The lot is going to be behind the building. We always complain why developers don't do this, and now that they are SAVING a historic structure and keeping parking in the back, we are STILL complaining. I would be more upset if the furniture place next door was the structure being demolished for parking. In many ways this is a win for the area imo.

The group is asking $68 per square foot for the space. “It’s expensive,” he noted. “We’re pushing the envelope.

Davis said the parking situation is preventing tenants from leasing this building. Hopdoddy Burger Bar wanted to open at the 1731 Westheimer building, but the parking steered them away to Rice Village. The Toasted Yolk was also looking at this space for a minute, but eventually decided to open on Washington Ave in the Kitchen 713 restaurant space.

Parking really is one of the biggest hurdles from areas like these exploding with more activity. I've stated in another thread (can't remember) that I've seen projects go dormant or revived simply due to parking requirements. You can tell there are people ready to jump onto areas and neighborhoods like this, but the minimum requirements really hamstring the development process. Its a real shame. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) On 1/20/2022 at 6:38 AM, IntheKnowHouston said: I scrolled through the posts from 2020 to the present and couldn't locate any mention of the potential retailers in one of the early marketing brochures for Montrose Collective. The only post I found included a few (like Van Leeuwen, La La Land, and a few others), but it didn't list all the prospective tenants listed. In the earlier marketing brochures, Barcelona Wine Bar and Bartaco were listed as businesses interested in opening at Montrose Collective. Both restaurants were removed from later brochures. However, last week I came across a LLC for Barcelona Montrose LLC. It's tied to the restaurant group operating other Barcelona and Bartaco locations. Does anyone know if Barcelona has signed on to open at Montrose Collective after all? Or will this open elsewhere in the Montrose area (that's not part of the Montrose Collective mixed-use)? Barcelona / Barcelona Wine Bar is opening its Houston location at 1731 Westheimer Rd. It's also a tapas restaurant. The restaurant and its sister concept Bartaco have been eyeing the Houston market for a few years. According to previous marketing materials for Montrose Collective, both restaurants showed interest in the development. The parking lot is currently home to a food truck park that may be named Montrose Food Park. I don't know if the food truck will continue to operate in the parking lot. I'm assuming the food trailers will probably relocate or find new locations to set up shop so there's room for customers' vehicles. https://barcelonawinebar.com Edited March 1, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Website added 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, as long as most of the building remains in tact, I don't have a preference about the tenant. This is one of the few buildings on Westheimer I like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All but Houston Press sat on the news. Houston Press reported this as a rumor last month despite me providing information stating otherwise. According to the person covering restaurant and bar openings/closings for Houston Press, Barcelona claimed there weren't plans for a location in Houston or the Houston area. Clearly, that is not true. Edited April 15, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
