Ross Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 There are CBRE signs up at the Bethel Church at 1107 Shepherd, or the block bounded by Shepherd, Durham, Center and Nett. This might create difficulty for the restaurant formerly known as Floyd's, since they use the church parking lot for their customers.

Shepherd Dr. and Nett St. housing Bethel Church is now broadcasting plans for a mixed-use development from several large signs standing around on the property. A couple of readers reported the new decor from various angles late on Friday (including the one above, which includes a glimpse of finally settled, named, and opened FM Kitchen + Bar on the former Alva Graphics lot across the street). The church’s1.48-acre block (bounded by Durham Dr. and Center St. on the other 2 sides) hit the market last summer, and looks to be getting wrapped into the Huningtondevelopment fold. The conversion of the church property would put a mixed-use development right next to the Azure Apartments midrise currently going up right across Durham. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 To be clear, this is 1107 Shepherd. 1107 N Shepherd would be more like the Popeyes at 11th and Shepherd. In any case, at least there's now some idea of what will be going here. I assume this means the restaurant fka Floyd's/Mardi Gras/etc on Durham that used the parking lot will never reopen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Those apartments struggle to capture retail. Karate studio closed and haven't been able to lease the corner and most visible spot. Wine Bar next door shut down, Greek Pita place has been "coming soon" for months. I think there's only a Subway and ER place. Maybe it has to do with the location & visibility.

bobruss Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I can only suggest that sometimes it depends on the business that chooses the space. Look at Post properties at Bagby and West Gray. That retail has been buzzing now for over ten years with very little turnover. Of course this is in the middle of a very large concentration of residential complexes and the streets are alive with people. But that wasn't the case before Post came along so there is a way to make these types of mixed use developments work. Karate studios and Greek Pita places probably weren't the best choices for tenants. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Urbannizer Posted April 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2018 https://www.virtualbx.com/construction-preview/25247-houston-planning-commission-sees-apartment-retail-mid-rise-proposal-in-memorial-park-neighborhood.html Houston (Harris County) - A mixed-use mid-rise apartment/retail building is proposed off the Washington Avenue corridor in the Memorial Park neighborhood. A variance is being requested of the Houston Planning Commission that would reduce the building line from 25 feet to the curb to just 5 feet on Shepherd Drive and to 10 feet on Durham Drive. The developer also wants a reduced building live of 7 feet on Center Street rather than the required 10 feet. The site occupies an entire city block and its northern boundary is Nett Street. The site was formerly occupied by the Bethel Church United Church of Christ, 1107 Shepherd Drive, which was built in the early 1950s and it currently being demolished. The congregation sold the church and relocated temporarily to Heights Christian Church. The land transfer closed January 6, according to a church news blog. The developer, however, has revised the street address to 1111 Shepherd Drive. Steinberg Dickey Collaborative LLP, the architect, stated on working documents submitted to the city that the retail portion of the project are named Shepherd at Center, and were prepared “for Hunington Residential.” The apparent developer would be Hunington Properties Inc., although the documents submitted to Planning Commission do not so state, and the county appraisal district real property records have not updated since the land sale. The apartment complex project name is The Interpose . City staff comments from the brief submitted to the commission were favorable, however, staff requested that a decision on the variance requests be deferred for two weeks in order to obtain more clarity on the pedestrian realm where the sidewalks meet the two outdoor cafes on either corner of Center Street. The commission agreed to defer at its Thursday afternoon, April 12 meeting. This was the project's second deferment. Commissioner Lydia Mares said, "The traffic is very concerning in that area. I'd be very cautious of putting patios close to the roadway." Staff comments in favor of the concept noted that, “It is to be redeveloped for vertical mixed-use appropriate to this inner city area, which has been experiencing substantial redevelopment.” A luxury apartment building, The Azure Houston, went into construction in early 2017 directly across Durham from the proposed Hunington development, and is near completion. Cater-corner to The Interpose, on the northeast corner of Nett and Shepherd, a CubeSmart Self Storage low-rise was completed in 2017. The planned building height for The Interpose is about 80 feet. The layout of The Interpose provides four tenants spaces totaling about 20,000 square feet on the ground floor, with two spaces facing Shepherd and two facing Durham. Apartment units will be located on floors two to six and there will be amenity decks on the second floor and above the sixth floor. The retail and apartment spaces will wrap around a seven-level garage, however, the lowest level of parking is in a below-grade basement. “The active uses will surround the parking garage in the center of the block, shielding the garage from view on three of the four streets. On the fourth side, Center Street, the garage view is blocked at the corners by retail space, but the central section allows customers and residents to see the garage parking (entrance/exit),” staff said. The entire ground level will be paved from the retail storefronts to the curb with concrete and pavers, but there will be leave-outs to plant the city’s required number of streetscape trees. “The enhanced streetscape will also encourage pedestrians and cyclists from other nearby areas. Having the glass-fronted retail close to the street will encourage pedestrian activity, making the people feel more secure and interesting. Staff also noted that locating retail and dining at street level will allow future residents of this project and of The Azure to be able to dine and purchase goods without having to use their cars. Designated pick-up and drop-off areas will be set aside on Nett and Center streets for Uber and other ride-share services. This is to discourage drivers from stopping for passengers on the two major north-south thoroughfares. The entire block will be circled by a minimum 6-foot sidewalk. There will be a minimum distance of more than 15 feet between the face of the building and the curb on all sides: 19 feet along Shepherd; 18 feet along Durham; 21 feet along Center; and 19 feet along Nett, staff claimed. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the city and how hard it is to get ample amount of space / sqft. To clasify as a "micro" apartment its around 50-350sqft. I would image for the Houston market it might be 250ish? Pretty new concept here. So think of Studio size, but a tad smaller than that. I imagine this will be targeted to young professional transplants or expats from other countries who are working in Houston companies for maybe a year or two. Its actually a good idea. It will help free up the market for more locals to get other places that might go to these other kinds of people when they really don't need a place with a lot of sqft. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
