  • Skyhouse Main Tops Out
    SkyHouse Main Tops Out Milestone Reached on Second Luxury Mixed-Use Project in Downtown Houston Houston (Dec. 11, 2015) – Batson-Cook Construction will ceremonially top-out SkyHouse Main today, meaning the 24th floor of the 24-floor, 338-unit luxury mixed-use building at 1725 Main Street has been reached. “We are very proud today of Batson-Cook Construction Company, who have built many quality high rise communities across the United States,” said Jim Borders, CEO of Novare Group. “SkyHouse Main continues our efforts to do our part toward creating a great neigh- borhood on the southwestern edge of Downtown.” SkyHouse Main is the second tower in the location, joining SkyHouse Houston, which opened last year. Atlanta-based Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Company along with local developer Peter Dienna are jointly developing the project, which will include 4,700 square-feet of street-level retail. SkyHouse Main is expected to open in the summer of 2016. Apartment homes will have floor-to-ceiling glass and nine-foot plus ceiling heights with high- end finishes, including stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, wood floors, expan- sive balconies and high speed internet. The market-leading amenity package includes the signature SkyHouse on the top floor including a club room, fitness center, pool, and grilling area, with unimpeded views of much of Houston. The project is within walking distance of more than 40 million square feet of office space, the Toyota Center, Minute Maid Park and BBVA Compass Stadium. The project will be steps from the Bell Station Metrorail stop, providing residents with excellent access via public transportation to the surrounding areas including a short ride to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world and a large economic driver within the Houston metro.

  • Resource Assessment.Indd
    10 | Resource Assessment RESOURCE ASSESSMENT A resource assessment is a systematic way of gathering information that describes the resources and potential needs of a community. For a cultural arts master plan, this means understanding the existing population, cultural resources and physical organization of a place in order to make future decisions about cultural art investment, growth and the existing cultural art amenities that should be preserved and strengthened. There are many benefi ts to conducting a resource assessment: • Gather baseline data that can help with planning and evaluation. • Update demographic information for use in grant applications and for comparison to other cultural districts to understand the challenges and opportunities that are unique to Midtown. • Identify patterns in the location and quantity of cultural resources such as areas of overlap and areas lacking cultural resources. • Review the plans for future development and growth within the district to coordinate future cultural art investment. • Understand the physical connections between cultural arts amenities by identifying the pedestrian, bicycle, transit routes, wayfi nding signage and existing parking. • Identify existing public spaces, underdeveloped parcels and buildings that could be identifi ed as suitable locations for future cultural art investment. Midtown boasts 35 restaurants and entertainment venues, in addition to nearly 90 arts and culture venues. 11 MIDTOWN DISTRICT DEMOGRAPHICS POPULATION Population and employment speak to the general attractiveness of the District to residents, tourists and local businesses. These measures indicate overall economic development and can be used to compare Midtown with other cultural districts. Based Figure 3: Residential Population Figure 4: Employee Population on the 2015 population estimate from ESRI1, 9,818 people live in Midtown and 12,769 people work in Midtown.

  • Chapter 4 – Passenger Rail Systems
    The Texas Department of Transportation anticipates issuing an amendment to this report in early 2014 to reflect recent CHAPTER FOUR – PASSENGER RAIL developments on important rail initiatives in the state. Chapter 4 – Passenger Rail Systems To improve the coordination of the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of a statewide passenger rail system in the State of Texas, S.B. 1382 (Section 201.6012- 6013, Transportation Code), an act passed by the 81st Texas Legislature and approved by the governor on June 19, 2009, requires TxDOT to prepare and update annually a long-term plan for a statewide passenger rail system. The plan must include the following information useful for the development of the vision, goals, and objectives for the passenger rail system for Texas: • A description of existing and proposed passenger rail systems; • Information regarding the status of passenger rail systems under construction; • An analysis of potential interconnectivity difficulties; • Ridership projections for proposed passenger rail projects; and • Ridership statistics for existing passenger systems. This chapter provides the information required by Section 201.6012-6013, Transportation Code, plus additional information pertinent to understanding the challenges, issues, and opportunities for developing passenger rail services in Texas. Passenger rail services are divided into six categories in this chapter and are defined as follows: • High-speed rail is defined as rail operating at speeds of at least 150 mph non- stop or with limited stops between cities. • Intercity passenger rail is defined as rail serving several cities operating at slower speeds than high speed over long-distances with more frequent stops. • Commuter and regional rail is defined as rail primarily serving work commuters between communities in an urban area or region.
