Texasota Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I've had such high hopes for this building for years. Nobody better pull a "Warehouse District" on this one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedvaulter Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Couldn't find a topic on this, looks like some new mixed-use development is planned for the old Moncrief Lenoir manufacturing building across Lyons from St. Arnold. Cool old building, lots of potential. Can't find much detail on it yet. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2103-Lyons-Ave-Houston-TX/20582228/ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool old building, lots of potential. Can't find much detail on it yet. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2103-Lyons-Ave-Houston-TX/20582228/ It's just for sale. Doesn't mean anything's happening. It's a great building and a no-brainer for some sort of loft renovation but other developments in the area like Warehouse District and the stuff on Navigation are better positioned location-wise. This will not benefit from NHHIP in the short-term, assuming that happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I could def see this becoming another renovated warehouse with multiple local businesses as tenants. That seems to be a huge trend right now. I looked up info on the building and it says it was built in 1920 and renovated in 1980. So I'm assuming the bones are still in good shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapo2367 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'm curious, what part of town do people consider this? I know the category is downtown but it is north of I10, which in my head makes it part of near northside. Maybe "Warehouse district"? it is a warehouse after all.

Houston is a perfect expansion spot for them, especially considering Martin has pledged his entire life's work to Texas A&M and spends some time in College Station.

Very exciting, really hope they choose Houston. Was just at the Sante Fe Meow Wolff last month and it was a lot of fun! Think it would be a great addition here for both locals and tourists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC2HTX Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 MW has been considering Houston as an expansion since 2017. At that time they also considered Austin, LA, Denver, and LV. Two of those are now open. Houston is probably a lock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to the Santa Fe location next month and cannot wait to check this out when it opens! I experienced Meow Wolf's Santa Fe location in late 2019, and the Las Vegas location summer of last year. Very cool, and noticeably steps-up from our own Seismique (though I enjoyed Seismique as well). My husband and I got as far as "overthrowing" the front-of-house at Omega Mart, before heading out to see other attractions, but probably had a few hours of effort ahead of us to get to the bottom of the whole thing.

Amlaham Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Wow, that a huge price tag! The Grapevine location is only $2,000,000. Is it because the warehouse needs a lot more work compared to their mall, or because this is a stand alone building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lyons site is pretty rough on the outside and can only imagine what it looks like inside. They will have to do electrical, plumbing, interior walls, sheet rock, maybe floors and add AC. Plus they have to build a parking lot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
