hindesky Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Looked for topic about this but the search didn't come up with anything. The parking garage is being demolished. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Looked online to find any info, found a web page about the whole complex at Riesner, the building was built in the '50's and it needs a bunch of work, but this is just about the parking garage, it has structural failure. http://www.houstontx.gov/council/committees/pshs/20140211/justicecomplex.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookey23 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Based on the TDLR filing, I imagine this has to do with the i45 rebuild. I hope this means that those huge parking lots around the area get consolidated into this one parking structure and the rest of that prime, downtown-adjacent land gets turned into something good (ideally parks or high density mixed-use) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They own the warehouses off washington ave and it makes total sense for them to renovate them. Lets count all that is happened on this 17 acre site once discussed as a potential Justice-Complex: 1. City prison moved to city/county facility off San Jacinto in 2018 (not 100% sure of that date) 2. Large police parking garage demolished in 2022 3. Central Dispatch to be moved to Morin Pl renovated facility- ETA 2025 4. Municipal Courts moved to TBA location. (either on a sliver of the land they own off Washington Ave - near where the garage once sat - or downtown Houston) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The city of Houston planning commission keeps mentioning a massive redo in this area when the I-45 project starts: Also, do we honestly consider this the Heights? Open to moving this elsewhere. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually came across it in the same document that the planning group is proposing changes along with the I-45 redo. Go to the I-45 thread and click on the latest PDF I posted to see more details about the area. (on a trip so I can't post it here or I would). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open to moving this elsewhere. The railroad crossing on Houston Avenue west of the Amtrak stop is a good landmark, it turned out. North and east of that is First Ward, south of that is Sixth Ward. Morin Place is in Sixth but the Amtrak stop is in First. https://tile.loc.gov/image-services/iiif/service:gmd:gmd403:g4034:g4034h:ct002034/full/pct:12.5/0/default.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Asked the worker in the front what they were building next to the old building, he said "un parqueadero de siete pisos"*. Asked him if it would be cast in place or precast but he didn't know. *7 story parking garage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 The fact that a crawler crane has shown up pretty much says to me this will be a 7 story pre-cast parking garage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
