IntheKnowHouston Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) It seems Braun Enterprises is purchasing (or has purchased) the lots at 1607 N Shepherd Dr, 1619 Shepherd Dr, 711 W 16th St, and 716 W 17th St. Although the sales listing for the lots haven't been updated to "under contract," "sold," or "off the market," Braun Enterprises recently added a leasing listing for the lots. County records do not show the purchase yet. The developers are marketing the lots, combining them as retail pads. Marketing materials for the proposed retail were listed several days ago. https://www.crexi.com/lease/properties/497279/texas-heights-pads https://api-lease. crexi.com/assets/497279/flyer A Loopnet listing from August https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1607-N-Shepherd-Dr-Houston-TX/26528038/ Edited October 28, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amlaham Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I don't have to say it because I know everyone is thinking it. Almost every new building going up along shepherd has been up to the street, they're even rebuilding shepherd to be more pedestrian friendly, are these developers tone deaf or something??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are using an existing building at the back of the North lot, and expanding it. All the other structures appear to be slated for demolition. If they weren't using the existing building, maybe they would be closer to the street. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 N. Shep is becoming the next Champs Elysees. A major thoroughfare lined with shops and cafes. And an HEB. But in all seriousness, the Radoms and the Brauns set higher standards in the Heights and you can no longer Ainbinder up a strip mall and get the kind of tenants who are going to be able to pay Heights rents. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Architect is the architect on record. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Print/TABS2023015274 An off-street parking variance request for 1619 N Shepherd Dr is on this month's Planning Commission agenda. As noted above, pet boarding/hotel K9 Resorts is a tenant. According to the documents supplied to the Planning Commission, "the purpose of this request is to provide 12 off-street parking spaces in lieu of the required 18 spaces per Sec. 26-492 of the City of Houston municipal code for a pet boarding facility." Below are additional details submitted with the off-street parking variance request: The Planning Department advised us to use the Nursery School or Day Care Center use category, which has a parking rate of 1 parking space per employee during the largest shift plus 1 parking space for every 10 children (dogs in this case) when at maximum capacity, if a pick-up/drop-off location is provided. The proposed parking lot will have a designated pick-up/drop-off parking space. Based on this use category, the site would need a total of 20 parking spaces during their peak capacity. Further, we will provide bicycle parking. This will allow for a 10% reduction (2 spaces) in the total number of spaces required, which will bring the total number of required parking spaces to 18. A total of 12 parking spaces can be provided due to the existing characteristics of the site and buildings. Based on the pick-up and drop-off nature of the pet boarding facility, patrons are only parking for 1-2 minutes. 12 parking spaces is an adequate number of parking for the facility and its employees.

hindesky Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Planning Commission deferred the Off Street Parking Variance at 1619 N. Shepherd St. Neighbors worried about small amount of parking but this topic has come up with other dog day care places. They don't require as many parking spots as child day do. Every other dog day care requesting an off street parking variance eventually passed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
