Avossos Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 1 hour ago, swishafisha said: What is the address of the warehouse you are referencing? 54 minutes ago, Ross said: 501 N Shepherd It will be interesting what happens to the other warehouses in the vicinity... I can see this area take off with more multifamily in addition to a MKT campus expansion. I love that people in the area can walk to restaurants or make a pit stop there. This development is catering to the traditional consumer as well as the more pedestrian oriented consumer. A perfect blend for Houston as the emphasis seems to be refocusing around walkable places. I admit I still drive many places. Though, my spouse works here and enjoys being able to bike to work (thankfully without going on any major streets). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post emmanume Posted February 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Great to hear about 501 N Shepherd Dr. Would love to see a link or any plans for redevelopment. I guess 2025 is not that far off and right on time for the redevelopment of the entire Shepherd/Durham corridor. I ride by this warehouse often and think it would be excellent space for more development. On a similar note, and this have been mentioned here before, I know M-K-T will expand eastward too. Triten calls it "Swift", and they will redevelop the warehouses on 621 Waverly St. They were built in 1909 and formerly served as meat packing and distribution facility as Freedmen Distributors. Hoping for some industrial lofts on the 4-5-story building and maybe a small grocer. Once these are complete, this will create a semi-contiguous 1.5 mile stretch of pedestrian/bike oriented activity here that will be a new crown jewel for the Heights and the city. Now if they can go ahead and build pedestrian/bike bridge across Patterson and/or Rutland then we will be in business. If anybody has any links or intel on more specific plans for either 501 N Shepherd or 621 Waverly, I know most everyone here would love to see.

My evil side says that the solution to the encroachment is to use a 60 foot diameter saw, and remove the offending portion of the building, preferably without notice. I recall that some developer in Majorca built a taller than allowed building in the airport flight path, and was shocked to find, once construction was complete, that the government sent over a bunch of equipment and demolished the building. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Berg Hospitality has at least six coming down the pipeline soon. In addition to Buttermilk Baby, Annabelle's, and Turner's Cut, there are at least three more in planning. One restaurant is Tavola at Blvd Place. The restaurant is in partnership with the Bastion Collection. Another restaurant is slated for the Docks at Timbergrove. And one more is slated for 1818 Washington Ave: On 5/21/2021 at 7:26 AM, IntheKnowHouston said: Punch Bowl is no longer coming to 1818 Washington. Lovett is splitting the two story unit into several units. One of the tenants to sign on is Berg Hospitality. The group led by Benjamin Berg operates B&B Butchers next door. Berg Hospitality applied for a TABC permit listing a restaurant named Benny Chow at 1818 Washington Ave. I have no clue about the concept or an opening timeframe.

One can also walk along the west side of N Shepherd Dr from MKT trail to that plaza, only to cross some driveways. There will also be a trail extension to the Kroger plaza from MKT trail, aligning Durham Dr. All of the new businesses along the trail are great, but they are usually too expensive.
