Houston Pavilions represents the last major piece of the puzzle in downtown Houston’s resurgence into a 24-hour city. Rhythmic patterns of brick piers, metal extrusions and translucent panels unify and organize this project spanning three city blocks.

The site’s three city blocks are bordered by Main, Dallas, Caroline and Polk Streets in downtown Houston. The project also spans over Fannin and San Jacinto Streets. Sited along the new rail line, Pavilions represents the last major piece of the puzzle in downtown Houston’s resurgence into a 24-hour city. The project will be home to 395,000 square feet of retail tenants, distributed across the three blocks at two and three stories. In addition, the project will include a mid-rise residential tower and one office loft tower. The residential tower will be 140,000 square feet over twelve stories. The office loft building will be 215,000 square feet over nine stories. Parking will occur in an adjacent existing parking garage as well as one level underground.

A 15’ rhythm of brick piers and metal extrusions will act as the main organizer of the project unifying the exterior of the three city blocks. In contrast to the measured exterior, the interior open air alley purposefully dissipates these datums and takes on a more fluid dynamic. The project’s bridges over Fannin and San Jacinto act as gateways to the city and thus the supporting trusses become expressed and covered with translucent panels that allow light into the interior space while offering needed protection.
