    Houston's Ion District is set to expand with the addition of a nearly 200,000-square-foot research and technology facility, The Arc at the Ion District.

    Rice Real Estate Company and Lincoln Property Company are expected to break ground on the state-of-the-art facility in Q2 2026 with a completion target set for Q1 2028, according to a news release.

    Rice University, the new facility's lead tenant, will occupy almost 30,000 square feet of office and lab space in The Arc, which will share a plaza with the Ion and is intended to "extend the district’s success as a hub for innovative ideas and collaboration." Rice research at The Arc will focus on energy, artificial intelligence, data science, robotics and computational engineering, according to the release.

    “The Arc will offer Rice the opportunity to deepen its commitment to fostering world-changing innovation by bringing our leading minds and breakthrough discoveries into direct engagement with Houston’s thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem,” Rice president Reginald DesRoches said. “Working side by side with industry experts and actual end users at the Ion District uniquely positions our faculty and students to form partnerships and collaborations that might not be possible elsewhere.”

    Developers of the project are targeting LEED Gold certification by incorporating smart building automation and energy-saving features into The Arc's design. Tenants will have the opportunity to lease flexible floor plans ranging from 28,000 to 31,000 square feet with 15-foot-high ceilings. The property will also feature a gym, an amenity lounge, conference and meeting spaces, outdoor plazas, underground parking, and new restaurants to join the campus' existing tenants, Late August, The Lymbar, and Second Draught.

    Preleasing has begun for organizations interested in joining Rice in the building.

    “The Arc at the Ion District will be more than a building — it will be a catalyst for the partnerships, innovations and discoveries that will define Houston’s future in science and technology,” Ken Jett, president of Rice Real Estate Company, said. “By expanding our urban innovation ecosystem, The Arc will attract leading organizations and talent to Houston, further strengthening our city’s position as a hub for scientific and entrepreneurial progress.”

    Entertainer Post Malone’s childhood home in Grapevine has gone on the market. The modest three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, at 1226 Eaton Ln., is listed for $549,900.

    “This home blends modern comfort, prime location, and a one-of-a-kind story — an exceptional opportunity in one of North Texas’ most desirable communities,” says the listing from Liz Ervin and David Ervin, both of Meyer Group Real Estate.

    Post Malone grew up in Grapevine and plays in Dallas-Fort Worth frequently.

    Built in 1987 — eight years before Malone was born — the “thoughtfully renovated” 1,685-square-foot, brick-façade home with a bright red front door offers an open-concept floor plan that features “excellent flow, abundant natural light, and a great use of space throughout,” the listing says.

    Recent upgrades include:

    • An updated primary bathroom.
    • New triple-pane, energy-efficient windows.
    • A new air-conditioning unit.
    • A new water heater.

    The listing also touts the home’s outdoor amenities and proximity to downtown Grapevine.

    “Step outside to a private backyard oasis featuring a sparkling pool and upgraded decking — perfect for entertaining or relaxing Texas-style,” the listing says. “Ideally located less than a one-mile walk to Grapevine’s sought-after Main Street, offering endless dining, shopping, and access to the nearby recreation center.”

    Malone, whose given name is Austin Richard Post, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer who’s easily recognizable thanks to his more than 70 tattoos, including 14 on his face.

    The entertainer moved to Grapevine at age nine with his father, Rich Post, and stepmother, Jodie, after the Dallas Cowboys hired his dad as assistant director of food and beverage, according to Malone’s bio on IMDb. Malone was born in 1995 in Syracuse, New York.

    In Grapevine, Malone learned to play guitar at age 12. He frequently plays gigs around Dallas-Fort Worth; he brought his BIG ASS Stadium Tour to Arlington in May 2025, he was the big act at the 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch, and then he played the Cowboys' halftime show at AT&T Stadium on Thanksgiving.

    When Malone was a senior, classmates at Grapevine High School named him “Most Likely to Be Famous,” according to IMDb and CBS News. For a 2012 class project at Grapevine High, he created a viral music video for one of his first songs, “Why Don’t You Love Me?” In the video, he rocked an ’80s vibe, complete with an animal-print head scarf and cut-off denim shorts.

    After graduating from high school in 2013, Malone enrolled at Tarrant County College but dropped out and moved to Los Angeles, where he formally launched his music career. Just two years after graduation, Malone signed a recording deal with Republic Records.

    By all accounts, Malone appreciated growing up in Grapevine. In fact, his 2024 country song “Back to Texas” pays homage to the Lone Star State:

    Ain’t found nowhere like Dallas yeah

    And I doubt I ever will it’s

    All hat, no cattle

    All belt, no buckle

    All snake, no rattle

    All honey, no suckle

    And I’ma take every last dime

    Stuffed under this mattress

    And make a Lone Star beeline

    Take my a** back to Texas
