That excavator first rolled out here on La Branch and Binz last summer — and 11 months later this is how the site looks: Catty-corner from the Children’s Museum, the Museum Point Professional Building appears to be all but complete. The 4-story building at 1401 Binz was originally planned to be 30,000-sq.-ft., with retail on the first floor, a clinic and offices on the middle floors, and some kind of residence (“with a garden terrace”) up top. A 160-car parking garage was also planned.

That view is from the south side of Binz. Attempts to contact contractors Arch-Con and Bailey Architects haven’t been returned; we’ll update the story with more details when we have them.

“Was supposed to have…”
Is there a “but” coming?
One day, this entire area will be called The Texas Medical Center.
What an impressive parking lot.
How did that song go? Something, something, “L”, “Y”, “you ain’t got no alibi” . . .
Whew. So glad to see a surface parking lot in the museum district. We need more of them to make the area truly world class.
Not like there isn’t a light rail stop 3 blocks away
