How in the world can Beck's Prime sell enough burgers and prime rib to cover the increasing cost of that land? I have to imagine they are sitting and waiting it out until the price is right (ala Bed Bath and Beyond next door). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 1/21/2020 at 3:28 PM, LBC2HTX said: To be fair, JP Morgan Chase owns the corner portion of the intersection so BB&B property would be analogous to Novel River Oaks and Cadence bank on Westheimer/Willowick. The intersection will really take off once HEB is complete. The Beck's Prime lot is a little over a quarter acre and has been appraised at $1.19 million from 2016 - 2019 on HCAD. Taxes in 2019 were $30,500, which isn't that bad. The property has been owned, as far as I can tell, by the same family since at least 1963, so they may be happy with the rent they get, and don't need the cash from selling or redeveloping. Beck's Prime built there in 1985, their first location. No clue what was there before then.

Twinsanity02 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Is this a 38 or 39 stories? I saw 13 missing. I know about the superstition surrounding the number 13. Is this common in many buildings. I guess I never paid attention. Nevermind. Just saw the "PH". Can't imagine that refers to hydrogen cation concentration, so it must be "Penthouse".

ChannelTwoNews Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'm going to be back in town next week and am thinking of taking photos around the area as I've done in the past. Does anyone know if this vantage point is still a good one or is there work underway in the foreground now? It's from the Bed Bath & Beyond at W. Alabama and Kirby Drive.

Either that or I'm watching too much Ozarks on Netflix. But wow, that 40 year lease must have been astronomical to offset the potential value increase.

H-Town Man Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 On 8/11/2020 at 9:06 AM, Avossos said: Aggressive... 40 years... Very unusual for a ground lease to be extended 40 years. Most likely this is some combination of a 10-20 year lease with multiple 5-year renewal options. So Beck's has 40 years of ground control but isn't boxed in for all that time. Also, this is almost certainly a net lease so taxes would be passed through to the restaurant and not affect the land owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen on their website, Facebook and Instagram photos and videos, they advertise two terraces, the one with a pool and the other with the outdoor fitness center, both on the 9th floor if I'm not mistaken. The landing/balcony area at 11 seconds seems to be where they have placed the AC units for that part of the building. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
