's been very supportive too,” says Stout.

“In the Hispanic population, breast cancer is genetically different than it is in people with more traditional European backgrounds,” Stout explains. “We have a lot of work going on in that area.” Because of the amount of research anticipated, the building will be outfitted in the most advanced IT possible, according to Stout. “It goes all the way down to the fiber and the kinds of fiber that you need to put in so it can carry the load. You have to make sure you have enough bandwidth because some of this gets really big, to be able to carry some of these large photos and so forth,” he says. In the future, the university will also focus on advancing artificial intelligence in medicine, allowing more remote diagnostics and thereby expanding care options for West Texas residents.

“We see an extremely bright future for our community, our students and also our ability to deliver high-quality healthcare to our community,” says Stout.

“If you just think of a chest X-ray for tuberculosis, you won't need a radiologist to read that anymore,” says Stout. “Once we have enough data loaded into the AI scope, the computer will be able to read that X-ray and analyze it.” The other half of the facility will be academic and include a 9,200-square-foot auditorium that can hold up to 500 people on the first floor. It will also feature a cafeteria, several classrooms, a space for reflection and an expanded library. 18

June 2017

While the Medical Sciences Building II is just minutes away from El Paso International Airport, it’s 25 miles away from another example of TTUHSC El Paso’s fight to keep the region healthy. The university collaborated with Tenet Healthcare Corporation, a for-profit company based in Dallas, to build a 106-bed teaching hospital. It will provide training for an estimated 75 medical students during a multiyear program, as well as training for the university’s nursing students. Tenet also manages a 110,000-square-foot medical office building, known as Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso at Transmountain, which is directly adjacent to the teaching hospital, 90,000 square feet of which is leased to TTUHSC El Paso. “This affiliation is really because of the expansion and the growth of our medical school here in El Paso,” said Stout. “We are using the hospital and the medical office

building not only to provide care for our community, but also to teach for our medical students, our nursing students and our graduate students.” Within a couple years, TTUHSC El Paso will add dental students to that list. Currently, the city only has 20 dentists per 100,000 residents compared to the state average of 36. To raise that number, the Hunt Family Foundation gifted the university $25 million to launch the Woody L. Hunt School of Dental Medicine. Not only will it host 200 students each year, it will be the first dental school to open in Texas in nearly 50 years. Stout estimates the dental building will be roughly 175,000 square feet. He adds that another 200,000-square foot clinical building is likely in the works as well, due to the school’s rapidly growing volume. “Those are two things that we see that are in our strategic plan for the future,” he says. The university hasn’t yet put out RFPs for those projects, but Stout says they will be coming out soon as TTUHSC El Paso strives to put the city on the map when it comes to healthcare. “We see an extremely bright future for our community, our students and also our ability to deliver high-quality healthcare to our community,” says Stout.

A Two-Generation Park: How a father and son helped create a unique development opportunity BY BRANDI SMITH

“We view ourselves as an in-fill location. There's “Before he got sick, he stopped in Dubai for a few It takes someone with an already development on all sides of us,” says Ryan. days. He came back and told me, ‘Son, you need incredible imagination and “Our challenge is to construct the economic center to make Generation Park more like Dubai,’” Ryan for this quadrant of Houston, which it needs.” remembers. drive to look at a chunk of property and see its potential, “... a vision ...” “... unprecedented opportunity ...” which is exactly what Frederick To understand the success of Generation Park, one At the time, the development was already on its way “Rick” McCord did when he must first learn about the man who envisioned it in to success. The company had just signed TechnipFMC, which now has a 173-acre campus on site. first saw the area of Northeast the first place. “He was a very good man,” Ryan describes his father. “We really knew what we wanted to do. We became Harris County in 1985, now “He was a wonderful father and a great business person very adept at articulating it and illustrating it developed as Summerwood. who really challenged the people around him.” through videos, renderings and other media,” Ryan “There were no roads, no infrastructure at all,” explains Ryan McCord, Rick’s son. “But he knew this property was in such close proximity to downtown Houston, Bush Intercontinental Airport and the ship channel ‑ what we call economic pillars of the city.” The elder McCord made his first land purchase in the area that year. Decades of acquisitions have resulted in McCord Development owning over 4,000 acres, by far the most contiguous property on Beltway 8. “It's more than a quarter of the size of Manhattan,” Ryan says. “We understand that we are the second largest landowner in Harris County, which is the third most populous county in North America.” That property is now managed as Generation Park, a sprawling master-planned commercial development offering office, retail, industrial and residential development opportunities.

