Retail Center Expansion on Main Avenue Reshapes City Business
Rumors say Wolff & Marx will occupy a ten story building on West Houston street while a nearby ten story Stowers structure rises on Main avenue north of the Clower building. The projects promise a second major retail district and higher property values along Main avenue and West Houston street as commerce shifts toward these new towers. Existing growth includes the Newton block and Bell and Duggar buildings, each expanding commercial space and potential future height.
