ljchou Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hi! Noticed that 3509 Harrisburg has been vacant for some time. Any news on tenants taking up residence? It seems like a lot of developments in the area are starting up and then subsequently falling through over here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a lot of developments in the area are starting up and then subsequently falling through over here.  Are you referring to the small white office building on the northeast corner of York and Harrisburg? If so, I agree, it is super disappointing that it hasn’t been leased out yet, they did a good job on the renovations and it seems to be a very appealing building.  My only guess is that it’s because there is an abundance of people loitering in the area due to both the light rail stop and the New Hope Housing facility a block or so away. I use that light rail station frequently and drive through the area regularly as well, and regardless of the time of day or night there are people just aimlessly standing around, sitting under door awnings, etc.  It definitely discourages pedestrian traffic, and I’m afraid that it’s at least been a factor in some developers second guessing projects in the immediate area (such as the proposed project to redo the Rey building at Milby into a retail development). Hopefully the Kaldis redo of the Cameron Iron Works building, inevitable reworking of the coffee plant, and the residential developments that will follow help the area turn the corner, because it has a lot of potential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 They really need to claw back some sidewalk from the street parking. That's my one real issue with the green line- it seriously messed up the sidewalks on Harrisburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my one real issue with the green line- it seriously messed up the sidewalks on Harrisburg.  Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. They just redid the vast majority of the sidewalks in this part of the East End, starting in 2013, by adding new ramps and insets with the East End Management District logo and street name. I doubt they will look at reconfiguring them any time soon.

ricco67 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'm curious about the adjacent parking lot. They recently improved it by cleaning it up, removing the flagpole, and actually adding more spaces there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljchou Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Not sure about the parking lot, but both properties are owned by the Platform Group, so I assume it will be part of the process. Here's an update on the bar, expected opening is Spring 2020: https://houston.eater.com/2019/7/24/20708422/night-shift-east-end-opening-2020-mias-table-expansion-cypress-oporto-cafe-closing  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljchou Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Apparently Ronin will occupy the majority of this space as an event venue. Curious how this will work with the Night Shift bar group. Looks like they'll be the exclusive provider of catering and cocktails, but hopefully Night Shift will maintain a standalone bar.

ljchou Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ronin confirmed they + Night Shift bar will be two separate entities. Great add to the area, especially with night + weekend rentals. Hopefully this will bring some life to the area after dark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a cool district forming before our eyes and it's kind of awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a lush, being able to walk to these watering holes is superb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahawk Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I do hope for a bar with a couple good screens for sports. Sigma will throw a game on their projector on the weekends, but a little sports bar would be really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahawk Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Personal opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. Pitch 25 doesn't really have an identity. I say this because it's supposed to be a soccer bar? But it doesn't show the English Premier League matches, or any soccer matches, unless you specifically ask to put the matches on, and don't even think about getting game sound. Anytime I've been there it seems like a street market has opened up in the outside portion??  The space is HUGE. It always feels really empty, or really crowded. And it's only really crowded when the Champions League Finale is on, or the World Cup matches are being played. It really feels like it should be 2 separate bars instead of one large bar. I've never seen the indoor soccer area being used for anything outside of yoga, or lounging. So I don't really understand the point of it. It should be open play I would think whenever leagues aren't going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stumbled across their monthly liquor profits on https://data.texas.gov/Government-and-Taxes/Liquor-Sales/ and they were substantially more than other venues in the area.I may be misinterpreting the data provided, as well.

thedistrict84 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Drove by here a day or two ago and noticed that they were adding an internal staircase to the roof to what I assume will be a rooftop terrace. Not sure if this will be for Night Shift or the other entity, but it will have a great view of downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcal Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Went by Night Shift last night and was really impressed. Service was really good and the drinks were really good. I think cocktails were fairly priced at $10-$12ish. The frozen drink Saturn (I think?) is passion fruit-based and delicious. They have a pretty limited food menu, but the churros for $7 were great. Manager said that their rooftop deck will be opening very soon. Business has been pretty brisk and they are really committed to being open until 2am 7 nights/week. Their menu mentioned that Sat/Sun brunch is coming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaDolivin Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 also really impressed with their service, ambience, food and drinks. I really have nothing but good things to say about it. It's an instant staple for the east end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
