A note from

MARILYN Our Dear Readers, As we approach the end of 2017, the events of the last few months are heavy on my mind. The devastation and trauma of Hurricane Harvey are still in the hearts of all Houstonians. Through this disaster, all barriers were surpassed as we watched heroic acts of epic proportion take place. Neighbors were helping neighbors, strangers were no longer strangers, as our city put the world on notice that Houston could not be shaken by mountains of floodwaters. Houston Strong resonates through every walk of life. While rebuilding homes and communities, our very own Houston Astros worked their way through the Red Sox, the Yankees and finally the Dodgers in many epic, nail-biting games. The victorious season of our tremendous Astros team was the glimmer of hope that transformed into a shining star for everyone that called Houston home. Each player seemed to embrace the desire for victory in a supernatural way knowing that a World Series would encourage and uplift the city in a way that only bringing home the prize of all prizes could do! In this PROPERTIES Magazine, we offer articles that expand on a trio of different entities relating to transportation. Fentress Bracewell, former chairman of the Port of Houston Authority Commission, renders a fascinating elaboration of the history of The Port of Houston. You will be enriched by learning the Port’s significance regarding Houston’s success in sustaining its presence as a thriving city. It is peppered with astonishing statistics that substantiate its worth as being key in the continued growth of our city. The piece covering Houston’s Metro states that the greater metropolitan area is home to more than 6.3 million people spread out across a region as big as the entire state of New Jersey. It addresses the future of our public transit system offering intriguing solutions to mobilizing people from urban to suburban. In 2015 the entire bus network was reimagined. Those efforts received national attention and national accolades and METRO won the 2015 Outstanding Public Transportation System Achievement Award for the American Public Transportation Association. Edward Nawotka captures the magnificence of Houston’s airports. He reports that Bush Airport was ranked No.3 among the most improved airports in the world and Hobby Airport ranked as a four-star airport by Skytrax, one of only three in the U.S. Bill Begley, Public Information Officer for the Houston Airport System, stated that “Houston’s two airports are an economic engine for the city.” It’s fantastic reading as we are informed about the millions that have been spent and the building of a Terminal D which will cost approximately $1.5 billion. One of the largest collections of public art is available for anyone looking for a productive way to pass time. PROPERTIES opens the door for you to relax and relish in the extraordinary real estate that is available today. It seems our inventory becomes increasingly more beautiful and interesting with each issue. I would welcome the opportunity to visit with you personally should you have any questions or thoughts pertaining to the Houston real estate market.

Houston is huge. Though the city feels intimate when you’re walking at Hermann Park or enjoying a glass of wine on a patio, the greater metropolitan area is home to more than 6.3 million people. And we’re not packed in, but spread out across a region as big as the entire state of New Jersey. It can be overwhelming to think about how we get around here. Most of us drive our own cars, but some of us park and ride at regional transit centers. Some of us hail an Uber, or take the train, or pedal a bicycle — and some of us do a little of everything. In a city with at least seven employment centers and a hundred neighborhoods — some urban, some suburban — no one has a typical commute. “In the Houston of today,” writes James Llames, “people are traveling from everywhere to everywhere.” “Houston is unique,” says Carrin Patman, the chair of the board of directors for METRO, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Houston and Harris County. So how can a public transit system serve this huge, unique city? “One of the challenges facing METRO,” asks Houston Public Media transportation reporter Gail Delaughter, “is how do you become a truly regional transit entity and create partnerships and move people in from different places?” Since 2009, METRO has been hard at work toward that goal. That year, construction started on an 5.3-mile extension of the Red Line light rail, which first opened in 2004. Today, the Red Line is 13 miles long and considered one of the most successful of its kind in the country in terms of ridership per mile. In 2011, the Green and Purple lines were added.

Houston Houston is is expected expected to to surpass surpass Chicago Chicago as as the the third-largest third-largest city city in in the the country. country. By By 2040, 2040, Houston’s Houston’s population population could could double double to to almost almost 11 11 million million people. people.


