The final portion of the 6-story former Town & Country V office building at 908 Town & Country Blvd., including its elevator shaft, came down in an awkward curtsy yesterday, leaving workers in the lower floors of the neighboring 15-story CityCentre Five with nothing left to block their views of the Katy Fwy. Demolitions of the adjacent Town & Country III and Town & Country IV office buildings preceded it.
The unobstructed freeway view won’t last forever: Developer Midway is planning 2 new office buildings — as well as a residential highrise — for the cleared site.

Where is Town and Country? Why is this relevant to Houston?
Adam, it’s probably relevant because of the large contribution this area makes in property taxes to the Houston area and the substantial business and sales taxes generated in T & C businesses and offices.
Adam, are you being intentionally dense, or are you trying to point out that T&C is now called City Centre, or what? T&C Way is within the city limits of Houston, near the intersection of Beltway 8 — excuse me, the West Sam Houston Tollway — and I-10 Katy Fwy. Just in case Google Maps doesn’t work today or something.
