On the twenty-first night of September, the Museo Institute for Medical Arts (5115 Fannin Street) – a first-of-its-kind 10-story class “AA” LEED-certified medical office building totaling 153,000 square feet – formally celebrated its completion during a lively and festive evening Grand Opening party designed to welcome project partners, tenants, friends, and neighbors to toast the structure’s exquisite architecture, striking art pieces, and multi-use event spaces.
A year-and-a-half since the significant milestone of anchor tenant Mann Eye Institute moving into its top floor perch overlooking the world-renowned Houston Museum District, Mann Eye founder and Museo visionary Dr. Mike Mann played host for the evening, mingling with guests and brimming from ear to-ear throughout the course of the night as he reflected fondly on his idea for this picturesque space becoming a tangible reality. Dr. Mann, PJMD Architects Principal Marko Dasigenis – the building’s design architect –
and the evening’s special guest, Counsel of the Hellenic Republic in Houston Lambros Kakissis welcomed event attendees and remarked upon the incredible journey that the Museo Institute for Medical Arts has taken from blueprint to building.
“This building is called the Museo Institute for Medical Arts, and it was erected to be a structure that represents a bridge between the visual arts – we’re in the Museum District – and the healing arts,” Dr. Mann noted. He added, “This is a medical building, so I wanted a facility where people would walk in and feel uplifted. This is a temple of healing, and for me personally, it is a temple of love. That is what it represents to me, my family, and everyone who worked on this facility.” Dr. Mann thanked his family and numerous project partners before turning the microphone over to Dasigenis, who spoke eloquently on the building’s meticulous details. Marko then introduced Hellenic Republic Counsel Kakissis, who closed out the remarks portion by recognizing the contribution that Museo is making as a welcome addition to the community.
Guests posed for photos in front of the first floor’s grand centerpiece – a true replica of the Winged Victory of Samothrace sculpture that resides in The Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
The next-generation Museo Institute for Medical Arts is ideally situated on the METRO Rail’s Red Line near Texas Medical Center and represents phase I of a mixed-use project inspired by the surrounding neighborhood’s dedication to art, science, and culture. Nearly 60% leased at this time, Museo houses the services of two Houston-based medical practices – Texas Laparoscopic Consultants (TLC) and Houston Cardiovascular Associates (HCVA) – in addition to the aforementioned Mann Eye Institute. TLC occupies
the ninth floor, utilizing 10,255 square feet for performing pioneering weight loss procedures and surgeries. HCVA, a prominent cardiology practice with locations in both Houston and Sugar Land, will soon open its 40,000-square-foot build-out that encompasses the majority of the eighth floor and a portion of the first floor.
