skooljunkie Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 If the developer wants/needs more to go on this 21-acre site than just a few mid- to large big box stores, stacking in some form seems logical especially if there is a multifamily or other component planned. Just to compare--property acreage of nearby large retail:Targets - 9.2, 13.5, 9.3 acres; Wal-Marts - 15.9, 16.0 acres; Home Depots - 10.5, 9.6; Lowes - 12.7, 12.5; Academy - 5.1Kohls - 4.2Costco/LA Fitness stack - 13.6REI/Academy/Michaels/Petco/DSW mix at Voss/Westheimer - 18.2Sam's Club - 15.8, 14.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arisegundo Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 http://www.landandfarm.com/property/Oliver_Street_Property-1583824/ This 2.75 acre site sits between Tarkett and Target, and is catty corner from the missing segment of Summer that would connect the two areas. A connector road between the south side of Target and the north side of Kroger would go through this plot. It'd be a great spot for residential.

Urbannizer Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The urbanization of retail will continue to gain momentum in Houston in the form of mixed-use projects, according to Streetwise Retail Advisors managing partner Ed Page. That’ll mean a lot of residential over retail projects. In addition, two vertical power centers—a concept that has never been done in this market—are in pre-development in Midtown and the Washington Avenue/Heights area.Read more at: https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/commercial-real-estate/from-co-working-to-huge-midtown-pricing-8-experts-2016-predictions-54187?rt=3891?utm_source=CopyShare&utm_medium=Browser 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arisegundo Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 https://www.flickr.com/photos/beyonddc/5073722055 We can dream. But the expanse of the Tarkett plot seems incongruous with such a multi-level center, which was plopped onto 5.5 acres in a very dense part of DC (and right next to a subway station). You could fit four of those into Tarkett if you forgo the typical Houston salt flat of parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could fit four of those into Tarkett if you forgo the typical Houston salt flat of parking. I don't live to far from this DCUSA. It's three levels and there is a parking garage. On the first level is Modell's, Marshalls, and Payless. On the second floor is Target, Best Buy, and Bed Bath and Beyond. On the third level is a Washington Sport's Club. Right across the street are apartments to the left and across the street and there is more retail on the first floor of both apartment buildings. There's many more retail stores in this area right under the the Target like a Ihop, Chick-Fil-A, etc. It's an extremely popular area of DC and it is always packed. Just a mere 3 minute walk is a little square in front of another apartment with retail on the bottom. Across the street from the apartment is Giant grocery store.

Triton Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Dumb name change. Although it may be more accurate in location, it almost sounds like it's a tier below the surrounding retail. We're "lower" than the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 In the (greater) Heights? I'd say there's a distinct lack of movie theaters. But then, I also prefer theaters with a full bar which kinda precludes driving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mab Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Quote Patrick Egan with Gulf Coast Commercial said the plan for a vertical retail development at the former Tarkett site off Interstate 10 near the Heights is still what they are working toward but because of the complexity of the development the plans are taking time. “A vertically integrated shopping center would fit well with the area,” said Egan. “It’s probably not something we would do in a suburban development.” He estimates final plans by the late third quarter with a 16 to 18 month delivery time frame. No tenant news but Egan did say that parking is planned to be out front of the stores to give a long line of sight and for safety purposes. 1 http://theleadernews.com/tacos-a-go-go-still-a-go-first-tenant-at-yale-development-july-business-briefs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site is so massive it's impressive they are even considering a two story retail development. I think people need to still keep expectations for this site low though even with a double decker retail complex.... this will still be Katyville-like. Do you guys really expect anything different from Gulf Coast Commercial? I think a lot of people still need to lower their expectations for this site. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
