Fulshear, Texas

In the European tradition, this residence accommodates the living, entertaining, and professional requirements of its residents. Anchored by the enormous, triple-height, marble-and-glass reception hall, the first floor encompasses the elegant formal living and dining salons with space for well more than 200 guests; a professional-grade, eat-in kitchen extensively equipped to service household gatherings or entertainments of any size; a 1,000-plus bottle wine cellar; service and catering areas; staff bedroom suites; and a large office/conference/library/den complex that includes a smaller full kitchen and second, less formal, dining room. Positioned on the second floor, the sumptuous master suite offers the luxuries of space and privacy with a pair of serene bedrooms served by two magnificently-appointed full baths; bespoke dressing areas; lavish, custom-fitted room-sized closets; a gym/fitness center/beauty salon; and two balconies. Additional bedroom suites on this level surround a playroom/study hub and have access to a juice bar/kitchenette. Third-floor luxurious guest suites feature lavish baths, custom-fitted closets and private balconies, and share a living room with a large balcony.

Secluded in one of the scenic bends of the Brazos River, Laprada Landing offers an escape from the rigors of the city. Located 40 miles west of downtown Houston, Laprada Landing feels worlds away with dense stands of mature trees and sweeping vistas overlooking the Brazos.

Additions include an inviting resort-style pool, spa, and fully-equipped entertaining cabana; a separate summer kitchen with a pizza oven and bar; a gazebo with a commercial hibachi grill; extensive protected and open-air outdoor gathering and dining terraces and decks; and exceptional children’s play areas.

Laprada 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. The unspoiled, natural beauty of the tracts offer a pristine piece of the rural Texas countryside without having to sacrifice the amenities of city living. Laprada Landing, located just south of Fulshear, is easily accessible from Westpark Tollway and FM 1093. 3301 Laprada Trace . . MLS 68382374 . . . $1,762,500 3203 Laprada Trace . . MLS 99390928 . . $5,740,000

With compelling design, impeccable quality throughout, and a floor plan tailored for elegant daily living as well as grand events, this modern city-estate offers an old-world, gracious lifestyle in the heart of River Oaks.

A note from

MARILYN Our Dear Readers, As we look to the summer months ahead, I stand amazed at the remarkable success of 2017 thus far. It cannot go unnoticed that the Houston real estate market is thriving and sellers feel extremely confident listing their homes. Our listing inventory is up 15% which is an accurate assessment that homeowners are confident that now is an ideal time to sell their homes. Over the last three years, 2014 has been lauded as the benchmark for the best of times in Houston real estate. It is with great excitement that I report that in the first quarter of 2017, Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty set a record of closed volume in sales. There are many contributing factors to this robust surge of activity. More buyers have come to our great city than we have seen in the last two years and our world-class relocation department has been working diligently to assist them. Keeping a watchful eye on the landscape of real estate in the greater Houston area, we have decided to open a MTSIR office in the Cypress area. It will be located on the Boardwalk with views of the lake afforded by Towne Lake, a fabulous master planned community. This dynamic area is resplendent with fruitful ground for our services. We are thrilled to be adding a sixth location to our repertoire of offices. In this issue of PROPERTIES, you will find a fascinating chronology of how significant changes in the Downtown area have affected Houstonians. Houston’s first skywalk was built in 1963 linking the Whitehall Hotel and the Cullen Center’s multi-building complex. From 1971 onwards, the skywalk network was expanded to connect additional buildings around Downtown, including Allen Center and Houston Center. Today more than 50 of downtown Houston’s city blocks are connected by skywalks. An additional article expands on the seven-mile pedestrian tunnel that is one of Houston’s best kept secrets. The piece illuminates how tremendous it is that Houstonians are given the option of choosing to employ the conveniences that the tunnels offer or to enjoy the beautiful landscaped sidewalks, chef-driven eateries, and trendy bars on the streets of glorious downtown Houston. Once again, this edition of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty PROPERTIES magazine has featured some spectacular homes for your viewing. Every imaginable style is included which makes for fascinating reading. Please call us if we can be of assistance in any way. It would a pleasure to visit with you personally.

