  5. More on Academic Business Project, the collaborative program between University of Houston Hilton College Graduate Program and Mighty Equities's forthcoming hotel possibly named Gossamer. The hotel is planned for 704 Hyde Park Blvd. The information below is included in material submitted to the Planning Commission. The developers have already partnered with the University of Houston Hilton College to create the sole academic business project for the Global Hospitality Business graduate program. This will provide University of Houston Graduates with crucial experience in the hospitality industry. It is also the goal for the staff to have access to benefits and resources such as onsite daycare. The proposed hotel will act as a resource and hub for the neighborhood and community and the developers are researching neighborhood memberships for the amenities for the proposed hotel.
  6. Based on the phrasing in the submitted document to the Planning Commission, my assumption is the name of the proposed Hyde Park Hotel at 704 Hyde Park Blvd is Gossamer. I included a screenshot of the document below. https://plattracker.houstontx.gov/edrc/RevDocDefault.aspx?AppID=0&UserID=0&UserRole=0&CycleDocPath=2024\2024-02_FinalAgenda.pdf Appendix I: University of Houston Hilton College Graduate Program Preliminary Scope Statement Business problem or opportunity description: The primary objective of the Academic Business Project with The Mighty Equities is centered on the research of applications of the strategic direction for demand forecasting and operational strategies in the local luxury boutique hotel industry. In an attempt to create values of the boutique hotel "Gossamer" in Houston, challenges exist. Market, business environment, customers and competitors, and resources and organizational structure and operational characteristics are different, so that it is more than important to find the way to secure unique, one-of-a-kind, luxury, and differentiated value that can be shared by multiple stakeholders in a sustainable manner. For the business feasibility, this project ultimately encompass key competitive advantages of Gossamer. Market analysis and demand forecasting for (1) sales and revenue forecasting and (2) differentiated operational strategies will be included to secure competitive advantages. To create value that can be shared, understanding and comprehending local market is paramount. To correctly suggest strategic plan for the new boutique hotel, this project will include market feasibility, demand and sales forecasting, dynamic capabilities and flexibility analysis. With economic impacts and sales forecasting in a given market, business feasibility can be highlighted and opportunity seeking can be highly supported. On top of it, multiple operational strategic suggestion can be provided based on the results of a series of analyses in this project. Based on huge success on this project, further topics will be explored as a continuous collaboration with the Mighty Equities.
  7. What a great find, @hindesky. Thanks for posting. @Urbannizer @Triton or other mods, 2500 Summer St is part of the Sawyer Yards campus. Hopefully, you all will consider merging this with the existing topic for Sawyer Yards where other businesses at the same address are discussed there: https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/31131-sawyer-yards-developments/
  8. Based on documentation submitted to the Planning Commission, it seems the name of the proposed Hyde Park Blvd Hotel may be Gossamer. The name is referenced in the Academic Business Project's preliminary scope statement. Academic Business Project is a collaborative program between University of Houston Hilton College Graduate Program and Mighty Equities. The possibly named Gossamer Hotel is planned for 704 Hyde Park Blvd.
  9. In addition to the proposed parking garage on the 807 Fairview Ave and 2406 Crocker St parcels, there will be additional parking nearby. According to a letter included in documents submitted to the Planning Commission, parking will also be available on the 2310 Stanford St parcel. The parking garage and additional parking is for the proposed hotel planned for 704 Hyde Park Blvd. Below is text from the submitted letter: The Planning and Development Department has previously approved the proposed Hyde Park hotel located at Hyde Park Blvd and Stanford Street. The Planning Commission gave its approval of the hotel site plan last summer in 2023 for a 52-room boutique hotel, which included an accompanying bar with exhibit space for small conventions. After approval by the City Planning Commission and after reviewing comments from the city as well as residents in the area about reducing traffic, the exhibit space was deleted from the design and replaced with additional hotel rooms, which now total 80-room hotels. This change allows for less traffic without two exhibit spaces and helped reduce building size as well. The Staff requested we reach out to the previous residents to let them know about these adjustments. Since the variance approval we have acquired more land to build a parking garage and additional parking for the hotel as well as providing parking to the public. There are no variances for parking; in fact, the new 80-room hotel will exceed the minimum parking requirements and will provide 111 parking spaces. No changes were made on previously approved setbacks or ROW dedication; these variances have been approved and are not changing. All boxes to the left are owned wholly by Mighty Equities, providing more parking than city required. The parking garage will also provide additional parking for the public not going to the hotel.

  15. The restaurant and lounge leasing the building at 5701 Washington Ave is Rain. I don't know much about Rain. There is a website and Instagram for the restaurant.

  17. Bunslut, a local hamburger food truck-turned-restaurant, is leasing a unit at 515 Westheimer Rd. I am not certain which unit Bunslut will occupy. Also, I don't know when it aims to open. It's likely whichever space the restaurant is leasing will undergo some remodeling.

  19. LoopNet listing for 515 Westheimer Rd is linked below. According to the listing, it was published this month; however, it's no longer advertised on the the site. I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. The listing, along with the leasing brochure, appears outdated. The photos included in the brochure aren't current. There is a site plan attached. I'm also unsure if it's the most recent one. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/515-Westheimer-Rd-Houston-TX/27548604/ https://images1.loopnet.com/d2/Kz7jZbWJ1dWkCE375GrWJUK6JKvQEcpDNlji9Q9MTLs/515 Westheimer FINAL.pdf

  24. Included in this week's real estate roundup on BisNow is the sale of 3033 South Loop W / 3033 S Loop W. The property was the longtime site of buffet restaurant chain Golden Corral. Additional details from the article: Marcus & Millichap announced the sale of a 1.26-acre retail pad site facing 610 West Frontage Road at 3033 S. Loop 610 W in Houston. The 55K SF retail pad site was formerly home to a Golden Corral, which was razed after the building caught fire. Gus Lagos and Alex Wolansky of Marcus & Millichap exclusively represented the seller, an out-of-state private investor, and procured the buyer, a local private investor. The undisclosed buyer has plans to develop the site for retail use. https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/deal-sheet/this-weeks-houston-deal-sheet-btr-community-opens-south-of-houston-122478 A warranty deed for 3033 South Loop West was recorded to the county's database last week. According to the document, Avenue Ventures, LLC acquired the land. The entity is tied to Mohsin Momin. Momin owns / or is a franchisee of several Izzi Market convenience stores and other convenience markters in the Houston area. The stores are companion retail to gas stations in the city, mostly Chevron, Shell, and Exxon. Based on an architectural barriers project filing in November, which Hindsky posted above, an Izzi Market is planned for the site.
