Houston Gets It On - A Lot!

Daily-ist Thursday: Wooden Birds In-Store at Cactus Music
We were starting to wonder whether anything was going to happen with Houston Pavilions, the retail/entertainment/residential/office complex planned for three blocks on the south end of downtown. After all, the land sale was completed in mid-January, and we haven't heard much since House of Blues and Lucky Strike signed on as tenants. But now there is news: The developers have secured $140 million in financing and groundbreaking is set for Nov. 6.
The development, in case you've forgotten, will stretch east from Main and Dallas and will include 350,000 square feet of retail space, 140 condo units and 200,000 square feet of office space. The development will be similar to the popular Denver Pavilions, though it'll be more than twice as big. The architects are Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum.
Financing is coming from North Houston Bank, with additional funding from the city, Harris County, the Downtown District and Houston Catalyst LP; expect the doors to open late in 2008.