Marilyn Thompson President, Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty

Houston’s secret city by David Kaplan

26 PROPERTIES | VOLUME 2 – 2017 Photos by Spike Johnson


A visitor could easily spend a day in downtown Houston and not realize there is a seven mile pedestrian tunnel below. There are hardly any signs at street level directing a person there. While on a tour of downtown, Kingwood resident Truett Von Drake was startled when entering the tunnel for the first time.

Of course, the tunnel still comes in handy for downtown’s 150,000 workers when a thunderstorm or heat wave hits, and many make a trip underground a daily routine. However, a vast number of Houstonians who do not work downtown have no idea it exists.

“It’s like a city underground!,” she exclaimed.

“It’s one of Houston’s best kept secrets,” said writer and local historian Sandra Lord.

The tunnel under the 919 Milam building is a particularly lively scene around noon, as downtown workers move briskly in four directions — either to and from lunch or the office. On a bad weather day it is mobbed.

“I love the tunnel — I hated it at first,” she said. “I’d walk in the rain with an umbrella before I’d go down there.” When Lord first began exploring it in the late 1980s, the downtown tunnel system was poorly lit and much smaller, she said.

Remarkably, downtown Houston’s one-of-akind, mostly privatelyowned tunnel system was unplanned. It expanded organically. One building owner dug a tunnel after realizing it could provide his building with more leasable space and serve his tenants’ needs, then other building operators followed suit.

“It’s one of Houston’s best kept secrets...”

The tunnel has had an ever-changing relationship with above ground downtown life. Decades ago, many downtown storefronts were boarded up. Even Main Street was a place where the down-and-out gathered, while the tunnel was perceived as the safer, more upscale way for professionals to get to and from their cars and a grab a bite. Today, the streets of downtown tell a different story. They bloom with landscaped sidewalks, chef-driven eateries, trendy bars, a movie house and more. Attractions like Discovery Green park, House of Blues and the Aquarium entertainment venue have helped make downtown Houston a major destination and city showcase.

A Pittsburgh native, Lord became intrigued by the tunnel and began researching it — meticulously, one might say. For example, she would measure the distance from one tunnel intersection to the next, so people who walked for exercise would know their distance traveled. After founding Discover Houston Tours she gave tunnel and other local tours for 30 years until

recently retiring. Lord, nicknamed “the Tunnel Lady,” has seen the downtown tunnel go from a “dark, disconnected place nobody knew about,” to a “bright shiny, fancyin-places” and much larger system that became “absolutely essential to downtown’s financial success.” Many of downtown leaders guiding the above ground transformation have mixed feelings about the tunnel. “As planners, we have a love/hate relationship with the downtown tunnels,” said Bob Eury, president of the downtown revitalization group Central Houston.

MARTHATURNER.COM

“While they are an important amenity, primarily due to the office community, and to some extent the Theater District, they are still considered a hindrance to the life and vitality wanted and needed at street level,” he said. “The good news is that we’re seeing more and more street level activity due to downtown’s current boom in the hospitality and residential markets, coupled with the dozens of restaurants having opened in the past couple of years,” Eury said. “We believe that both above ground and below ground can be equally appreciated and accessible.” The downtown tunnel, which is closed evenings and weekends, keeps a low-profile. It has no central office or phone number, for example. At street level, there are hardly any tunnel directional signs or stairs that lead to the tunnel. Most people get to the tunnel by way of a building lobby where they take an elevator or escalator. One of the rare places where a pedestrian can enter the tunnel from the street is the front of Wells Fargo Plaza which has a landscaped stairway leading to the tunnel, although there is no sign identifying the tunnel. Once inside the vast tunnel system, it is easy for a person to get lost. There are color-coded maps on tunnel walls, but it is still easy to get turned around, partly because the tunnel winds and branches in so many directions and you can quickly lose your sense of the downtown street grid above. Keith Rosen, owner and primary tour director of Houston Historical Tours which offers a variety tours including downtown tunnel tours, said that even some of his tour guides are not thrilled by the idea of giving a tunnel tour because the underground system is so confusing. More often than not, when Rosen is giving one of his compelling tunnel tours a person not on the tour will walk up him, say that he or she is lost and ask him how to get somewhere. 28

