Astros-affiliated company buys land across from Minute Maid Park
Quote:
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Houston Astros' footprint and influence in downtown are expanding.
During Wednesday's Houston City Council meeting, a company affiliated with the Astros, 1800 Texas LLC, was announced as the buyer of a parcel of land across from Minute Maid Park. The purchase is worth $17 million.
The 1.738-acre parcel of land sits along Texas Avenue between Avenida de Las Americas and Hamilton.
But, Astros fans and those who frequent downtown know the plot well as the current homes of the Cohn House, or the landmark blue home, and the neighboring railroad train engine.
Plans are not finalized yet for what's being earmarked as a "mixed-use" project on the vacant land.