Rick McCord founded McCord Development in 1973, developing or acquiring roughly $2 billion in Houston real estate over the next 40 years. The Shreveport, La., native passed away in 2015, leaving quite the legacy in what is now the country’s fourthlargest city. “The number one thing that you have to have is a vision for it. It's a vision that's rooted in reality in terms of what's feasible, but it's not constrained by what's been done,” says Ryan, explaining his father’s successes. “You have to have the ability to articulate it and be able to catch the ear of the people who need to hear it.” When Rick passed, Ryan took over the helm at McCord Development, vowing to continue the work his father started.

says. “By the grace of the good Lord, we had the opportunity to speak to folks at FMC Technologies with whom this vision resonated.” Other tenants include San Jacinto College, Apache Industrial Services, Lone Star College and StoltNielsen.

The sheer scope of Generation Park’s size sets it apart from many developments in Houston, but Ryan says his team had the advantage of looking at what came before. “Generation Park is unique because it’s brand new,” he says. “Most other large-scale developments were started 30 years ago. There are very few on this scale being kicked off today.” The development’s location is also a factor in its success. Nestled in what may just be the fastestgrowing part of the Houston area, Generation Park tenants can take advantage of all the Lake Houston community has to offer. “It’s truly an unprecedented opportunity,” says Ryan of the potential within Generation Park. He says his company’s priority has been reflecting on what has been done previously and studying why people love Houston, then translating that into the development. “People here enjoy the city’s authenticity and, in some ways, the eclectic nature of our architecture, design, eateries and restaurants,” Ryan says. “It’s a

challenge to do it in a master-planned environment. We’re very focused on preventing it from getting sterile, which is taking more risk. We’re working with local operators rather than big national chains, but we think there’s a reward to that.”

“... we’re willing to spend ...” Ryan notes that Houston residents also love the city’s bikeability, something McCord is incorporating into Generation Park as well. He says the plans include functional and safe paths between the different commercial nodes and parks that lie within the development. The company is also trying to be energy and resourceconscious. A considerable amount, Ryan says, is being spent to bury power lines. McCord is also building a full non-potable irrigation water system, which will carry what’s considered “gray water.” Gray water can include the use of stormwater runoff as well as treated wastewater from shower drains, bathtubs, sinks, etc., which can be reused for irrigation. “We get a lot of rain here, but periodically we have drought and it makes no sense to be using potable

Ryan and his father, Frederick "Rick" McCord water for irrigation,” Ryan explains. “We’re willing to spend what we need to figure that out.” The underground power supply and recycled water could help Generation Park tenants stay functional in the case of a potential hurricane, something Ryan says his company has considered at length. “We’re trying to learn from all the great developers who have come before us and who are still with us today in the city,” he says. “I can say that we've called on all of them and they've all helped us.”

“ ... we can offer flexibility ...” The result is a property where tenants are clamoring to get in. In fact, Ryan points out, none of the completed space is unleased. “We have one floor of office space in a building that's currently under construction that is available. We’re Generation Park negotiating leases on all of our retail spaces, which are currently under construction. We also have a number of retail operators for whom we're discussing constructing buildings,” he says. Though building space is spoken for, there is still property available, especially for companies who need a big footprint.

