After nearly six years of sitting dormant, construction has resumed on the Bluebonnet Palms Office Park, on Bluebonnet Boulevard at Jefferson Highway. Earlier this month, work crews began framing the 4,000-square-foot building that, when completed later this year, will become home to a downtown law firm. Groundbreaking is also expected in the next two weeks on a second 4,000-square-foot building that is currently under contract and will eventually house a physician's office, according to Chris Pike of Mike Falgoust & Associates Commercial Real Estate. The office park, which already has one office building on its site, was developed in 2006 by Victor Dagash but only partially completed, and was later foreclosed on by its lender, S. Bettis Properties. Bettis is now working with Pike and a team that includes Dantin Bruce Construction and Ritter Maher Architects to complete the project. "For six years they haven't been able to do anything with this," says Pike. "They couldn't even cut the grass. So to have construction under way again and to have something happening in the office market is really exciting." —Stephanie Riegel