PROPERTIES | VOLUME 2 – 2017

Even the Tunnel Lady has gotten lost. In 2007, while giving a New York Times reporter a tunnel tour, she took him to a spot she had not been to in a while and got mixed up by the lower and upper levels of a unique double-decker section of the tunnel. “We had to ask someone for help,” she recalled. There are few public restrooms in the tunnel, Rosen noted. In some instances, it is necessary to borrow a bathroom key or be given the entry code from a shop owner or building receptionist. Despite the drawbacks, many downtown workers have made the tunnel a part of their daily lives. Taking the escalator from the tunnel to the lobby of the 919 Miliam building after lunch, Marcus Wooten, a senior analyst at a downtown-based energy firm, said he’ll find a reason to be in the tunnel almost every work day. “If the weather is OK, I’ll stroll outside, but if it’s too hot or too cold — it’s the tunnel all the way,” he said. In years past, before the tunnel offered a multitude of lunch options, many downtown workers ate lunch in their company’s cafeteria, Lord said, but such a building amenity is hard to find now. Most underground businesses are food service operations, but the tunnel also offers florists, jewelry shops, hair salons, financial advisors and sundry shops selling gifts, lotto tickets and Tylenol. Many of the tunnel eateries are chains such as McDonald’s, Subway and Starbucks, but there are some mom and pop places, too. Houston-based Peli Deli, an offshoot of Peli Peli, features South African fusion dishes such as naan pork belly tacos; while Chicago-based 5411 Empanada offers Argentinian empanadas. Alonti Deli, which opened in Two Shell Plaza in 1974, is one of the tunnel’s longest running food operations, Lord said.

“We believe that both above ground and below ground can be equally appreciated and accessible.”

For some entrepreneurs, the tunnel can be an effective incubator. Salata, a salad bar concept, opened in the tunnel at 919 Milam in 2005, and now has 61 U.S. locations. Salata founder Berge Simonian previously owned a more traditional cafeteria-style operation in another part of the tunnel. He got the idea for Salata after noticing that his tunnel customers were ordering more salads and fewer hot items. Most tunnel lunch spots are inexpensive, quick serve spots, but there is at least one higher-end exception: The Post Oak Grill under the CenterPoint Building has waiters and linen tablecloths and napkins. The restaurant serves modern American cuisine

with “daily suggestions” priced at $19.95. Ileana Landero, the Post Oak Grill’s new business development manager, lamented that so few Houstonians know about the tunnel. If they did, more of them might consider an underground downtown experience like Post Oak Grill as an option, she said: “There’s a whole life down here.” There is increasingly more life on the downtown streets as well, and tunnel operators face increasingly stiff competition. Downtown developers are investing in street level life like they would have not imagined in previous decades.

Brookfield Property Partners, owner and operator of downtown’s Allen Center — which comprises One Allen Center, Two Allen Center and Three Allen Center — is spending more than $48 million on an above ground renovation that will include a one-acre lawn and event space, a twostory glass facade for One Allen Center at lobby level, a chef-driven restaurant and other retail. Once the project is complete, Allen Center will be a “vibrant” mixed-use destination that will “significantly” add to the above ground experience of downtown both on weekdays and weekends, said Paul Frazier, executive MARTHATURNER.COM

29


vice president and head of the Houston Region for Brookfield. Nevertheless, the Allen Center tunnel will continue to serve a vital role, Frazier said, because it is so convenient for office workers and will remain a strong selling point for potential tenants. Brookfield remodeled the One Allen Center tunnel five years ago and gave it a more modern feel with a new floor, wall finishes and lighting, and renamed it “the Court.” Two and Three Allen Center are connected to One Allen Center by way of sky bridges. In recent decades more downtown developers have opted for sky bridges over tunnels because they are cheaper and quicker to build, Rosen said.

