Thank you so much C&G!
You're welcome. I'm not digging the renderings but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I want to see how this turns out. I hope it turns out better than the design shown. -

Having grown up in the Sunset Heights, Yale was always considered the split between Garden Oaks on the west side and Studewood on the east. I still call it Studewood as that's what we grew up knowing it as. Independence Heights and Studewood are the same thing, as oldtimers like you and I already know. However, this only held true from the North Loop to the Burlington Northern Railroad. North of 38th where all the warehouses are, Studewood sprawls across both sides of Yale and that continues north of Crosstimbers. That encompasses Barkwood, Janisch, Martin, Victoria, Thornton, etc. etc. West of Shepherd is Shepherd Park Plaza and Candlelight Forest, at that portion of the old Spur 261. From Crosstimbers to Tidwell, the split is also Shepherd, with Acres Home on the west side, Independence Heights on the east. North of Tidwell, it gets even better. Acres Home (and Highland Village, btw) is on the west side of North Shepherd, Suburban Terrace, Wildrose Gardens, and Parkway are on the east. That is, until you get to Parker Rd. North of Parker, Acres Home cuts across Shepherd now and is considered as such until the 45 service road. I thought it was odd that the Acres Home Dialysis Center opened up at Rittenhouse & Stuebner Airline a few years back. Why would you name it Acres Home? Come to find out, it IS now considered to reside in Acres Home. I never knew...
I sit corrected. As a great sage put it:

I'm not sure how recent this render is, but it's an updated version from the uploaded images above (seems to show the other side of the building shown in the third rendering Urb posted).
The rendering of the Cheek Neal Coffee Building, 2017 Preston in Houston shows the proposed park above the 59 freeway. There is a rooftop bar (as proposed in previous reports). There is also a food hall and market on the ground floor labeled Cheek Neal Market. The rendering also shows B-Cycle stations.

Looks like they ended up picking up and combining the properties after all. Looking forward to seeing them break ground and seeing that intersection grow.

From Realty News Report last week:
David Denenburg, 37, shared his painstaking journey to restore and redevelop the abandoned circa 1917 Cheek Neal Coffee Building, a 55,000 SF historic landmark at 2017 Preston that later housed Maxwell House Coffee. Denenburg says he plans to lease the first floor to retail and offer the upper floors for office space, with large floor plates.
He closed on his purchase of the building in July of 2015 and the next day, he found out that TxDOT planned a freeway expansion for I-45 right through the footprint of the Cheek Neal building.
“We moved quickly to have this amazing treasure designated as a historic landmark,” says Denenburg, who also serves on EaDo’s Management District board.
“The ROW (right of way) for the TxDOT 45 freeway expansion project has now moved around our Cheek Neal Coffee Co Building due to the historic nature of our building,” he says.
Denenburg pointed out how he had re-designed and upgraded the panels of the 88 steel windows, now double-paned, energy-efficient, and sound-proof.
“Architects, historians, and the City of Houston told me the windows could never be restored, that they were in far too poor condition,” he says. “They urged me to use aluminum which may last twenty-five years, whereas steel lasts centuries. Look at them now–perfect and as beautiful as they were back in 1917! I worked weekends, bought pipe at cost for $10,000 that would normally have been $150,000. Keeping costs down is key, but I never compromise the quality.”
A tireless preservationist, Denenburg works side by side with a crew of craftsmen, glazing glass, and stripping away the undesirable finishes others added through the years. “I don’t need to go to the gym. On any given day, my FitBit may register 14,000 steps. I’m up and down stairs, running to Home Depot, shoveling sludge out of basements, emerging covered in diesel. It’s non-stop but so fulfilling to see the results.”
