Understory will offer a wide variety of culinary, retail and cultural offerings when open in 2019.
HOUSTON—Understory, the 35,000-square-foot community hub and culinary market at Capitol Tower, will be an experience-based destination that brings the community together through culture, commerce and cuisine. In addition to an abundance of community space and a full-service restaurant, Understory will include a culinary market with seven chef-driven concepts and a cocktail bar.
A central feature of Understory is the open-air blending of the street and tunnel levels, facilitated by the Great Steps, a 30-foot-wide monumental staircase and gathering place that will create the first true street level gateway to the tunnel network. This gateway will be highlighted by an art installation that will be visible from Capitol, Rusk and Milam streets.
