Amlaham Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Couldn't find if there was an existing thread. But the pier one imports is being demolition and replaced with a chase bank. Drove by today and noticed half the building was already gone. Chase has an entire building directly across the street, could they be rebuilding and moving? It would make sense because they've done this with their other locations like the one on Westheimer and Beltway 8. If they did, their current building across the street could be redeveloped into something big! Building across the street 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you point out, they've done it in other locations (the branch on 19th in the Heights comes to mind). Also, the existing building is fairly old and was inherited by Chase when they acquired Washington Mutual - it was a former WaMu branch, and before that it was a Farm & Home Savings branch before that entity was in turn acquired by WaMu. Not exactly sure when the building was constructed, but the Farm & Home Savings branch there dated back to at least the early 1980s, if not earlier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 To me, that Chase Bank across the street looks like one of those buildings that somehow remain intact after being toppled by an earthquake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasta Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Anyone know what they are building here? This is the site across the street from Kroger where Pier 1 Imports used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErickEdgar Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think someone mentioned in the Montrose neighborhood post that it will be a new Chase bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Posts about this property at 1935 W Gray (also marked at 1927 W Gray St) that were discussed in an unrelated topic: On 4/21/2022 at 8:08 PM, dbigtex56 said: I notice that 1927 W Gray (same block, formerly Pier 1) has had a construction fence around it for the past couple of weeks.

On 6/17/2022 at 9:31 AM, Amlaham said: Nooo, this is good news, because that probably means they're going to consolidate their space and move out of their current location across the street (which is a significantly larger site). Now THAT site, I think is bound for something on a larger scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
