In a slideshow on the Houston Chronicle website, Rebecca Hennes describes the major developments that will change the landscape of one of the country's biggest cities in the next few years. As Hennes writes, "Expect massive redesigns of some of Houston's most famous landmarks, brand new architectural centers that will elevate the city as a cultural hub and strikingly beautiful upgrades in some of the Bayou City's most talked-about areas."

The projects include:

  • A massive expansion of the city's zoo
  • A land bridge that will connect the north and south sides of Memorial Park as part of the park's $200 million master plan
  • TMC3, a 6 million square-foot development in the Texas Medical Center touted as a "collaborative campus that connects researchers with businesses to commercialize new treatments"
  • A 28-story office tower on the edge of Discovery Green
  • Several new H-E-B grocery stores
  • Katy's Crystal Lagoon, a man-made swimming area complete with a sandy beach
  • Hewlett Packard Enterprise's new headquarters
