The renderings show a decorative screen covering the facade. And they are only 5 months into a 1.5 year long construction. Obviously much more work to do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREguy13 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It appears we may have our first retail tenants at Montrose Collective. On the marketing brochure it lists La La Land Kind Cafe (second HOU location) and Van LeeuWen Ice Cream. It looks like VL is only in NYC and LA, but has a location opening soon in NJ.. Judging by their website it looks like a great fit for this project and Montrose, in general. Anybody ever been? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news. I used to live right there and would walk over quite often. I don't get around there as much as it is great to hear they are coming. I read about the Voodoo Donuts as well. I think they are taking over the old Radio Shack. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This parking garage will be a great asset to that area! I suppose . . . the area is going through some tough times, from an infrastructure standpoint. The funds to rebuild lower Westheimer just got bumped, we'll be lucky if construction starts by 2030. Last thing the area needs is even more car traffic, but there aren't any good multimodal transportation options until Metro does the 82 line improvements and whenever the Montrose TIRZ finishes improving their walk/bike network . . . but who knows how long all that will take? I'd happily dump the parking for redone sidewalks along Westheimer but that's just me 🤷♂️ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when I lived in Avondale, the absolute worst experience I had with parking was that I had to park a 5 minute walk away. Big freaking deal. Per the Community Impact article last September: Quote In addition to Montrose Collective's two mixed-use buildings, Radom plans to construct a five-story, 580-space parking garage, which includes one basement level, Radom said. About 100 spaces will be open to the public, although that number is not finalized, and 25 will be free spaces for library patrons. The remaining spaces will be reserved for Montrose Collective visitors, Radom said. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
