Art On Navigation Blvd.
JBTX replied to TowerSpotter's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Lol, whoops. This is what I get for posting from my phone. Will correct. -

Shipping containers that will be transformed into the permanent store fronts are being installed today. I counted 5: one by Ninfas, two by the restrooms, and two by 2510A. -

Luckily there are no mountains nearby (unless you believe the Allen brothers) to carry the helicopter over. -
Proposed Townhomes On Sampson St.

Too true. -
Proposed Townhomes On Sampson St.
JBTX replied to ljchou's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
The warehouse has some companies in it. I've seen folks trucking in/out. Unsure what. That said, there is a lot of housing in the area with all the new townhome developments, Forth at Navigation, some of the older townhomes, so, may have a lot of foottraffic. The way I look at it is this: if Tout Suite and Moontower could survive before the townhome density popped off, I'm sure a food court can survive. -

No, I think this is the building next door. -
I spoke to the property management folks as they were out hustling people at the East End Farmer's Market. First move-ins will be May 15, at which point all external construction and the first three floors will be done. They expect the rest to be done June/July. In the meantime, the garage will be cleared of all remaining equipment in the next week or so, and landscaping will begin in earnest. GFR was not scrapped. They are working with a comercial realtor to start looking for tenants. The GFR will be located on Canal, right across from the current structure (where Andes Cafe once lived) and on Navigation at the corner with McAlpine. Desired tennats are the the usual: cafe, brewery, etc.

Olshan Lumber Company At 2600 Commerce St.
JBTX replied to JBTX's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Knowing COH HHA, you're probably not wrong. -
I was over at Olshan's compound off Commerce picking some stuff up and the lady there told me they had sold the property to someone, but wasn't sure to whom. Let's begin the wild speculation of who bought it! I'll go first with a wish (HEB), and a real guess (Lovett). My understanding is this is roughly the area of the Olshan property.

Art On Navigation Blvd.
JBTX replied to TowerSpotter's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
For sure. It was quite popular as a night destination pre-COVID since Critical Mass would start at Guadalupe Park. They ran a "last Friday night market" for a while and folks would stop by. Used it for major events like Astros WS games too. -
That was quick.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I found this thread, so hey, may as well resurrect it. The East End Farmers Market, which takes up residence on the Esplanade on Sundays is transitioning over to a daily market format. They appear to have received some TIRZ funding that will allow them to put in some infrastructure to support a daily market such as shipping containers modified to be shops as well as utility hookups. Based on the announcement, seems like Chocolate Wasted and the Buñuelo Lady will take up permanent residence on the Esplanade, and the rest will be artisans/shops. Announcement here: https://fb.watch/4T6M7WAv3N/ I suppose with all the new apartments and townhomes opening up, makes sense. -
East End Backyard At 1105 Sampson St.
JBTX replied to HoustonMidtown's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Go Coogs -
Looks almost exactly like Forth at Navigation.

I have two main suspicions: 1. Tech issues (I have seen them running what is clearly AV tests recently) 2. Parking issues. Regarding 2: the lot there is very soft. They only brought in a few trucks of rocks to pave it. I suspect this creates a giant mud pit after it rains. I suspect this is the primary reason for the closure as I have seen a few 18 wheelers dropping off materials recently.

Perfect. More bars in walking distance is 100% what I need. -

The latter is my guess. It's been packed since open. Guess those targeted FB ads worked.

Interesting. I've ridden and walked in that area, even on those tracks, and somehow never saw these. Time to explore more.
