Houston International Promenade - 2300 Polk St.
Sanjorade replied to hindesky's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
I believe the old MT trading building has some work happening. There’s a dumpster outside and saw some workers there last week. Still shown as for lease … so who knows? -
Kim Hung Market 1005 St. Emanuel St.
Sanjorade replied to CrockpotandGravel's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Based on this they plan to build the garage facing st Emanuel, which is fine but hopefully there is something on that side as well other than just garage … Doesn’t appear to be based on the renderings, but maybe they’ll alter the plans Looks like all the concepts are currently facing Hutchins?- 47 replies

Guessing this will be developed. They own the dirt I believe, which has to be more valuable than the operation at this point.

These types of installations are for all ages and imo are pretty cool. There’s one in Tokyo that has many interactive experiences and definitely worth the price of admission.

Hmm, wouldn’t Sugar Land be more of a McMansion than multifamily?

This is definitely more in line w what Rice wants than what the startup ecosystem needs. IMO this will just lead to same status quo/laggard mentality that is synonymous with Houston in general. The Rice and UH students won’t get a real taste of the startup ecosystem and thus will never be on the same level as those from, let’s say, Stanford. For a real startup ecosystem to emerge and get into orbit, bootstrapped big vision companies will have to want start and stay here. It likely won’t happen. The Ion District is going to turn into a shinier, more expensive version of what’s come before. It really is a pity. There’s so much potential here.

It’s unfortunate for the startup community. We all got hyped about what was being proposed, just to be disappointed by the lack of real vision. VC money typically doesn’t flow to Houston, simply because people don’t have the right mentality/strategy to building world changing tech. There are a few companies that are success stories, but there could be many more with the right leadership and resources. I’m building my company in Houston, but spent many years learning how to do so from people elsewhere. Shiny new buildings rarely yield successful startups. Again, the Ion district is just a real estate play under the guise of being a place for innovation.

My apologies. They had two separate leadership teams. IMO, these orgs were more interested in touting the big name leases they signed. No one on the leadership team of the Ion had ever built a startup. One example of a disconnect is attempting to charge a freshly launched, bootstrapped startup to host a launch party on premise. Early stage startups barely have the funds to stay afloat and are trying to break through. The founder opted for another venue that didn’t charge and actually contributed to the very successful launch party. The whole thing just seems very forced, as is typical with academia and government.

Apparently the entire leadership team of The Ion and Greentown Labs were let go last week. Guessing they weren’t able to attract enough renters. As a startup guy, The Ion is a nice idea but doesn’t actually deliver what most early stage companies need. There’s a major disconnect between the stakeholders and startup founders. Will be interesting to see what comes next …

Sports Creek - 2619 Polk St.
Sanjorade replied to Sanjorade's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Doesn't seem like it. Maybe once the land sells it will be developed into apartments or something. -

Really interested in what will happen at 2315 Polk. This is right across from 8th Wonder on the Promenade.

With the amount of development, both commercial and residential happening in EaDo and the Greater East End, a grocery store is all but necessary. I can only imagine there are discussions happening as I type.

Houston has affordability and thus the ability for many people to do more than just dream. East River is turning into a great dev and EaDo in general is coming of age. Downtown will also continue to grow little by little, and that's okay. It's come a long way in 15 years and will be completely different in another 15. As an entrepreneur, Houston allows me to live comfortably while I build my company. I get to do more than just dream :)

Any idea if anything will replace warehouse live in eado? Quite a big space to fill.