Then, in 2015, the entire bus network was reimagined. Every route was evaluated and many redrawn, leading to 22 new highfrequency routes that run every 10 minutes, seven days a week. These efforts have received national attention and national accolades, too, as METRO won the 2015 Outstanding Public Transportation System Achievement Award from the American Public Transportation Association. Delaughter says that METRO has seen a 7.4 percent increase in overall ridership. So it’s working. But Houston is growing — and growing fast. By 2025, Patman says, “Houston is expected to surpass Chicago as the third-largest city in the country. By 2040, Houston’s population could double to almost 11 million people.” So what’s next? “METRO”, Patman says, “is undertaking an ambitious, long-term planning process toward the development of a regional transit plan.” “One of the first steps has been a robust community involvement process,” she says. Already, METRO has held 25 public meetings and developed a website for public comment. “We’re in the information-gathering stage,” she said. “Soon,” she says, “planners will ‘put pen to paper’ and begin to translate this information into action. Patman says, “everything is on the table; METRO is considering new light rail lines, bus rapid transit, commuter rail, as well as new technologies, like apps.” Besides these big ideas, METRO is also looking at smaller fixes, too, exploring what’s known as “first-mile, last-mile” connectivity, seeking to make it easier and safer for people to get to and from a bus stop or light rail station and their home or office. All the while, METRO is working to make sure the entire system is accessible for all. “What makes sense today?” she asks. “We have our own transit system that meets Houston’s need, and we must expand that system to meet the needs of the future, to attract business and people, to keep our economy thriving.” What’s most important is that transit continues to be a real transportation option for Houstonians. It’s no secret that young people want to rely on transit to get around. “You want to live in a community with an excellent transit system,” Patman says. “It’s necessary to a growing, vibrant community.”

The maintenance crew that takes care of everything outside our home is diligent and professional. The ground are immaculate. The pool is an added bonus and is never overcrowded, though it is used . Houston has experienced several

floods over the last two years. We have never come close to experiencing high water anywhere near our neighborhood.” Another resident reports that his experience has also been exceptional. The knowledgeable 24 hour guards and the abundant green space for walking dogs are some of the best amenities. Caceres is also close to many of Houston’s hot spots. Upscale shops and outdoor recreation abound as River Oaks Shopping Center and Memorial Park are less than two miles away. Outside the gates, fabulous restaurants and entertainment venues are plentiful along Memorial Drive and Washington Avenue. It only takes 16 minutes to get to the renowned Texas Medical Center and Downtown and the Galleria are approximately 12 miles away. Currently homes range in price from the $500,000s to $1,500,000. Simply stated, Caceres offers exceptional upscale living in the heart of Houston. Welcome to one of Houston’s best kept secrets. 118 Calle Catalina Place

HOUSTON’S

AIRPORTS Highlight Hometown Pride By: Edward Nawotka


I

t’s a Sunday morning in October at IAH — the code which stands as shorthand for Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport — and there’s no mistaking where you are. A TV over the bar at Cadillac Mexican Kitchen is tuned into morning services at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church; weekend travelers stroll by in bright orange and blue and red and white jerseys, showing their allegiance to the Astros and the Texans; turn a corner and you can order up a serving of The Breakfast Klub’s famous chicken and waffles, a favorite of H-town heroine Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z. It’s Houston, baby, and there’s no mistaking it for anywhere else.

This hometown hit parade is the consequence of an effort by the Houston Airport System to provide an authentic Houston experience for those passing through the city, even if it is just for a few hours, even if they never leave the airport. Last year a total of 41.6 million people flew through IAH and a further 12.9 million flew through Hobby Airport. But the millions of dollars that have been spent to upgrade and improve facilities ultimately dwarf those numbers, as dramatic as they are. At Hobby, for example, some $250 million has been spent to expand capacity to accommodate international flights. Beginning in 2015, this included spending $156 million to expand the terminal by 280,000 square feet, and a further $55 million was implemented to add a new one million-square-foot parking facility — an addition most car-dependent Houstonians will surely appreciate. At Intercontinental, United spent $277 million to expand

