If COH can't start this piece of development to be storefront next to street parking in back.....which piece of proposed development  will they start with?

To me, this seems to be pretty close the right use of this lot and the most efficient use of the property.  It, also, matches the building which it shares a property line with, which steers a commonsense design.  Otherwise, it'd be just a pad site or two, with an additional curb cut ...which would be worse, IMO.

From building permits, Giant Leap Coffee is the coffee shop that may be opening in place of Belvedere, the club and lounge in Uptown Park.

This is a craft coffee shop in Houston's East End.

In January, Giant Leap Coffee announced a second location on the way, but didn't say where.


From Instagram:

We’re really excited to announce that we’re working on a second location. More on that as things progress! Excited for another crazy year!

...and interestingly enough he said that the new "coffee shop" i thought was going next to Belvedere will instead be a large "kiosk type" fixture in the fan/hula hoop area near Flower Child. (He did say what was going in that empty space between Ethan Allen's north entrance and High Gloss but i think i remember him saying it will be a Pop-Up for now)
 

He then added that Belvedere is indeed closing and that will be taken over by another similar business that will be more casual he thinks.

They acquired the Fitzgerald's lots about a year after acquiring the original lots. I think the current plan is to site the garage at Studewood and 6-1/2, but I haven't seen site plans or renderings.

So, I did a search on the county clerk's website. I saw documentation from August 2019 referring to 2714 White Oak Dr. 

The documentation referenced a parking lease agreement. The parking in the attached documents for referred to the White Oak lots which  are lots 14 and 15 combined as shown in the replat in the 2714 White Oak Dr thread (thread is here). The combined lots are 2714 White Oak Dr.

South Heights Purchase Company ( 2805 White Oak Dr ) and Heights Studemont Purchase (the former Fitzgerald's venue soon to be mixed use at 2706 White Oak Dr) are listed as the tenants. Lot 14 & 15 Purchase Company LLC as landlord (2714 White Oak).

There's nothing (at least when I skimmed the document)  specifying what kind of parking: surface parking or automated parking garage.

With space being limited and Easy Park & Verde's public remarks on providing more  parking in the White Oak District by way of a parking garage, I don't think the 2714 White Oak Dr property will be converted into a surface lot for parking.

2714 White Oak Dr is likely still the site of the automated parking garage as depicted in the site maps shown in the thread for 2714 White Oak Dr (thread is here). I wish we could get a definitive answer from the developer.

Either way, I'm anxious to the see the final design.
 

Thanks, @Angostura

 

Easy Park's original plan for the automated parking garage location was 2912 White Oak Dr (reupped thread about it here). The location of the automated parking garage switched to this address, 2714 White Oak in the spring. A replat for it was submitted to the city in July or August of this year.

So, it seemed this property is or could be the site for the garage.

I suppose we won't know for sure until details leak and  documents are posted online. ☹️

Great updates, Gene!


But is a similar business like Belvedere needed? A club seems out of place with the new changes.

I guess the announcement on their website "Opening Winter 2019" is accurate.

From the updated site plan above and the Uptown Houston page on Eden's website, the J. Alexander's restaurant has a name.

The name is Merus Grill.

On the Uptown Houston page on Eden's website, it's listed as Merus Grill by J Alexander's Restaurant.

There is a website for Merus Grill that redirects to J. Alexander's Holdings.
http://www.merusgrill.com/

And there are trademark applications for Merus Grill dating back to 2015 .

The website for Merus Grill no longer redirects to J. Alexander's Holdings. As of this week, the site for Merus Grill is up.

This is the restaurant opening in Uptown Park at 1180-1 Uptown Park Blvd.

There is also an opening date listed:  November 2019.

Last week, the always late reporting Houston Business Journal "revealed" the name of the J. Alexander restaurant coming to Uptown Park.

As posted in this thread in April, the name of the restaurant is Merus Grill, but here's HBJ's "news" anyway:



Nashville, Tennessee-based J. Alexander’s Holding Inc. (NYSE: JAX) will open a new concept, Merus Grill, in Uptown Park this November, a spokesperson for the company confirmed. 

Permits filed with the city of Houston show that a restaurant called Merus Grill will be built at 1180 Uptown Park Blvd. In March, J. Alexander's Holding announced it planned to open a restaurant in Uptown Park in “late 2019,” but details about the particular concept were not revealed at the time.

It would be ideal if the city could tell private parties what they can and can't do with their money on the land they own. It would stop all these awful structures being built. I don't think there would be any disagreements, either.

It is showing 310 (Belvedere) available still...I wonder how long it will take for them to even announce they are closing...

and lastly, that entire building B is almost all available...(except Mendocino Farms)...I am not too surprised that Miss Academy must be moving out as that was just an unusual and seemingly always vacant business...but am surprised that Ethan Allen didn't try to make that almost whole stand alone building theirs.

Can we have at least one of these spaces be a part of the world domination that is Voodoo Donuts?! 🍩🤩

I guess Eden Properties isn't ready to broadcast some of the spaces marked available have been leased or new tenants are in lease negotiations.

The spaces for Ethan Allen, The Rustic and a handful of others were marked available, but were filled as we know now (and was shared to HAIF before Eden sent press releases out). I think that's the same here.

Belvedere's space has been claimed (posted above for those who missed it). It's only a matter of time before Houston Chronicle or CultureMap get a hold of the news and run their obits for the club. Then Houston Business Journal, PaperCity and probably local news will run with it since whatever restaurant or bar news that's shared thousands of times (or shows interest on Reddit or HAIF) is stolen and reported on their station without providing their source.
