Updates on BBP Projects

Picture1

Sunset Coffee Building
Early next year will mark the completion of the Sunset Coffee Building, one of the few remaining industrial buildings along Buffalo Bayou and a contributing structure within downtown’s Market Square Historic District. BBP, with Houston First Corporation, has transformed the site to feature: canoe/kayak and bike rental facilities at ground level; a café on the second level; and BBP’s new administrative office on the third level. Additionally, the rooftop terrace will be available for rent! Stay tuned for more details.

TIGER Hike and Bike Trail
Also slated for completion early next year is the TIGER Trail, a gap closure project from Smith to Milam Streets along Buffalo Bayou. The $4.6 million trail, funded through the federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program, is one of six projects designed to improve mobility in Houston by connecting trails. Learn more.

Buffalo Bend Nature Park
Finally, stay tuned for a January celebration of this park opening in the East End. Once an abandoned industrial site used for dumping construction debris, numerous donors and community volunteers helped transform this 10-acre site which features restored wetlands perfect for enjoying and learning more about the natural environment.

For press inquiries, email Trudi Smith, Director of PR and Events, or call 713.752.0314 ext. 103.