“We can offer flexibility for future growth because we own the property next door, which is very unique. It turns out to be of quite a bit of value to companies; they're not sure what their requirements are going to be maybe in five years,” Ryan says. McCord is in the process of putting up a new office building, as well as an office/warehouse mix and a parking garage. Construction on the luxury apartments 255 Assay St. is expected to begin this summer in the 52-acre lifestyle district called Redemption Square. “We decided to add residential because of our viewpoint on people and how we're all kind of innately wired. It comes from the idea that folks generally like to be in an area that is energetic,” says Ryan, explaining the choice to build a residential element in what is largely a commercial development. “You have the opportunity to see other people going about their day.” Located in the middle of Generation Park, Redemption Square is anticipated to serve as the heart of the development: pumping people and energy to the surrounding businesses. Ryan estimates it will take another 20 years for the buildout of Generation Park to be complete, a process he’s looking forward to cultivating. “While we have strong ideals and a strong vision for Generation Park, we're very pragmatic and we're very intentional about making deals,” he says. “We're blowing and going and we have a tremendous amount of opportunity. This is an extremely successful place for companies to locate.” June 2017

Multifamily - Living Elevated Live | Work | Play

Ric Campo, Chairman of the Board & CEO of Camden Development

BY MICHAEL PAVIA

A symposium entitled “Multifamily - Living Elevated”, organized by The University of Houston C.T. Bauer College of Business’ Real Estate Program was held April 20, at the Westin Galleria. After welcoming and introductory remarks by Latha Ramchand, Dean at the C.T. Bauer College of Business, and Keith A. Richards Executive Director, Real Estate Program, Ric Campo, Chairman of the Board & CEO of Camden Development, took the stage. Camden employs over thirty UH Real Estate Program graduates. Ric commented that “Houston’s real estate prices have gone down, but for the long term that is good. An amazing group of people are renting apartments at low prices. When the supply is taken up by demand prices will rise.” The remainder of the symposium was devoted to a presentation by three UH MBA students, Rico Buot, Brook Eben, and Junious Williams. They discussed

the results of their study of the multifamily living market focusing on Consumer Preferences and Trends, and the Importance of Amenities. Their results are summarized below. The symposium ended with three case studies of properties that best illustrate the trends in multifamily living: One Lakes Edge presented by Jim Carman, Vice President, MPC Commercial Development for The Howard Hughes Corporation; Market Square Tower, discussed by Philip Schneidau, President, Woodbranch Investments Corp; and Vantage Medical Center, presented by Brad Dinerstein, President, The Dinerstein Companies

Consumer Preferences and Trends: • There is an increasing desire to live near employment and amenities which support an integrated ‘Live, Work, Play’ lifestyle.

• The multifamily market is being driven by two major demographic groups: (1) Millennials, who are socially active, reliant on technology, and stay mobile and (2) Empty Nesters, who are downsizing and looking for a more active lifestyle. Both groups are less reliant on a personal car. • The cost and responsibilities associated with home ownership has increased the attraction of renting for both groups. • This shared trend is shaping the direction of innovation in multifamily development. Both demographics require developers to offer competitive amenities with easy access.

The Importance of Amenities: • Amenities attract tenants and act as a differentiator. With the rising cost of housing and the desire to improve life balance, consumers are demanding

more in return for their rent payments. Although nothing can compare to the benefits of a well-located property, well designed amenities that meet the needs of the targeted demographic can play a huge role in attracting and maintaining tenants. • Technology: Smart home features, electronic door locks, social engagement, and tenant management

Conclusions: • The long-term outlook for multifamily elevated market is strong. • Developers who adapt quickly to fill the needs and desires of the upcoming and existing generations are sure to see success in Houston.

• Within Houston’s various employment centers, achieving an environment that embodies “Live, Work. Play’ will continue to be the goal for developers.