Terminal C, adding more than 100,000 square feet and bringing it to a total of 265,000 square feet. The airport is also building a new Terminal D, which will be called the Mickey Leland International Terminal, and will cost some $1.5 billion. Overall, the money spent on the airports will amount to more than $4 billion over the next decade. “Houston’s two airports are an economic engine for the city,” Bill Begley, Public Information Officer for the Houston Airport System said. “The idea was to constantly improve the experience of being at the airport, whether that is making [it] more comfortable and lavish, like Terminal C at IAH or more convenient to park, like at Hobby.” Begley is keen to point to less obvious or dramatic improvements, such as the fast and free WiFi now available at the airports or the comprehensive and sleek Fly2Houston.com website. These types of improvements may not be as flashy as the opening of a Hard Rock Cafe at IAH earlier this year, only the second one at an airport in the U.S., but they are essential to keeping passengers happy and the business humming.


HOUSTON’S

two airports are an economic engine for the city.

And humming it is. Our city has long been the U.S. gateway to Latin America and still has more flights to Mexico than any city stateside. IAH recently added a new flight to Sydney, Australia and is looking to add daily flights to Havana, Cuba in addition to its current weekly offering. Hobby Airport is Houston’s link to the continental United States, with Southwest, JetBlue and other airlines connecting us to even the smallest hubs.


In all, the series of improvements is getting noticed by those who matter; Bush Airport was ranked No. 3 among the most improved airports in the world and the No. 9 airport in the world for dining according to an annual survey conducted by Skytrax, which is recognized as a leading global air transport rating organization. Hobby too has won accolades and is ranked as a “Four Star Airport” by Skytrax, one of only three in the United States. But let’s be honest, what really matters to passengers is easy parking, quick security lines, and some tasty food, cold drinks

and interesting places to shop and pass the time. Fortunately, for those finding IAH or HOU on their boarding card, they will have no shortage of attractive, interesting and authentic options — be it swirling a rare Bordeaux at Tony’s Wine Cellar & Bistro; choosing ingredients for a hand-tossed pie from Pink’s Pizza; browsing the small batch soy candles and hand-made leather goods from Manready Mercantile; or biting into a juicy burger from Hubcap Grill (voted the fourth best sit-down airport dining experience in the country by USA Today). And if you just want to walk and stretch your legs, you can enjoy one of the largest collections of

public art in Texas or pass the time doing what hundreds of millions of passengers have done before you: stare out the picture windows trying to guess where those big jumbo jets launching into the air will land. “Overall, there have been more than 120 new restaurants, stores and experiences that have opened at Houston’s airports in the last year,” Begley said. “There’s a real authentic Houston experience waiting for anyone traveling through, and we hope they will take a little bit of that good feeling with them wherever they go.”

SHIP CHANNEL By: John Lomax

• • • • • •

1.2 million jobs throughout Texas $265 billion in economic impact $5 billion in state and local tax revenue Ranked first among American ports in foreign tonnage Third in total foreign cargo value Sixth ranked American container port


“Houston is truly the town that built a port that built a city.” So said Fentress Bracewell, former chairman of the Port of Houston Authority Commission, and truer words have seldom been spoken. Just before the Houston Ship Channel officially opened in 1914, the Bayou City’s population stood at a shade under 80,000. With some 2.1 million inhabitants today, Houston has grown 26-fold since then, and while you can’t credit the channel for all of that growth, it is indisputably the single most important factor. Without the ship channel, we’d likely be Beaumont or Tyler. With it, we are a megapolis.

But there was a problem -- in the earliest days of the city, that whole “head of navigation” bit was another of Houston founders the Allen Brothers’ bald-faced stretchers. “Tide water runs to this place and the lowest depth of water is about six feet,” they promised in early newspaper ads touting their nonexistent city. “Vessels from New Orleans or New York can sail without obstacle to this place, and steamboats of the largest class can run down to Galveston Island in 8 or 10 hours, in all seasons of the year.”

