TheNiche Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 There's a "For Sale" sign on Macy's warehouse property on Lockwood -- just saw it for the first time as I drove past this evening.Signs were posted in front of the Macy's outlet store, but I didn't see any in front of any portion of the distribution center. The listing isn't up on the CBRE website yet, unfortunately. Can anyone confirm just how much is being listed for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I would have liked to walk through that old Foley's storage warehouse before it was sold to Macy's. Wonder what's going to happen to it, now. And is it the warehouse only, or is the warehouse and the distribution center for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what's going to happen to it, now. And is it the warehouse only, or is the warehouse and the distribution center for sale?It does make me wonder what the potential for that location would be, though. I mean, we're talking about HUGE tracts of land, that is (hopefully) at the terminus of one of the rail lines.In the immediate area is a little league field, Stephen F. Austin, and some light residential in the form of single family homes and small apartment complexes and a single Valero (shamrock?) station.It's my hope that the the line gets built, as that would spur a bit more dense development.If that happens, maybe they can extend the line up lockwood to the Denver Harbor TC.Yeah..whatever. I can dream, can't I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I wonder if Walmart considered this location.......I wonder as well.Personally, if it were me building a walmart supercenter, I'd go with the wayside location, it's closer to other retail, and has easier access to and from the freeway. Or at least the access isn't as confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Was just thinking, and I seriously doubt something like this would happen, but I'd like to see a movie theater like Edwards grand palace open here. Anyway, it would not happen, but would be cool to have a nice theater in walking distance of my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) I think the access issues will definitely limit the marketability of the property. Question: Did this building predate the maze of feeder roads around it? I have a feeling it did.I'm sure it did. I was just reading the history about the Foley's downtown store in a Cite article. It mentioned the elaborate details of the store, one being the package delivery system associated with the Downtown location. They also brought up the warehouse, just outside of downtown. If you look at old maps and aerial maps a lot, you can see how the freeway system chopped up eveything. It bulldozed and cut up whole neighborhoods. The building is actually pretty large. Once again, are both bldgs. being sold, or just the warehouse, not the showroom? Edited February 28, 2011 by NenaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 All Macy's signs have been removed, not sure if they did that recently or not, but I just noticed it this weekend. For sale signs are still up though, so I guess they haven't actually sold the place yet.If they ever make the University line, this would be a good place for Metro to make a vehicle repair depot, or whatever they call it, but they'd probably do that out on the west side terminus.

samagon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 There's some demo equipment that was being removed from a flatbed onto the site around lunch today. Â Anyone know what's going on out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 part of the wall is down, you can see lots of storage space inside. Â Still not sure what's going on there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 This building (at least the large storage warehouse in the back) is being demolished. Â Any knowledge of what is happening here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 On 7/23/2018 at 3:23 PM, samagon said: Still not sure what's going on there though.  Are you referring to the 4500 Gulf Fwy site, between Ernestine and S Lockwood, or the much larger warehouse complex northwest of Ernestine? I haven’t been by there recently, so I’m not sure which one has work being done.  If it’s 4500 Gulf Fwy, I believe that’s a Lovett Commercial development:  https://www.lovettcommercial.com/properties/houston/4500-gulf-fwy  Their site plan shows all sorts of suburban retail mainstays (a Palais Royal?! How exciting! /s), but knowing them they haven’t inked a deal with any of these retailers. . . which I guess is a good thing.  If it’s the other, I’m not sure.

samagon Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 yes, 4500 gulf freeway. Between Lockwood and Ernestine, just north of 45. Â the entire warehouse is gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 the very back warehouse is completely gone, and they have been moving the dirt around in the space since it has been gone. Â they just (like this weekend) put up a green fence around the perimeter of the front parking lot and retail area. I turned on Munger, so I don't know how far the fence extends. this fence may have been put in place to keep people from using it as parking for the Metro Transit Center. anyone know what's going on?

samagon Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 the showroom is being demo'd now. Â the area that was the warehouse that was demo'd previously is now becoming parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
