arndthwrld82 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Where does it say they're setting up to "cash in on the affordable care act"? I seem to recall several new medical service centers being built all over the country prior to the passage of the ACA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I too believe the trend toward medical service centers began before passage of the ACA but its implementation will certainly accelerate the building of these centers.On a side note, does anyone know what is going in to the space once occupied by B&N and Pesce at the southeast corner of Kirby and Alabama?

I'm sure the baby boomer population may also play a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shopping center is the only thing lagging in this area. Although the previous renovation job on Meyerland Plaza is outmoded, I don't think many of the stores there are suffering for lack of customers. Even people who live in million dollar mansions shop at places like Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, SteinMart, etc. Anyone who wants upper-end merchandise will find plenty of options just a short drive away in the Galleria, Highland Village and adjacent shopping districts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current options are great but the center itself feels tired and the layout is built around the car. I'd also love to see more restaurants and retail fill up some of the concrete sea around it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yeah you're right, the area around this is fine, but headed west on Bissonet it starts to get into the fringes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 16 hours ago, CrockpotandGravel said: I couldn't find a rendering of the planned H-E-B Meyerland Plaza, but I can't wait to see how the design looks. Meyerland Plaza is prone to flooding, so I'm wondering why there will be first floor parking? Wouldn't it be more feasible and better in the long run (due to the area's known flooding problems) to leave the first floor has a loading area with a ramp leading to second floor parking? The grocery store could be on the second floor too or on a third floor (or both!).  From a layman's point of view, I avoid areas like Meyerland Plaza were the surface parking lot is known to flood during big and fast-moving rain storms. On the off chance I'm caught out in a torrential rain while I'm inside shopping or if I worked there, I'd feel safer knowing my car would be less likely to receive flood damage in an elevated parking structure. I think developers of retail, regular apartments, and mid-to-hi-rise residences should eliminate underground (like the Calais at Cortlandt Square in Midtown), surface, and first floor parking and focus on elevated parking with Houston's flooding in mind for future projects. Ha. Although that would be nice I'm sure the last thing developers are worried about is keeping your car dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Which is exactly correct. Cars can move. Car storage is exactly the kind of thing that should be put in flood-prone areas (if you're going to put anything there at all), rather than an actual use like housing or retail. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter1 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Retail Wrap: Meyerland Plaza gets $93 million loan for refinancing http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Meyerland-Plaza-gets-93M-loan-for-refinancing-12293372.php  A joint venture of Fidelis Realty Partners has obtained a $93 million loan to refinance Meyerland Plaza, an 860,308-square-foot retail center at the southwest corner of the West Loop South and Beechnut. JLL Capital Markets, led by Tom Fish, Jimmy Board and Molly Leinsdorf, secured the loan through John Hancock. Tenants include a J.C. Penney store, Palais Royal, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Ross Dress for Less, Marshall's, Best Buy, Chick-fil-A, Saltgrass Steakhouse and Beck's Prime. Fidelis, in partnership with BlackRock, acquired the property from Ronus Properties in 2013. The 1957 center was redeveloped by Ed Wulfe in the mid-1990s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The company’s new store inside Fidelis Realty Partners’ Meyerland Plaza isn’t expected to break ground until early 2019, per a December press release. It will replace the grocer's original Meyerland-area store that closed after Hurricane Harvey flooded the location.  https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/12/29/here-are-the-houston-area-stores-h-e-b-plans-to.html?ana=e_ae_set2&s=article_du&ed=2017-12-29&u=pbnlCxEJO%2F7olDPBaRyzWw0ec272ab&t=1514594968&j=79418071 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and his team met with the Chabad House and Levi Donin on Wednesday to review requirements for Kosher offerings, both in the kosher bakery and throughout the store.  http://realtynewsreport.com/2018/03/23/this-h-e-b-wont-flood-grocer-shows-meyerland-residents-the-plans-for-two-story-store-at-meyerland-plaza/   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLWM8609 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The Gary Herod memorial tree at Meyerland Plaza was cut down. An arborist determined the tree was in decline and was going to die. There were also worries that the tree and plaque would be damaged in the construction of the new HEB. The plaque has been moved to Herod Elem., the tree was given to the Woodworkers Club of Houston which will use the wood for souvenirs including possibly a cane for Herod's wife, or a memorial bench at a proposed new park dedicated to Herod on Brays Bayou. Additionally, some seedlings were given to the Herod Family. The new park will be closer to the original crash site.  https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Texas-Air-National-Guard-jet-crash-memorial-tree-13090100.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 H-E-B is taking up all that space!? I thought they were just taking up that corner where the bank was. Much larger than I expected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucesw Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I believe it was announced the store will be 90,000 sq. ft. That's significantly bigger than the new Bellaire Market or the Montrose Market which are both bigger than the Buffalo Speedway store. I think that will include space for a new bank facility, though.  HEB's competition in the wine dept is Belden's on N. Braeswood @ Chimney Rock which is known for catering to the Jewish community and also for a big wine department. A few years ago a feature, in the Press?, said it was one of the largest wine departments at any grocery store in the city. I think both CM and the HEB Montrose stores are bigger but I haven't counted or measured.
