GreenStreet, formerly known as Houston Pavilions, is a commercial development in Downtown Houston, Texas, United States.
Construction was scheduled to begin in Spring 2006,[2] with the first developments opening in the fourth quarter of 2007. The project possesses an estimated cost of $200 million and is expected to contain almost 560,000 square feet (50,000 m2) of space, including 360,000 square feet (33,000 m2) of retail space in the first two levels of the development.[1] The project covers three 1.4-acre (5,700 m2) city blocks. As of November 16, 2006, 50% of the retail space had been leased. 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of loft office space will be available on the mid-block between Fannin and San Jacinto Streets. Office parking will be provided in the Houston Pavilions' 1,675 garage located on the corner of Main and Polk.[3]
The project was developed by Texas Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Entertainment Development Group, who also developed the Denver Pavilions in Denver, Colorado. Geoffrey Jones[4] and William Denton served as the co-developers of the project. The designers were Laguarda.Low Architects from Dallas.
To finance the development, developers obtained a construction loan from North Houston Bank, an $8.8 million development grant for infrastructure improvements from the city of Houston, and $5.5 million from Harris County.
The Houston Chronicle reported that the Pavilions will provide around 1,800 to 2,000 full- and part-time jobs.
The Houston Pavilions office tower, which is 11 stories tall, is named the NRG Tower, after its main tenant.[5]
