Ten years of Midtown
September 11th, 2006
The front page of the Chronicle (online) today is a story about developers in Midtown and how the rules of the TIRZ make it complicated to build in the area. This gives me an opportunity to repost something that has now expired from Google’s cache: A Houston Business Journal article from 1995 (one year before their online archives begin) describing some of these very early developers: Redevelopers launching first Midtown project, Houston Business Journal, June 2, 1995.
Further reading: houstonmidtown.com; Wikipedia: Midtown, Houston (whose map puts us just over the line into the 3rd Ward); HBJ articles about Midtown (since 1996); the cover story of Governing magazine earlier this year (via).
