I don't know if this is a problem of "government buildings" where pressures to keep costs down trump any sort of architectural statement a private company may be motivated to make. At least it improves on what was there... Have you seen with your eyes every condo building Randall Davis has put up? How about the Fertitta Hotel? 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Texas A&M, Medistar break ground on $500M Texas Medical Center campus By Olivia Pulsinelli – Assistant managing editor, Houston Business Journal 7 hours ago The Texas A&M University System and Houston-based developer Medistar Corp. held a groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 1 for the university's $500 million campus in the Texas Medical Center area. Texas A&M Innovation Plaza is slated to be complete by 2024. It incorporates an existing tower and two new ones on 5 acres adjacent to the TMC at the corner of Holcombe Boulevard and Main Street. The main components of the campus are: Discovery Tower: Texas A&M acquired the 18-story office building at 1020 Holcombe Blvd. in 2017 for $145 million. That building was purchased to house the two-degree EnMed program, which provides students the chance to earn a master’s degree in engineering from Texas A&M University and a medical degree from the Texas A&M College of Medicine. Following renovations, Discovery Tower is slated to open later this year. Life Tower: The 19-story, 714-bed student housing tower is scheduled to be complete in June 2022. Texas A&M medical students and Prairie View A&M University nursing students will be given priority in Life Tower, but other students could fill any remaining units. Horizon Tower: Built atop a 13-story parking structure at 6929 Main St., the medical building will offer 485,000 square feet across 17 stories for life sciences, clinical, biomedical, technology and office uses. Horizon Tower is scheduled to deliver in January 2024, and JLL is handling leasing. The campus will also feature a scenic plaza as well as retail and dining. The 13-story parking structure features 2,800 spots. Harvey Builders, the construction company of record, is building Life Tower and Horizon Tower. Medistar is developing the public-private partnership projects, which will total $401 million in private investment. Infrastructure investment firm American Triple I Partners, founded by Texas A&M alum Henry Cisneros, is part of the financing team. “The pandemic has underlined the importance of medical technology and research,” TAMU System Chancellor John Sharp said in a press release. “There is no better place for our groundbreaking EnMed program and other Texas A&M System initiatives to locate than the Texas Medical Center.” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Why is it going to take 4 years to build the Horizon Tower? Seems like a long construction timeframe for a 30 story building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they demo the existing parking garage for the 30 story building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted November 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2020 Talked with this guy about the project. I asked when they were going to start digging and he said probably next week. They are in the process of moving the utilities. I then asked if Harvey is going to build the 30 story building too and he said yes. Questioned him about the timeline for the 30 story and wether they will wait till the student dorms are done and he said they will be doing both after they demo the parking garage. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this development going by phase or are all towers under construction at once? The academic building renovation is complete or almost complete. The residential building has begun construction (I think mainly site work though). The office building will be next and has not started yet. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
