Denenburg recently bought the red brick building that rises five stories alongside the Southwest Freeway just east of downtown. Though there's been a renaissance of the neighborhood around it, the old Cheek-Neal Coffee building has languished for decades, a target for graffiti artists and a shelter for the homeless.

^ Those first few shots are one of the best angles of the downtown Houston skyline I've seen. Looks pretty world class from that view.

High School for the Performing and Visual Arts

Last December HISD held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new HSPVA. After tearing up the parking lot @1300 Capitol St. (where the building will sit), work came to a halt due to a conflict with the general contractor. A new GC has been selected and construction will resume soon.

Little Rock-based Bank of the Ozarks will provide financing for the project, which will encompass the block bounded by Kirby Drive, West Main Street, Colquitt Street and Lake Street. The development will include a 25-story, 385,000-square-foot residential tower; a 13-story, 210,000-square-foot Class A office building; and 65,000 square feet of high-end retail along Kirby Drive, including restaurants.

The development on Kirby is awesome. 10 years ago shortly after the LRT was built I remember reading threads on HAIF with people saying there would never be TOD, never any urban mixed use along the main street corridor, etc.

Now there is tons of it.

As for the other thing I never though I'd see something like that built on Fondren.

The Lyric Centre, one of downtown Houston’s premier business addresses, announced today plans to make significant improvements to the property located in downtown Houston. The plan outlines approximately 30,000 square feet of prime retail space with excellent exposure bordering Smith and Louisiana Streets, directly across from the Wortham Theatre. Upscale restaurant venues, wine tasting rooms, and light entertainment are planned for the retail space taking advantage of the open air plaza and garden scape near the existing Virtuoso statue.

Beltway 8 / Ship Channel Bridge

According to the Harris County Toll Road Authority, the existing bridge that spans over the Houston Ship Channel needs to be replaced. Plans call for a new cable-stayed bridge.

More construction will follow. A project nine years in the making - postponed at one time by the 2008 financial crisis - River Oaks District transformed several acres into a nucleus of some of the world's top luxury retailers including Cartier, Dior, Hermès and Tom Ford.