Some downtown building owners have invested in snazzy tunnel remodels. The Neils Esperson Building tunnel has a sleek new look, complete with a stylish glass wall and handsome wood finishes. The relatively new 1000 Main building offers the pedestrian a rare opportunity to be standing in the tunnel while simultaneously viewing life at street level by looking through a wide window. Downtown Houston had tunnels predating the current underground system by a few decades, although they were much smaller in scope. In the early 1930s, Ross Sterling, a founder of Humble Oil who would also serve as Texas governor, built a

tunnel connecting his downtown PostDispatch Building, now the Magnolia Hotel, to his Sterling Building. Sterling’s son-in-law, Wyatt C. Hedrick, a nationally-renowned architect, designed Sterling’s two downtown buildings and tunnel. In that same decade, Houston entrepreneur Will Horwitz built a tunnel to connect his downtown movie and vaudeville houses. His air-conditioned tunnel contained an Old English style tavern, and a playground with a merrygo-round. The playground employed female daycare workers wearing white aprons. In the late 1940s, Foley’s department store opened a tunnel connecting it to its parking


garage. The legendary and now departed downtown store did not link to the larger downtown tunnel system until 2003. The modern-day downtown tunnel system began when the Bank of the Southwest Building, now 919 Milam, was connected to the 1010 Garage in the early 1960s. Also in the 1960s a few city buildings and what would become the Theater District garage system built tunnels, Lord noted.

but it has not been immune to natural disasters. During Tropical Storm Allison in 2001, flood water poured into parts of the tunnel, particularly under the Theater District, Bank of America Center and Pennzoil Place.

After the devastating storm, “submarinetype doors with inflatable rubber insulation for airtight seals” were installed in some parts of the tunnel, the New York Times reported. Of course, extreme weather is rare in Houston, and it is often pleasant outside. Downtown worker Marcus Wooten is likely to take advantage of a beautiful day during the lunch hour. But when he’s hungry and it is really hot or raining, the tunnel is “heaven-sent,” he said.

“There’s a whole life down here.”

The temperature-controlled downtown tunnel is designed to keep its users safe and comfortable in any kind of weather,

A number of businesses in the Pennzoil Place food court were destroyed, Lord recalled, but most of the tunnel system was up an running about a week after Allison.

HOUSTON’S

Five lanes of traffic swoosh slowly past as I walk north up Smith Street into Houston’s downtown. Concrete parking garages compete with swaying live oak trees that rise out of empty sidewalks, reaching for the mid-morning sun. In the distance the revolving restaurant of the Hyatt Regency Hotel and the Chevron towers stab into a cloudless sky.

SECOND

STORY COMMUTE Story and Photography by Spike Johnson

It was here, at the intersection of Jefferson Street that the first of Houston’s skywalks was built in 1963, linking the Whitehall Hotel and the Cullen Center’s multi-building complex. The master plan, by Welton Becket, separated circulation within the complex on three levels underground concourses for trucks, street level for cars, skywalks for pedestrians. From 1971 onwards the skywalk network was expanded to connect additional buildings in the Cullen Center complex, then to other buildings around

Downtown, including the Allen Center and the Houston Center. The skywalks, usually glass sided, steel frame structures, span city streets and intersections in a web of second story bridges. In these air conditioned tubes pedestrians can escape summer temperatures that push towards 100°F, navigating high-rise offices, shopping malls, and parking garages without interacting with city traffic. Today more than 50 of downtown Houston’s city blocks are connected by skywalks, with around ten to each complex. And as I explore the city from this elevated perspective my Fitbit clicks over 20,000 steps. In 1978 the Houston Center built its first skywalk connecting two buildings on adjacent city blocks. Designed by William L Pereira Associates of Los Angeles, on behalf of Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation, the


original plan for the Houston Center was a 75 acre office and shopping complex, built above a four level parking garage. The completed project would cover 32 city blocks, leaving only the street intersections open to the sky. The building proposal prompted widespread public outcry, coupled with the recession of the mid-1970s, halted most of the development. One and Two Houston Center were the only buildings to survive the cutbacks, one an imposing black-glass office high rise, the other a red brick complex of shops and restaurants.