Texas is America’s top exporting state and the Port of Houston is far and away it’s dominant entrepôt. And to think, it all started with a muddy ditch and some Texas-sized dreams. The Port of Houston once teemed at Allen’s Landing, where White Oak Bayou spills into Buffalo Bayou. That confluence of waterways made that site the head of navigation for hundreds of square miles of lush Brazos, San Jacinto and Trinity river farmlands. During Houston’s decade in the Republic of Texas and in the pre-Civil War era, Allen’s Landing was a thriving transshipment point. Wagonload after wagonload of cotton, rice and sugar, and other raw materials were trundled onto barges and steamboats that had just offloaded clothing, furniture, tools, and fine wines and rotgut whiskey for early Houston’s many saloons.

Well, not exactly. Yes, you could get some boats to Allen’s Landing but the trip was molasses slow and back-breakingly difficult, with fallen trees creating dangerous snags that required whole crews to remove. When the steamship Laura became the first such craft to chug up the bayou to Houston, so choked was the waterway with overhanging branches and fallen trees, the 12-mile trip upstream from Harrisburg took three

whole days, or an average speed of .16 mph. Hauling those logs out of the bayou was the very first phase in the long process whereby a mere stream would be converted into one of the world’s mightiest ports. That process got underway in 1840, perhaps the bleakest year in Houston’s history. The city had been ravaged by a yellow fever epidemic. Texas president Mirabeau Lamar had stolen the capital away to Austin, and no fewer than three ships had either sunk or become disabled in Buffalo Bayou downstream from Houston, blocking access to Galveston and the sea. The cities of Harrisburg and Galveston -- both blessed with far easier access to the Gulf -- were booming while Houston was down for the count, and for a time, there was a very real chance that Houston was fated to wither away, to become one more of the hundreds of boomtowns turned ghost that litter maps of early Texas. And if not for the perseverance of city leaders of the time, that’s exactly what would have happened. Instead, early Houstonians banded together, formed a chamber of commerce, and went to work clearing the treacherous bayou of snags and shipwrecks. Within a year, the fledgling town founded the Houston Port Authority. Commerce was humming on the docks at the foot of Main Street once again, and by 1845, when Texas joined the Union, there was no more doomsday talk of withering away as a ghost town -- Houston was Texas’ third city, trailing only Galveston and San Antonio, and the gateway to the Lone Star State’s agricultural heartland.


Well, not quite. For the rest of the 19th Century, Houston remained a midpoint. Much to the frustration of local merchants, goods shipped from Houston still had to be offloaded in Galveston from river vessels aboard ocean-worthy ships. Islander middlemen took exorbitant cuts, enriching Galveston at Houston’s expense. Meanwhile, by 1890, wagon trains had given way to railways and while Houstonians kept pace -- city leaders would one day tout it as the city “Where 17 Railroads Met the Sea” -- Galvestonians did likewise, funneling all those trains down a single spur line to their port. Houston was in danger of being bypassed by the railroad, a fate that had doomed many once promising cities. Nature intervened with a ferocity never seen on these shores before or since. The 1900 Great Hurricane leveled Galveston and claimed the lives of 6000-8000 people. Suddenly the once-crazy idea that Houstonians, cognizant of the utter destruction of the oncepromising south Texas port city of Indianola, had long been pitching to politicians in Washington DC. Gulf coastal cities on barrier islands all lived on borrowed time, and any Texas port needed to be well inland -- yes, even 50 miles from the open ocean. America needed a port on the upper Texas coast, and the Great Storm had revealed Galveston as too risky a bet, so Houston it would be. And the following year, as if to emphasize the point, the Spindletop oil field blew in just outside of Beaumont, with other gushers erupting all over Southeast Texas. With the internal combustion engine roaring to life and with mass production

