mattyt36 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Are their other developments faring better? As I recall they had projects in Seattle and this in Houston. Is it more about the company or the market? I suspect the latter, which is a real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanize713 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Common bond opened a "light" concept with a limited menu and it just didn't work. In my opinion, if they had done a brasserie like downtown it would have thrived. Just look at the sushi restaurant on the Drew and Fannin corner. It has a regular crowd and is pretty busy on the weekends. The space has already been leased to an Acai bowl concept or chain. They started the remodel before Thanksgiving and it appears to be moving quickly. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think a more sandwich-oriented version of Common Bond could have done well. I went a couple of times for baguettes, but was always disappointed by the menu. But considering how well Madamoiselle Louise is doing in a fairly similar part of Downtown (some new development, some vacancy, some vagrancy), there aren't a lot of good excuses for Common Bond's failure there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't open M-W. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lease listing no longer appears on Crexi. It's also gone from Chodrow Realty Advisor's website.

The Good Berry opened in mid-January on the ground floor of Drewery Place (actually, the day before my last post above). It occupies Common Bond's former unit at 2850 Fannin St, Suite 100.

It looks like Willowick Residential is now managing the building. Hines owns Willowick Residential. Either way, with Hines in charge everything should go right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREguy13 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I'm hoping this is Hines making its first move into Midtown, with the potential to acquire the rest of Caydon's original parcels, which may include Houston's first T3 office building in the immediate block north of Drewery Place. There are very few areas in Houston for Hines to do a T3, this is right on the McGowen stop, one stop away from Mid-Main, two stops from the Ion District, right across from Midtown Park, etc. etc. I know the Office market is brutal for any new construction, but I think Midtown could support a Hines boutique Timber building with rail access. The Ion is almost full, and there's no other Class A space in the area and demand is growing for companies looking in the 'Innovation Corridor' spurred by what's going on at the Ion. Tin Foil hat is on... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutchcity94 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) At this point, is it safe to say this development was a flop? Five years ago, I remember how excited everyone was about this. Now, it’s rarely talked about. Edited August 13 by clutchcity94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREguy13 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 To date, I'd agree it has certainly been below expectations since the Kimpton + Condos never materialized. Overall though, I'm withholding final judgement until we find out if Hines is cooking up something with the two adjacent sites on the rail line. That said, Willowick Residential taking over PM services could have very well been a one-off transaction. Also, those sites were for sale a few weeks ago and are no longer listed on the Market... did they get taken off or did someone snag em? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
