The project scope will include site development, which includes utility infrastructure work, construction of the exterior shell and core, and the limited interior finish-out of the facility. The goal is to construct a new garage facility to help meet the institution's parking facility needs. This facility is anticipated to be a free-standing, 1,200-car (minimum) parking garage of approximately 570,000 gross square feet (GSF), to be located on Pressler Street along Fannin Street, and adjacent to the Dan L. Duncan Building. This facility primarily will serve the needs of workforce members who currently park in the garage adjacent to Mid Campus Building 1 but who do not work in that facility. The project has a Design-Build Budget Limitation (DBBL) of TWENTY ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO/100 ($21,500,000.00). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 The MDACC Master Plan 2030 mentions this site, Fannin & Pressler, as the ROC II site. This Garage 2 is apart of the upcoming ROC II building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 kmd architects did a master plan for MDACC once. https://www.kmdarchitects.com/md-anderson The challenge for the design team (KMD in association with FKP, Houston) was to create a new paradigm for cancer care and a plan that would minimize the institutional effect of its daunting size while being able to adapt to technological advances in the equipment and treatment of cancer patients. The team succeeded in constructing an inviting and soothing ambulatory care setting with long-term usability and value. The ACB was envisioned as an integral piece of a ‘campus’ designed in the manner of an Italian Village with a central piazza. The master plan called for a series of medium-height buildings organized around the central village green, the ACB being the first of four buildings that will surround a central “healing garden”. The proposed campus is on Pressler between Bertner & Fannin. This would take out the mentioned surface lot and half of the greenspace called MD Anderson Prairie. Pressler Street Garage 2 is apart of the Phase 4. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Some of the MDA Prairie will be wiped out for development. It is nice to have manicured green space, but the land is worth too much to not develop it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 A TMC development map I found includes a tower on MD Anderson's Prairie land. Tower number 10. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower number 10. I'm pretty sure building number 10 is the former Houston Main Building which was demolished in 2012. It makes sense for it to be in this image since the MD Anderson Alkek tower expansion, which was completed before the Houston Main Building's demolition, isn't shown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 Master Framework 2030 - Bridging Strategy dated 1.28.2022. MD Anderson is focusing on a new campus called South of Holcombe. It will be a total of 4 buildings (+1 garage). They are shifting out of the North Campus and creating a formal South of Holcombe Campus. I wonder if this shift is preparing for the planned dual Patient Towers? The 2 and 3 Ambulatory Clinical Buildings are being designed for future vertical expansion! Will reach a total of 25 floors!! The next 10 years of the TMC is going to be wild!!

Highrise Tower Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 KMD Architects and FKP Architects created a MD Anderson South of Holcombe Campus Master Plan. The master plan features 4 buildings and 1 parking garage. I believe the master plan is old? I haven't seen a rendering of the new layout and 2/3 Ambulatory Clinical Buildings. It would be great if Elkus Manfredi did the master plan. Elkus Manfredi really took off with our medical center. They have done 5 major TMC project this year. TMC Helix Park, MD Anderson SCRB 5, TMC BioPort, TMC Innovation Factory, and finally the proposed Bayou Tech Hub that fell through. I look forward to seeing the new master plan! Here is the current stacking plan for 2/3 ACB. Very tall buildings. Will definitely make a statement for people riding the METRO Red Line! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 A fence with a blue screen appeared this week. I'd hope this was setup for ACB2 and 3ACB forthcoming construction. It appears to be a chiller replacement for the Dan L. Duncan building that's located within the SOH campus? I see, and I might be wrong, a generator, a trailer, and 3 chillers (or other equipment.) The new Ambulatory Clinical Buildings are supposed to cost a fortune! I believe one of them is $1.2 billion? The other is $900 million if I recall correctly. Any renderings of the proposed towers? Glass facade or pink stone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 In the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Capital Expenditure Plan Report dated September 2022; there is talk about the forthcoming MD Anderson Ambulatory Clinical Buildings 2 and 3. Both in footprint, and dollar value, these 2 buildings are very impressive. Believe it's 2.5 million square feet and nearly $2.5 billion in cost. The buildings are said to start construction in July 2024. Also known as 2ACB and 3ACB. Stopped by this weekend to take an aerial view photograph of the allocated land space for the proposed towers. Supposed to take out this park space here: Also the small surface parking lot: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Highrise Tower Posted June 23 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 23 Out for bidding!! The taller one is set to be 26 stories with a height of 438 feet. At full build-out it will be 3.1 million square feet, Phase 1 includes 1.9 million square feet. This will be massive, imposing at street level. The METRORail Red Line will go right next to it when passing Fannin Street. This also extends the Holcombe Blvd skyline! MD Anderson does it again. Let's go!! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aachor Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I'm happy to see the large attached garage spanning Pressler. From experience, I know that one of the largest challenges for people with family being treated at MD Anderson is finding parking that doesn't involve traversing streets with your sick, wheelchair-bound family member. Doubly so for out of towners who are not familier with the area or accustomed to city driving. When my girlfriend (now wife) was being treated, it was always a stressful ordeal to drop her off at an entrance by herself while I drove off in search of an open garage space. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 One of the buildings in the South of Holcombe campus was undergoing renovations today. They had shut down Bertner Avenue so a boom could lift something up. Possibly in preparation of the forthcoming towers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
