Sanjorade Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I hear Frank Liu bought it, but the article says a young couple purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Frank Liu/one of his companies - purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNathoo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Frank Liu bought this, so I think you should expect townhomes. I've heard that the salvage yard kitty corner to this (on Dallas) is under contract, and the warehouse at 2901 Polk will be redeveloped into a self-storage property. While I'm not a big fan of townhomes, Frank builds pretty high end stuff, so it should improve the look and feel of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastdwntwn Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Seems like Liu and Lovett Commercial have purchased a lot of property here on the eastside. There's the Post Building (proposed Spouts, CVS, and Offices), Lockwood and Harrisburg, and I-45 and Cullen. I know there has been some progress on Lockwood and Harrisburg but I wonder how long its going to take for anything else to actually materialize.

Change has been here for years, just not really as noticeable. I weep for traffic in the area. But hey, like you say... progress. I suppose I should get used to the idea and embrace it.

cspwal Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Drove by it today, and the Frankel's site looked dead. The cold storage section looked like something was going on though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Ewert Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 There's an environmental sampling crew drilling out on the sidewalk on the west (Delano) side of Frankel's this morning. Not sure if it's something new or related to the bike lanes and bus stops that have been going in along Polk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
