‘SuperBlock’ mixed-use breaking in Midtown

HOUSTON – Midtown Redevelopment Authority plans to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for Midtown Park next week.

Midtown Park is a six-acre site that will be developed into a mixed-use facility including a public park, retail space, residential facilities and a public parking garage, according to the Midtown Redevelopment Authority.

The retail plaza will take up half an acre adjacent to McGowen St. and will include a restaurant and kiosk. The 2.5-acre greenspace south of the multifamily development will include a great lawn and a pavilion and stage structure.

The groundbreaking is scheduled for May 28, and Midtown Park is expected to be complete in late 2016.
