The downtown Pavilions project will finally break ground next week, and with the announcement comes news that the development will no longer include condominiums (via the Houston Business Journal):
Two new anchor tenants for the Houston Pavilions will be announced on Feb. 27, the day the project officially breaks ground.
The mixed-use project from developers William Denton and Geoffrey Jones will finally begin construction almost a year behind schedule.
The development also has changed in scope from the original vision, with 140 planned condominiums no longer part of the mix, a change that reduced the total value of Houston Pavilions to $170 million from $200 million.
You’ll recall that the developers lobbied hard for some financial help from the city and county, at least $14 million worth of help.
Which reminds me: Have we heard anything recently about Metro’s big mixed-use transit center development?
