Downtown Skyline with Memorial Drive

A world-class metropolis, Houston stands tall as the fourth most populous city in the country and the largest in Texas and the entire southern region. Known for being home to strong business and cultural communities, Downtown Houston is the city’s central business district where many prominent companies have installed their headquarters. Moreover, the downtown area features a stunning collection of historic and modern skyscrapers that make up one of the largest skylines in the United States, blending iconic architecture with thoughtful urban planning and green spaces and echoing the hardworking energy and innovation of those who call Houston home. Memorial Drive is the only major road in Memorial Park and the only road that traverses the entire park. Memorial Drive was originally intended to be one of ten freeway spokes extending outward from Downtown Houston. Memorial Drive was named in the memory of the men who served in Camp Logan, which was a World War I-era army training camp.