• Transportation: Access to public transportation, shuttle services, E-vehicle stations, bike storage and repair • Package Handling: With the increasing growth of online shopping it is important to leverage technology to find creative solutions to address package delivery concerns including designated delivery parking, ability to accept groceries, and package storage • Apartment Services: Security is very important to residents.

Adjusting to adjusters:

What you need to know about insurance claims

BY BRANDI SMITH

We decided to become a the damage was more than just what was public adjuster, he had a knew visible to the naked eye. We took what was just a claim and maximized it,” says Berlanga, who’s career as a certified public simple currently studying to get his license. “We didn’t to leave any money on the table. Thanks to our accountant and commercial want public adjuster, we didn’t.” real estate broker. In those As it happened, Texas Elite Public Adjusters had in a building Berlanga managed, resulting in a roles, he managed leasing offices year-long relationship. in a building in San Antonio, What is a public adjuster? which caught fire a couple In the simplest of terms, a public adjuster is an independent licensed professional who doesn’t work of years ago. for an insurance company and can help anyone with their insurance claims. Besides attorneys, they are the only advocates who can legally represent you during an insurance claim process.

“Do you pay the asking price for your house? No. Do you pay the sticker price for a car at the dealership? No. But most people accept the estimate from their insurance adjuster as the final word,” says Randy Crow of Texas Elite. “We find people funds that were owed to them that they weren't aware of based on the policy they signed and the extent of the damage to their property.” He says, just like most other business dealings, an insurance company’s offer is considered the jumping-off point for negotiations. “We push all of them hard because that's our job,” Crow says. “We're only loyal to the client, to the homeowner or the business owner.” “We go the extra mile. We don't just say something’s damaged; we prove that it's damaged,” says Elvia Chandler, president of Texas Elite. “In addition to our construction background, we also understand policy language.

What makes Texas Elite special? Chandler got her independent public adjuster (PA) license in 2008, but has decades of experience to lean on. “I’ve been in construction since the early ‘80s,” she says, adding that she even owned her own women-only construction company. “In 2001, I started doing more storm work, such as roofing.” Chandler calls becoming an adjuster a “natural progression” since she already knew what it takes to construct a building, as well as a roof. “I decided to get my PA license to help people,” she said. Crow’s story is remarkably similar; his career included firefighting, roofing and installing drywall. So, at 53, he decided to pursue his license.

June 2017

“I realized that I had a career that I didn't even know was available. I'm still working with fires and I'm still working with roofs,” he explains. “That knowledge makes Elvia and me very good at arguing with an insurance adjuster who generally doesn’t have nearly the background that we do.”

How do adjusters work for you? Texas Elite’s team says a very common approach for insurance companies is to tell clients to get bids for repairs. Though that might seem reasonable, Crow says it’s nearly guaranteed to cost the client. “Our advice is that you find the one contractor who you know does a good job. That’s the only contractor you need to work with. You don’t need to waste anyone else’s time by making three guys come out and sell you three different jobs.” Public adjusters can also advocate on a property owner’s behalf when it comes to certain kinds of roofing. Crow says insurance companies often deny damage claims related to modified bitumen and gravel-and-tar roofing systems. “They turn those down every single time and they say they were told by their bosses that those roofs are very hard to damage,” says Crow. “We bring to bear the science to prove that roofs

of that nature are actually damaged and owed for. That can be the difference between $0 on a claim and a claim of $500,000.” Many times, property owners assume the only option to refute a claim is to sue the insurance company. Public adjusters offer an alternative. “It seems as if we've been cultured into thinking that if we contest the argument with the insurance company or the proposal from the insurance company, we commit some kind of mortal sin. We’re just asking the insurance company to meet its obligation,” Berlanga says. “They serve a purpose that's far short of litigation and yet represents an optimal opportunity for these building owners.” Crow adds that PAs may help in the case of multiple properties being damaged, such as in flooding, hurricanes or tornadoes. The average commercial property manager who handles two to three insurance claims in a typical year can easily be buried by dozens of claims for different properties. “We step in and relieve management of that process,” Crow says. “We get a lot of work from commercial managers who may not have needed us before, but they need us after a major event because they have 40 claims.”

