CrockpotandGravel Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Created a new thread for this building / development, that was previously discussed in the More Coming to Midtown thread. Hopefully it's easier to keep up with\updates on this project in one place instead of scrolling and searching for information in the free-for-all thread it was in before. 1500 McGowen Street in Midtown, Houston.

CrockpotandGravel Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) In 2017 (possibly February), 1500 McGowen changed hand. Davis Holdings purchased the two-story class B office building in Midtown. From Houston Chronicle, February 16, 2017: Davis Holdings has bought a two-story office building at 1500 McGowen at La Branch in Midtown. The 33,000-square-foot building, which was constructed in 1972 and has loft-style space, is fully leased. Louis Rosenthal of JLL represented the buyer, a company involved in oil and gas and real estate investments. David Husid and Brandi McDonald of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank represented the seller, Skyland Lodge Tract. "Davis Holdings was attracted to the property's accessible location, proximity to downtown and adequate parking," Rosenthal said in an announcement. "Fully renovated and located in Midtown's growth path, the building should prove to be a great investment for the firm." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Davis-Holdings-buys-Midtown-office-building-10938559.php Other reports:https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/02/21/midtown-class-b-office-building-changes-hands.htmlhttps://realtynewsreport.com/2017/02/17/davis-holdings-buys-midtown-office-building/ Edited November 13, 2019 by CrockpotandGravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrockpotandGravel Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 There is a Loopnet listing for the McGowen Building at 1500 McGowen St. The listing was created in July and last updated October, 7. According to the listing, there is some redevelopment on the way, which will include retail.https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1500-McGowen-St-Houston-TX/10798429/ (archive link) Brochure:https://images1.loopnet.com/d2/-VuAe7xE-OAe3WOtBfeog2mnUp6d0KfFLLlFZ6yhZHs/document.pdf (archive link) From the listing:Retail coming - The demand for retail in East Midtown is high. We are adding a retail component to the building to meet that need. The retail portion will cover approximately 6,000 SF, and consist of smaller tenants. New storefronts will bare double glass doors, awnings with signage, patio, and visibility on La Branch & McGowen. We are looking for retail tenants NOW. The remaining space is office space. Exposed concrete floors, wood paneled elevators, modern artwork in common areas, and unique fixtures make for a charming office location. Parking here is exceptional- with three parking lots, and two with secure access, 1500 McGowen is an exception in Midtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbs315 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 This property (SE corner of La Branch and McGowen) has had signage about upcoming renovations to include restaurant/retail/etc for a few years without any signs of progress. Now there is finally a fence around it and there were workers on site when I walked by yesterday. https://davisholdingslp.com/1500-mcgowen/ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
