Houston Pavilions, downtown's new mixed-use development with dining, entertainment, retail and office space, opened October 16, 2008, with an exciting line-up of big-name venues. Houston Pavilions brings together the best of city life to one downtown location - four city blocks bounded by Dallas Street to the north, Polk Street to the south, Main Street to the west and Caroline Street to the east. The pedestrian and dog-friendly, open-air retail entertainment center is comprised of 360,000 square feet of retail space, 200,000 square feet of office space and a 1,600-space parking garage. Retail space and dining venues occupy the first two levels of the center, with entertainment venues located on the third floor. A central courtyard and people-friendly streetscapes will allow for alfresco dining and lots of window-shopping.
In the anchor positions are House of Blues, XXI Forever, Lucky Strike Lanes and Books-A-Million. Each of the anchors is in excess of 24,000-square-feet.
