Houston’s East End has been a magnet for successive waves of growth. Today over a half a billion dollars is being invested to create a livable walkable community with the construction of Metro’s light rail and community beautification projects.
Museums such as the Houston Maritime Museum and the Houston Railroad Museum and public spaces are being planned including street markets, street cafés and new parks. Several major developments are planned to attract tourists visiting Houston.
Paseo de las Americas is underway in Houston’s East End.
Located on a five block development on Harrisburg Blvd, not only is rich in Texas History but its close proximity to the Port of Houston, Downtown Houston, the Texas Medical Center and Hobby Airport makes this location a unique development.
With the near opening of Metro’s light rail connection to Downtown Houston, the area is changing into a unique tourist destination similar to San Antonio’s Marketplace to showcase the history of Texas birthplace.
Major developments are underway like Plaza Marbella a multi-use retail facility which will house restaurants, souvenir shops, a country chapel and the Alley of the Kiss where lovers will seal their first kiss for eternity. Surrounding Cesar Chavez Metro Station will be other attractions like Josie’s Marketplace, an antique car museum, Weingarten Plaza and others.
Street cafes will surface along the Paseo as a recognition of the East End as the Coffee Capital of the World.
Future developments include Restaurants and Patio cafes around the Original Ninfa’s on Navigation.
