Innovation Tower Innovation Tower will be a 48-story 1.6 million-square-foot mixed-use facility near the Texas Med Center.

HOUSTON—The healthcare sector has seemingly recovered from a slew of major provider layoffs in 2017. More than 130,000 square feet of medical office space was delivered in the fourth quarter of last year with more developments coming in the near term, according to a report by Transwestern. This is resulting in developers' continued interested in the potential Houston holds for medical office buildings.

Another project is set to get underway with a primary focus on meeting the needs of biomedical, technology and healthcare users at the Texas Medical Center. Construction on Innovation Tower, a 48-story 1.6 million-square-foot mixed-use facility, is slated to begin at the end of third quarter 2019.
