bobruss Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It just goes to show you there are solutions to parking garages and podiums. All it takes is a developer or owner who cares and an architect who knows what he's doing! Sure it cost more money but you get what you pay for and when it comes to our downtown we should demand better. Good job Lyric center for showing others the way. Hey Houston Central, Downtown District and Houston First, TAKE NOTICE! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 So is the intent of this garage to double up as parking for employees by day and diners by night? Why don't residential towers do this (have extra parking for non-residents/shoppers)? To me, and clearly I'm not a savvy developer, but it could give more justification to include GFR if they wanted to add it, essentially increasing the amount of potential customers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The lighting looks even better in person than it does in the photos. It's really turned out well - now if we can just somehow persuade the owners of the Giant Blank Wall O' Concrete (the new garage on Milam at Franklin) to do something like it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Giant Blank Wall O'Concrete building also tried to add to the two non blank sides by putting up metal trellises for vines, then never planted vines. It will always amaze me that somebody in our planning department saw the blank walls and said, "Yep, looks great!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drecey Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Noticed the beautiful blue lighting from 45! It really adds something special to the downtown skyline. Market Square Tower picks up the reflection of the building. I'm loving it. Drove down to see it in person and I'm amazed. Love the transformation of DTHTX these past 10 years.

Nate99 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) This seems like a relatively new model, at least for around here where there have historically been relatively cheap places to set up your own shop. There probably aren't enough local chefs licensed to drive concepts anyway, given the head start the other halls have.

TheSirDingle Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Laura Gillespie of HBJ reported that Lyric market, an upcoming food hall in Downtown Houston, has split ways with its previous vendor (Clark Cooper Concepts). They're now partnered with Colicchio Consulting. Also "Houston-based Capital Reality Group has leased about 70 percent of the square footage of the space to roughly 10 or 12 tenants so far" as stated by the article.

LBC2HTX Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah this spot is way behind schedule, but that’s probably okay given that there’s a lot of buzz around Finn Hall at the moment, plus the soon to open Bravery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBJ Article: https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/05/10/upcoming-downtown-houston-food-hall-splits-with.html Actually, Eater Houston first reported the split between Lyric Market and Clark Cooper Concepts. I alerted Eater Houston to the change in food curators change two weeks ago. They didn't report on it right away, though I provided proof. Instead Eater waited for a response from Lyric Market's publicist, who is also the publicist for Clark Cooper Concepts. Once confirmed by the publicists, Eater wrote a blurb on it. My guess is Houston Business Journal saw the blurb and reached out for more details or because Eater asked about the split, the publicist drafted a press release and sent it to other publications. Most of Houston Business Journal's content are press releases or news reproduced from local publishers without their permission (Houston Chronicle, CultureMap, PaperCity, and Eater Houston) so they'll have content. This is the blurb from Eater a day before Houston Business Journal. "Lyric Market, the sprawling new food hall coming to the city’s Theatre District, is no longer working with Clark Cooper Concepts, the Houston restaurant group tapped to help pick out the market’s tenants. Lyric Market’s press reps said in a statement: Lyric Market, the multi-concept culinary destination in Houston’s Theater District, has parted ways with local restaurant group Clark Cooper Concept. With more than 20 “best in class” food and retail vendors from all over the world, Owner Jonathan Enav, president and CEO of Houston-based US Property Management, has partnered with nationally acclaimed Colicchio Consulting. Their expertise in food hall consulting across the country will provide unparalleled direction and support for LyricMarket and its vendors. We are very excited to be working with them to offer Houstonians a diverse culinary marketplace and immersive destination." https://houston.eater.com/2019/5/10/18543481/lyric-market-clark-cooper-concepts Edited May 16, 2019 by IntheKnowHouston 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last of the 4 new food halls to open, it's crazy how many new restaurants/bars have appeared in the last few months.
