The flip of the property from public to private suggests it’s developers, not...
The exterior of POST Houston, the downtown redevelopment of the former Barbara Jordan Post office, is shown Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020 in Houston.At least a few hundred of us found ourselves together in early April on a roof high above the city. The buildings of one of Houston’s six or seven skylines seemed close enough to touch.
The downtown Post Office, opened in 1962 is a 16-acre facility that is at the cross roads of many infrastructures, Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012, in Houston. It all used to be the Barbara Jordan Post Office, with a sorting warehouse whose roof was now a park and the modernist administrative building out front where Houstonians had for decades sent away tax returns or love letters or job applications.
Now, the buildings are POST Houston, and they are harder to ignore. This, too, is the point. In 2014, at the rear of the recession, when the U.S.P.S. was often said to be “losing money,” the federal government started looking to sell buildings it had once commissioned and celebrated. A year later, longtime local developer Lovett Commercial took advantage of historic tax credits from this same government to buy them and flip them into something more for our moment.
