Popular Post Urbannizer Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 More: https://www.tmc.edu/tmc3/industry-building-1/ The first of four industry research sites on the TMC3 campus, Industry Building 1 will provide state-of-the-art surroundings for commercial enterprises such as pharmaceutical firms, biotech companies, and investment partners. Spanning 10 stories, the multi-tenant building will house research labs, office space, shared common areas for informal collaboration, and – like all TMC3 buildings – public retail and restaurant space on the first floor. A pivotal TMC3 research facility, Industry Building 1 spans 700,000 SF and was designed by renowned Elkus Manfredi Architects, a key player in shaping several of Massachusetts’ leading life science clusters. The property is being developed in collaboration with Boston-based Beacon Capital Partners, a tenant-focused private real estate investment firm with a 75-year legacy of successful real estate development, ownership, and management. https://www.tmc.edu/tmc3/hotel-conference-center/ The TMC3 hotel will serve as home for life science researchers, industry executives, and venture capitalists helping to make Houston the global leader in life science and human health. https://www.tmc.edu/tmc3/mixed-use-facility/ The TMC3 Mixed-Use Facility, currently in development, is a key component of the 50,000 SF of retail space that will emerge across the TMC3 campus. The building will offer extensive ground-level retail, as well as ample parking for up to 2,000 vehicles. In addition, its location is ideal, within easy walking distance of the TMC3 Hotel and Conference Center, as well as all TMC3 Phase One buildings. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheSirDingle Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just wow... Also new Master Plan: https://www.tmc.edu/tmc3/master-plan/ Quote Economic Impact: https://www.tmc.edu/tmc3/economic-impact/ Quote The economic advantages of TMC3 will be extraordinary. Each year, the State of Texas will benefit from an ongoing annual impact of over $5.4 billion. More than 23,000 permanent new Harris County jobs will drive that gain, representing virtually all industries, pay scales, tax levels, and educational backgrounds. In addition, 19,000 construction jobs will be created to help bring TMC3 to life. Going to be an insane short and long term impact on the economy, and an absolutely wild amount of permanent jobs created. It also brings an astounding "815k Sf of public parks" in that iconic helix formation or as they call it the "Helix Gardens". At last it seems like phase one is a lot more buildings than I previously thought. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it say anything about the hotel? Can you paste text? If I may step in for @texan. The first phase of the campus includes 950,000 square feet of translational research space, a hotel with over 500 rooms and 65,000 square feet of conference space, a 350-unit residential development, 18.7 acres of public park space and 2,000 parking spots. The entire 37-acre TMC campus, designed by Boston-based Elkus Manfredi Architects, will include approximately 6 million square feet of anticipated development in total. The first phase of TMC3 will be anchored by a 700,000-square-foot facility being developed by Boston-based Beacon Capital Partners and life science investment firm Braidwell. The first half of the anchor facility is scheduled to break ground in the fourth quarter of 2021, TMC said. The planned hotel, residential tower and conference space will be at the north end of the TMC3 campus. Los Angeles-based Majestic Realty Co., which previously worked on the LA Live entertainment complex in downtown Los Angeles, plans to develop the hotel, residential tower and conference center simultaneously in Phase One. 10 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 Texas Medical Center breaks ground on TMC3, a massive research campus with shops, DNA-shaped parks Construction has begun on a 37-acre biomedical research campus in the Texas Medical Center that is designed to boost the region’s stature on the life sciences stage, TMC announced Tuesday morning. Plans for the new campus, called TMC3, include 5 million square feet of development in which researchers will mingle with businesses that can commercialize new treatments that come from their findings. Buildings with restaurants and shops on the first floor will cluster around a series of parks meant to resemble the double helix of a DNA molecule — all spaces designed for people to gather and share ideas. The goal is to enhance the area’s cluster effect, in which a dense concentration of related companies breeds innovation. Clusters — think movies in Hollywood, technology in Silicon Valley and, of course, energy in Houston — provide the kind of access to customers, talent pools, support services and the exchange of knowledge that attracts more companies, talent and investment in the kind of virtuous circle that drives economic growth. The development is a collaborative effort of the Medical Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M University Health Science Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Medical Center changed its deed restrictions for TMC3 to allow industry players such as pharmaceutical companies and investors onto land it had long barred from for-profit companies. In recent years, those companies have increasingly worked with outside researchers who can help translate research done in the Medical Center into new treatments. They can often be seen working side by side in major life-science hubs. The “3” in TMC3 is meant to meant to indicate Houston’s nascent status as a “third coast” for life sciences, in addition to major hubs on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the Boston and San Diego areas. “We finally have opened the gates to this sleeping giant after 75 years, and said: ‘Industry, come sit next to our top researchers — brain researchers, cancer researchers — and be in the same lab and translate those discoveries to human benefit,” said William McKeon, chief executive of the Texas Medical Center. “The impact on patients worldwide has the potential to be nothing short of life-changing.” The first phase of construction will include 950,000 square feet of research space, a hotel with upward of 500 rooms and 65,000 square-feet of conference space, and a 350-unit residential tower. All of the infrastructure, such as streets, utilities, parking and parks, will be completed within the first phase. The land between Brays Bayou and Old Spanish Trail where TMC3 is being developed previously housed above-ground parking. Parking will be moved underground and the 815,000 square feet of parks will be designed to be a place where restaurants can have outdoor seating, scientists can share ideas, local businesses can hold farmers markets, musicians can play concerts and academic institutions can hold graduations. McKeon emphasized the importance of having a space where TMC3 employees can live, work and mingle. “I’m on a campus right now that has over 120,000 employees and it’s a food desert,” he said of the Medical Center. “So what happens if you’re a colleague that I met, and we said ‘Let’s meet for a glass of wine’?… Now with the TMC3 campus, it’s all there.” The majority of the projects first phase are projected to be ready in late summer of 2023. rebecca.schuetz@chron.com https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/TMC3-a-massive-biomedical-research-campus-at-16423937.php 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Any comments on decoupling the hotel from the proposed residential tower and doing away with the curvature? Remember, the current position of the residences was previously identified as future office development space. I imagine that such redesign decisions are cost-driven (and perhaps post-pandemic driven). The hotel room count spiked upward, so the hotel itself is pretty tall even without adding residential units on top (reminds me of the Fairmont in Austin, which I love BTW). I’d guess that the hotel & conference center will break ground within the next year. Timing is everything to match up with expected future demand. The Blossom Hotel open date as shown on Google is regularly delayed a week or two at a time (this’ll be a nice venue, and I’m excited to see it thrive in the TMC). In addition to the Intercontinental and Westin, the Blossom and Hyatt will provide near-term accommodations proximate to TMC3.

It happens a lot more than you think. The County has been pretty forward about the fact that they want more and more larger projects to handle all site runoff and water detention. Sites should do that anyway, but its started getting pretty ridiculous. Sometimes they can take up a massive portion of a site just to offset the footprint the building takes up. Its one reason many have resorted to underground detention, and simply build on top of it. What this has done is that its help the county and city catch up with their own infrastructure, but my hope is that the city and county can at some point create a more wholistic solution, so this cost isn't constantly thrown onto developers just like they do with parking requirements. Its one of those things where people are like...Houston doesn't have zone. Its true, but a few particular ordinances and regulations in effect substitute zone by putting developers in a box. Rainwater detention/retention is one of those, and parking is another. Edited September 3, 2021 by Luminare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