“ We’re just asking the insurance company to meet its obligation” - Michael Berlanga The key to an optimal settlement, says Berlanga, is patience. “If there's a downside to using a public adjuster, it's the claimant who is impatient because they're being pressured by roofers to hurry and settle, so the roofer can hurry up and settle,” he explains. “I think that's what separates professionals from those who just sort of sell commodity.” You can learn more about Texas Elite Public Adjusters by visiting the company’s website: texaselitepublicadjusters.com.

North Texas CCIM Chapter

ray’s buzz BY RAY HANKAMER rhankamer@gmail.com

CCIM Luncheon May 11, 2017

Speakers: Frank and Kirby Liu of POST HOUSTON; Jim Murnane of Imperial Market ‑ Sugar Land

POST HOUSTON: Frank Liu and his son Kirby made a fascinating presentation of their plans to re-concept the old downtown Houston Central Post Office, located walking distance from the theatre district, and between I-10 and Buffalo Bayou. To be implemented in several phases, this ambitious project will become a hub binding together several Houston neighborhoods and centers of activity, including the CBD, the theatre district, Buffalo Bayou Park, and the Washington Corridor, to name a few. Instead of the University Line, the first east west METRO connection may well continue west from in front of POST HOUSTON out to the NW Transit center, connecting to the proposed high speed rail line to Dallas. This connection would link Uptown’s Bus Rapid Transit now under construction to Houston’s existing light rail network.

30,000 SF of basement space for assembly and testing and sales of finished products. Also to be included will be the world’s largest rooftop garden.

Citing that Houston is the # 4 luxury shopping city in the U.S., POST HOUSTON will have a significant retail component. It will boast 1300 parking spaces on grade, making it easy to park and access POST HOUSTON and Buffalo Bayou Park through a to-be-built pedestrian / bicycle tunnel.

A Houston version of Rome’s Spanish Steps – a world meeting place – will be included in POST HOUSTON, as will be a theatre facility tuned to younger audiences. Although our theatre district sports the second largest number of seats after Broadway, the current offerings by our theatres, with their more classical fare- are having trouble attracting Millenials.

The Lius (Lovett Homes) have engaged OMA Architecture, which has a reputation for striking projects which transform cities. The Liu family sees a need to bring back to Houston the world recognition and focus it enjoyed during and following NASA’s moon landing.

A skybridge and elevator will allow Buffalo Bayou Park users to mount to the rooftop garden. Also included will be a mammoth food court, offering foods from a wide variety of cultures, all under one roof.

Today we have the second largest concentration of engineers in the U.S. after Silicon Valley, and this has gone unrecognized. So this grand project will include live-work units with high ceilings, and tenants in this “incubator” setting will have access to

The huge vacant facility has already hosted the AIA Gala, and, as part of the Super Bowl festivities, a crowd of 20,000, which attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Party.

IMPERIAL MARKET: The iconic Imperial Sugar Refinery on Hwy 90 in Sugar Land (get the connection?) has been purchased by former banker Jim Murnane and his partner, Geoffrey Jones, who developed Houston’s House of Blues. The two developers will reconcept the refinery and surrounding buildings into a large mixed-use facility, which will include an Alamo Cinema, a Childrens’ Museum, a multi-family development by Sueba, a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel, a farmers’ market, retail shops, and above all, walkability in a historic setting. 42

June 2017

New construction will be intermixed with the existing historic buildings, but the new buildings will blend in with the existing buildings, which date back to the 1920s. The development will be a glittering addition to a community which already sports Constellation field, numerous major corporations, and the second largest concentration of medical facilities outside of the Texas Medical Center. (The Imperial Market is adjacent to the existing rail line which has been mentioned as a future commuter rail from Ft. Bend County into Houston)
