The southern area of Downtown is considered an exciting emerging neighborhood with nine new residential properties open, under construction or in the planning stages. In addition, Houston’s first hospital, St. Joseph Medical Center (founded in 1887), offers an extensive list of medical and surgical services in multiple health areas.  Southern Downtown is also home to the stunning Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral campus.
