Popular Post Houston19514 Posted January 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2022 Very interesting. Brass Jar Productions is a New York production company that produces standing productions in New York and Chicago of "Drunk Shakespeare" and other shows. Are they expanding to Houston? 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I am a bit disappointed that this continues to get leased up compared to the more interesting spaces around. what I really want is the tower to start construction. Someone mentioned Hines is involved - is that true? I thought this was completely unrelated to Hines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 So they must be taking the two suites that face Travis, right? The ground does slope down to go to the lower level and extends pretty far back. Not sure what the space looks like inside. Couldn't find a leasing brochure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, last I checked the owner of this block was suing Hines for cutting off tunnel access during construction of Texas Tower. I hope Hines makes them a nice offer for this lot in the next few years, they've had almost a decade to do something here and have only managed a parking garage. Five other downtown office towers have either been built or broken ground since they've been trying to build this thing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linbeck family owns this property, and they have no relationship to any Hines entity. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSirDingle Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Wonder if they're ever going to get that tower built. This lot is kind of the odd one out in the area now, especially since you have a bunch of high end residential and office towers directly next to it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Interesting. Curious how this plays out. I actually know Kevin Barden of RiversBarden as an acquaintance, cool guy. Looking forward to what is presented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very ugly Chronicle garage was knocked down and nearby a less hideous but still ugly garage took its place. Improvement of sorts. Just hope you all are correct and a building is placed there and the garage appearance is ameliorated somehow. It will then look more complete and more pleasing.

HNathoo Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Maybe it's a roof top theatre? Can't imagine a 3k sq ft theatre unless that area was only for amenities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a ground-floor retail space available on the Travis side of the parking garage.

This is part of One Market Square at 800 Preston St, @editor. There are close to 15 posts about the ground floor unit at 412 Travis in the topic about One Market Square. It will become home to Emerald Theatre from Brass Jar Productions in New York City. Maybe mods will consider merging this with the ongoing topic about One Market Square. https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/27885-one-market-square-proposed-office-tower-for-block-43 Here are the posts, Editor, though it would have been helpful if some of the posters typed out the address and theater in addition to the screenshots with the information. Typing out important details like that makes it easy to find in the search. On 1/6/2022 at 10:47 AM, Amlaham said: A theatre is going in, kind of confused .

Brass Jar Productions is a New York production company that produces standing productions in New York and Chicago of "Drunk Shakespeare" and other shows. Are they expanding to Houston? Drunk Shakespeare opened this week at the Emerald Theatre. The theater is located at 412 Travis St in One Market Square. There were casting calls for the Houston production of Drunk Shakespeare last fall. The listing noted the following about the Emerald Theatre: "The company (Brass Jar Productions) operates in the heart of Downtown Houston in a new performance venue, “The Emerald Theatre,” featuring a hidden library speakeasy installation." "Rehearsals will begin in early December and incoming cast members will begin performances in mid-January." https://www.playbill.com/job/now-casting-drunk-shakespeare-houston-tx/4d258401-005e-47dd-8a94-b2c41db6eae6 https://castingcallshouston.com/public/project/1478 (Google cache) 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