just around the corner, demand for black gold was soaring from coast to coast, and that fuel had limited means of transport. A deep-sea port in the middle of that oilfield was even more a necessity than a shipment point for cotton, sugar, rice, and Midwestern corn and grain. Now that the bayou was clear of logs and wrecks, the task was turned to widening and deepening the waterway. Though efforts to deepen the bayou to the 25 feet necessary for oceangoing vessels had been ongoing in fits and starts since the 1860s, the modern Houston Ship Channel

began to take shape in 1896. Just before resigning from his office in the US House of Representatives, Joseph C. Hutcheson quietly ushered a bill through Congress requesting an Army Corps of Engineers survey to determine the plausibility of deepening the bayou to the long-elusive 25 feet. Hutcheson arranged for a delegation to visit, by which time he had passed his seat to Thomas Ball of Huntsville, the man for whom the city of Tomball would one day be named. For once, a flood proved beneficial to Houston: When the delegation from DC’s Rivers and Harbors Committee arrived in

Houston in 1897, heavy rains had swollen the bayou to a most impressive height and power, making the project seem easier than it would prove to be. They gave the project a thumbs-up, but that was useless without money. Congressman Ball set about rustling up funding, with little success at first, as Texas was then a Democratic state and DC was then under Republican control. Then along came that hurricane, and in the very same 1902 bill that funded the reconstruction of Galveston, President Teddy Roosevelt approved one million dollars for Houston’s port project. At first, progress waxed and waned along with the supply of federal money. By 1908, the bayou had been dredged to 18.5 feet, an impressive feat to be sure, but still far short of the goal. With an ingenuity born of frustration, Tom Ball and Houston mayor H. Baldwin Rice conjured up what was then an innovative financing plan: the county would form a local navigation district sell, bonds and oversee the channel, and sell bonds whose proceeds would match federal cash dollar-for-dollar. In 1910, the city’s $1.5 million bond issue set the wheels in motion on the Ship Channel’s final phase of construction. And on November 10, 1914, it opened with a bang -- literally. At his desk in the Oval Office 1,400 miles away, President Woodrow Wilson pressed an ivory button that electronically detonated the charge in a cannon at the side of Houston’s brand new oceangoing harbor, and it was off to the races after that.


The Ship Channel boom came at no small cost to Houston. The lovely savannah-like terrain that once undulated down to the waterway and the alligatorridden, waterfowl-swarming jungle-like riverine forests along its banks were soon mercilessly consumed by the very first oil refineries that would blaze the trail for the Houston Ship Channel’s current status as the world’s second-largest petrochemical complex. The soft and sultry days of pleasure cruises to and from Galveston -- a little of Mark Twain’s steamboat mystique, complete with dining, dancing, and latenight poker -- became a thing of the past, those floating pleasure palaces replaced with chugging little tugs and enormous supertankers. And though it is no longer as toxic as it once was, the Houston Ship Channel remains far too polluted to enjoy recreationally the way our ancestors once did. And yet even in its fearsome, flamebelching, fume-spewing monstrosity, there is a sort of awe-inspiring beauty to be found in the sheer applied science of it all: the might of the oceangoing tankers sliding almost silently past and the skill of the pilots who guide them safely in and out of the port, the chemistry in the plants, the industrial engineering in their construction, and the massive feats of civil engineering that made this 50 mile-long waterway possible to begin with. (Check it out yourself aboard the M/V Sam Houston, the Port’s free tour boat.) Yes, the Allen Brothers engaged in more than a little puffery in their salesmanship of this new city, but when they predicted that it would one day become “the great interior commercial emporium of Texas,” they told no lie.

aprada Landing’s rich narrative begins in 1824 when David Randon and Isaac Pennington acquired land from Stephen F. Austin, joining the prominent group of Texas’ first settlers – the Old Three Hundred. Randon further etched his name in the Lone Star State’s history when he advocated for Texas independence following the 1835 battle of Gonzales. Over the years, many notable Texas families have been stewards of the land, and now it is time for new generations of landowners to add their names to this prestigious legacy that will continue with Laprada Landing.
