Houston is probably the state's biggest economic hot spot, Shankar said, thanks to its sheer size and broad-based growth and booming energy industry.

I really like the Bel Air the more I see it. I had a chance to go in a take a look out the window from one of the units. The views aren't bad at all.

Anchors to be revealed at Houston Pavilions groundbreaking

Houston Business Journal - February 23, 2007

Two new anchor tenants for the Houston Pavilions will be announced on Feb. 27, the day the project officially breaks ground.

The mixed-use project from developers William Denton and Geoffrey Jones will finally begin construction almost a year behind schedule.

The development also has changed in scope from the original vision, with 140 planned condominiums no longer part of the mix, a change that reduced the total value of Houston Pavilions to $170 million from $200 million.

North Houston Bank is providing $120.6 million in construction financing.

The three-block project bounded by Dallas, Polk, Main and Caroline in downtown Houston will contain 360,000 square feet of retail space and 200,000 square feet of office space. Developers also have a 60-year master lease on 1,600 spaces in an adjacent parking garage.

Tenants that have already been announced include House of Blues; Lucky Strike bowling center; Lawry's, The Prime Rib; Tuscany coffee shop; Yao's Restaurant and Bar; Antica Osteria Italian restaurant; Red Cat Jazz Cafe; and McCormick & Schmick's seafood restaurant.

A grand opening is expected in October 2008.

Hope this gets started. We shall see...

Sooooo, they say the 140 planned condos are not part of the project, what about the apartments?

Great_Hizzy · #**391** Posted **Feb 26, 2007, 8:26 PM**

As I said, it's so much better to speculate as to what or who will be part of the Pavillions District (I'm gonna go ahead and start calling a "district" in honor of the myriad districts that comprise DT Houston currently) rather than whether or not the Pavillions actually gets built.

It's really starting to look like ground zero, too. Went by the site earlier during lunch and things are slowly loading into place--back hoes, bulldozers, etc, etc.

Cory · #**392** Posted **Feb 26, 2007, 9:47 PM**

Nevermind me, for some reason I thought apartments were suppose to be part of the project. I probably meant the hotel. I am pretty sure that is a no go.

So is there any word on these cranes?

c4smok · #**394** Posted **Mar 6, 2007, 12:20 AM**

seems they were just replacing some stuff up there from what I heard..

Great_Hizzy · #**395** Posted **Mar 6, 2007, 4:04 AM**

The lighting at the rooftop llooks a bit different now as well.

The new Catholic Cathedral nearing completion downtown

The Mosaic can be seen rising on the horizon towards the left side of this pic

Cory · #**397** Posted **Mar 6, 2007, 3:17 PM**

Here is a pic I took of the Mosaic last week. Had no idea they would start on the second tower so late. Not saying that they already started.

So have they started the second one? This is good news.

Shasta · #**399** Posted **Mar 6, 2007, 4:33 PM**

Great pic. You almost never see a view in that direction. The Moody Towers stand out more than I thought they would. Also, is that a smoke stack billowing smoke just to the left of the Moody Twins?

Cory · #**400** Posted **Mar 6, 2007, 4:36 PM**

No I was saying they have not started on the second one. I just thought they would have by now.

I am assuming the smokestack is near the port.
