Once the hub of Houston's U.S. mail system, the 1930's era Post Office fell into a state of abandonment and neglect. That changed when efforts surged to transform this 16-acre site into a mixed-use complex topped with a 5-acre vegetated/amenity roof.

POST HTX highlights the sustainability of adaptive reuse projects and the solutions that American Hydrotech has to offer in order to transform a roof into an urban park with a 1-acre urban farm, the largest in Texas!

The Garden Roof and Ultimate Assembly protecting this roof also provide an ability to reduce stormwater runoff, combat the urban heat-island effect, and create acres of habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. The entire building has seen a truly remarkable transformation and we are proud to be a small part of it.
