Main Street Square

Central Houston worked with downtown constituents and allies to design and construct Main Street Square, a three-block pedestrian plaza in the 900-1100 blocks of Main Street.  The Square includes a massive fountain with 13 “jump jets” which shoot water 40 feet high, and 39 smaller “pop jets,” art work, canopies, flowering plants, and more.

The square contributes to a revitalized retail atmosphere and provides a relaxing and social space to the changing downtown environment.   Central Houston raised most of the funding for this $8.9 million project from private donations.

 

Central Houston continues work to enhance Main Street Square with additional enhancements.
