lockmat Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Seems like it'll be a neat little place: From the October 28, 2010 Planning Commission Agenda Quote This project involves the rehab of two circa-1940's buildings according to LEED standards. The project is a mixed-use development (3 apartments, a commercial lease space, and a restaurant, called FM 2711), a transit oriented development on the Harrisburg rail line, in walking distance from train stations serving two lines, and adjacent to a bust stop. The restaurant is is envisioned as a neighborhood meeting place, to serve the long-standing residents of the East End, residents of the new residential developments in walking distance of our location, and employees of nearby businesses such as Centerpoint across the street. As a green development, and a restaurant with a farm-to-market focus (the inspiration for our name), we will both encourage and incentivize customers who use mass transit (we already met with Metro about a discount similar to their collaboration with Main Street businesses), bicycles and customers who walk.

LTAWACS Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Looks neat. I wonder where on the harrisburg rail line this will sit. I don't remember seeing a centerpoint office on harrisburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) I would assume the address will be 2711 Harrisburg, going to Google maps the building at that location kind of fits the dimensions of the renderings. Google maps doesn't indicate a Centerpoint office, but Google maps has been wrong before.edit: in fact, going to the street view, I'm positive this will be the building...http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=2711+Harrisburg+Boulevard,+Houston,+TX&sll=29.729543,-95.327272&sspn=0.013546,0.01929&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=2711+Harrisburg+Blvd,+Houston,+Harris,+Texas+77003&ll=29.752566,-95.346447&spn=0.000846,0.001206&t=h&z=20&layer=c&cbll=29.752637,-95.34658&panoid=cNRWWbhVf-SjJw133aohQA&cbp=12,65.24,,1,-4.82 Edited November 3, 2010 by samagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I make the left turn from Harrisburg onto Delano every day on my way home from work. The location of the driveway on Delano is going to be an issue—it’s literally right next to the Harrisburg/Delano intersection. I can just picture someone leaving that drive and trying to cut over to Harrisburg across a car (with the right of way) turning left onto Delano.  I like the overall idea of developing this site, and the renderings look good, but they really need to rethink the location of that driveway (to the extent they can). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Not a Robot Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 With Yoga in mind for the developer. I would love to see Black Swan make their way over to the East Side. They offer pay $10 or more as a "donation" when you go to a class and provide people an opportunity to practice Yoga without a huge commitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaDolivin Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 So I was curious about this property and googled the address. There *used to be* an old two story building that matches the exterior/shape of the drawing above. Here's an old apartments dot come post for it: https://www.apartments.com/2711-harrisburg-blvd-houston-tx/g2tmkjw/ Also on google maps street view you can see it there as recently as May 2011. It was demolished some time after that. That's too bad. It would have been a nice spot to have a restaurant/retail location. Instead it's been a parking lot for 10+ years. Hopefully that will change soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to cross the rail tracks and Harrisburg a bridge is needed. There are no imminent plans to do so, but it is something to be considered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JClark54 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Thanks, what I assumed. Would be an amazing addition to the area. Near the proposed Ennis METRORail stop and would go a long way to connecting the Columbia Tap with the Harrisburg Trail, if plans to extend the Harrisburg Trail ever take off.  Edited April 25, 2023 by JClark54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) On 4/27/2023 at 7:19 PM, hindesky said: Regarding the proposed courtyard and outdoor seating for 2711 Harrisburg Blvd, included below is more information. The details are from the statement of facts submitted with the off-street parking variance request: We are looking for a variance reduction from 52 spaces to 15 spaces for a restaurant tenant. The purpose is to preserve the current natural, unpaved north courtyard for outdoor dining, and provide additional new green space in the form of a mini park adjacent the proposed East pedestrian entry from Delano St. We feel its justified by the proximity of the light rain green line on Harrisburg and pedestrian walk-ups from nearby EaDo residential developments.