Four Houston Center, a 16-story, twoblock shopping mall was built in 1983. And Five Houston Center, a 27-story office tower, designed by HKS and built for $115 million by Crescent Real Estate, opened in 2002. The tower housed the headquarters of Halliburton from 2003 to 2009. The buildings are linked by matching skywalks, each resembling a simplified subway car – a metal tube with rectangular windows, a beveled roof, and rows of orange tungsten bulbs that line the route in a warm light.

MORE THAN 50 OF DOWNTOWN HOUSTON’S CITY BLOCKS ARE CONNECTED BY

SKYWALKS.


Houston’s skywalks are accessed through building lobbies. Although they’re private structures, most have partial public access. The Hyatt Regency Hotel on Louisiana Street is one easy option, the route passing a convenient coffee shop. And the lobby of the Double Tree Hotel on Dallas Street offers a way into the network from the west. Occasionally street level access is available. The easiest example is an air conditioned tunnel that leads from the Chevron intersection at Bell Street and Smith Street, delivering you into the heart of the Cullen Center. Downtown Houston’s western perimeter is dominated by the Chevron complex. Its glass fronted, cylindrical towers shine silver in the midday sun. Central to Chevron’s three high-rises is a circular skywalk that connects the buildings. The torus shaped bridge floats over the intersection of Bell Street and Smith Street. Its full-length windows and curved white floor complement the trim of the surrounding structures. Enron, one of the world’s largest energy companies, originally occupied the buildings in 1990 when they moved into the first office tower at 1400 Smith Street, later commissioning the construction of two more towers. Enron’s move into downtown Houston prompted a surge of other businesses to migrate into the center of the city, pushing up office rent, and catalyzing architectural development. Five Houston Center, and its accompanying skywalk, is a product of this boom.

Two city blocks north, beneath the copper colored cylindrical tower of the Hyatt Regency Hotel’s revolving restaurant is one of the few diagonal skywalks in the city. It was built in conjunction with the 1100 Milam Building (now CenterPoint), and spans the Louisiana-Dallas intersection, to the east of the Hyatt. The original ducting that once carried air conditioning into the CenterPoint building still hangs from the roof of the skywalk, supported by the 45-degree angles of the external steel frame. The Allen Center’s skywalks, at Smith and Dallas, one block west of the Hyatt, were added to the Cullen Center complex after Century Development acquired the buildings from the original developer, Trammell Crow. Similar to the Houston Center, the buildings of Allen Center were planned to rise from a shared platform, designed to encourage street-level pedestrian circulation through gardens between the buildings. As Century Development added buildings to the initial structure at One Allen Center pedestrians were reluctant to spend time outside in the heat. Instead, buildings were connected with skywalks. In 2016 the Allen Center announced a $48.5 million renovation of the complex, again aiming to tempt the public into open spaces. The designs show One Allen Center’s redesigned façade - the removal of the existing glass entryway and brick base, giving the building a more modern exterior.


The popularity of Downtown’s Discovery Green Park provided the motivation for the renovation, which will offer a one-acre landscaped, tree-lined lawn between One and Two Allen Center – the largest privately owned green space in Downtown. At one end of the park a performance stage will offer visual focus and a means of entertainment.

The move away from the use of skywalks in the Allen Center could hint at a change in future architectural and public attitude. The project could signify a growing need for the outdoors despite the heat, for open space, and a promotion of street level, spontaneous human interaction, from which our beloved skywalks have so far kept us isolated.

PEDESTRIANS WERE RELUCTANT TO SPEND TIME OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT. INSTEAD, BUILDINGS WERE CONNECTED BY

SKYWALKS.
