I'm so glad this is in Houston proper and we're saving an older structure. Big win! Also big win that its not inside a mall! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEES?! Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I’d be down for an adaptive reuse of an old mall though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago's already done the opposite: It built an underground high-speed rail station in the basement of a mall. But the train never came! Elon Musk's Boring Company was supposed to build a high-speed train between O'Hare Airport and Block37 (the mall), but never did. Now the city has a mothballed train station to nowhere.

hindesky Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Still a lot of stuff to remove from the back portion of the property. The roof on the bigger building looks to be in really good shape. Saint Arnold's is going to greatly benefit from the project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Are there plans for a public market at 2103 Lyons Ave? Older renderings of the Moncrief Lenoir buildings showcase a market. The renderings are from 2019 by Houston-based firm Graphite. The name of the project is Houston Public Market. https://www.graphite.business/hpm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 A storied property on Lyons Avenue in Houston’s Fifth Ward Cultural Arts District is getting a new life, complete with an attraction that could draw hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The longtime home to Moncrief-Lenoir Manufacturing Co., which made sheet metal there from 1917 until the company ceased operations in the 1990s, will welcome the immersive, interactive art experience Meow Wolf — part of a development expected to help revitalize a once-neglected corner of the city. Meow Wolf, an art and entertainment company that got its start in Santa Fe, New Mexico, operates locations in Las Vegas and Denver, with a Grapevine, Texas, location set to open this summer. Touting exhibits that “transport audiences of all ages into fantastic realms of story and exploration," its Houston venue is scheduled to open in 2024. The multimedia, multisensory experience offers something like "your brain on drugs," according to one Instagram user. But its Houston home also represents a concerted effort to reconceptualize a historic site in an area with huge untapped potential, its developers told Bisnow during an exclusive tour this week. In the years after Moncrief-Lenoir Manufacturing Co. ceased operations at 2103 Lyons Ave., the property fell into the hands of a recycling company. More recently, it was under contract to a multifamily developer, which planned to tear the buildings down to make way for apartments, Ori Batagower said. Batagower, The Deal Co.'s new development and acquisitions director, said the company made it a priority to get its hands on the property, buying it in 2020. “We really rescued this from the wrecking ball,” Batagower said. “I mean, it would have been an absolute travesty.” The Deal Co. is working to revamp the six buildings and 133K SF on the 6.8-acre property into a vibrant, mixed-use development that includes Meow Wolf, which is expected to bring in more than 750,000 visitors annually, if its properties elsewhere are a guide. In addition to Meow Wolf, The Deal Co. is planning an inviting courtyard and spaces that could have tenants like restaurants, event venues, offices and art studios. https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/construction-development/exclusive-inside-a-century-old-fifth-ward-building-that-could-alter-fortunes-of-houstons-north-side-118416 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 This is the spark that's going to help this area blow up. With the Warehouse District right across the freeway, I hope the city will find a way to better connect the two areas for pedestrians. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a pedestrian bridge over IH 10 underneath Elysian St. bridge. The city has plans to build a road that will connect San Jacinto St. to Fulton St. but that's probably not going to happen anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I use that bridge sometimes on my bike, but it would be great if they widened it by about 10 feet and cleaned up the area around it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 "And we’ve infused our creative essence into the traditional groundbreaking ceremony for our upcoming exhibition, coming to Houston's 5th Ward in 2024. Taking the phrase “paint the town” a bit literal, the groundbreaking ceremony closed with Mayor Sylvester Turner and Meow Wolf CEO Jose Tolosa, and DealCo’s Jon Deal each grabbing a can of spray paint and tagging “Meow Wolf'' on the wall to mark its future location." https://meowwolf.com/articles/breaking-ground-in-houston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 "Meow Wolf is coming to Houston’s Fifth Ward, at 2103 Lyons Avenue, which is located northeast of the city’s downtown. According to the Deal Company website, Meow Wolf will be an anchor tenant in a mixed-use property that will be home to nearly 120,000-square-feet of entertainment venues, event spaces, restaurants, artists studios and galleries, creative workspaces, and offices. The Deal Company, led by founder Jon Deal, is the development and investment group that has also developed other studio spaces, most famously Winter Street Studios and the Sawyer Yards creative complex. The industrial property on Lyons Avenue is a 6.88-acre lot with multiple buildings, known as the Moncrief Lenoir Buildings, which are a mix of brick, steel, and wood beam warehouses constructed between 1917 and 1968. The property is located directly across the street from Saint Arnold Brewing Company." https://glasstire.com/2023/05/26/meow-wolf-breaks-ground-in-houstons-fifth-ward/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
