On 7/18/2019 at 6:21 AM, CrockpotandGravel said:Company of Nomads, the operators of Railway Heights Market (Conservatory, Bravery Chef Hall) that is part of Railway Heights from Easy Park and Verde updated their website.
https://companyofnomads.com
Before, it was a dummy page with a template. But in the last week, the full website launched with their own content.
It's not launched in full, links to the food hall, vertical gardens, and other areas their company.
There will probably be more information uploaded on Railway Heights Market soon.
Company of Nomads website has more pages up. There was a landing page before.
On Company of Nomads' website is a new opening date for Railway Heights Market, part of the Railway Heights development at 8200 Washington Ave in Houston.
The site lists Railway Heights Market coming Summer 2020. And there's this in the market's bio:
Our anticipated opening is in June of 2020.

Another tenants update shared recently by Railway Heights Market.
Railway Heights Market is the food hall and market portion of the Railway Heights development at 8200 Washington Ave, Houston.
An update to investors September 12:
We have about 50% of our vendor spaces leased. Our team has conducted interviews with the owners and chefs and very diligently tasted their menu (Yum!). We decided to partner with these concepts not only because of their historical success, but because they are entrepreneurs aligned with our mission to "incubate exciting new concepts". These vendors have made early commitments to Railway Heights due to the strength of this one-of-a-kind Houston location.
The Railway team is now carefully curating the remaining leases. As our mission states, we are committed to giving small businesses and vendors the opportunity to be seen and grow by being a part of this market. We will continually rotate the kinds of concepts we believe will thrive in this environment when timing is appropriate.

This was in the previous thread for The Harp @ 1625 Richmond Ave. It's being reposted / reupped since the original thread and other content from me were removed.
Originally posted by CrockpotandGravel, March 21, 2019 in the thread for The Harp @ 1625 Richmond Ave.
From Houston Business Journal today:
Penny Whistle, an Irish-themed pub, has opened in the space formerly held by Montrose mainstay The Harp.
Ted Baker, owner of sports bar Revelry next door, bought the business in early 2018 after The Harp’s owner, Declan Plunkett, retired and closed his longtime pub. The Harp finally closed in November 2018 with an announcement of more changes on the way.
...Baker and Plunkett were longtime acquaintances by the time Plunkett and the landlord, Houston-based Braun Enterprises, began the search for someone to take over the space. Rachel Schlothauer, now general manager of Penny Whistle, was a regular patron of The Harp. Baker ended up winning his bid for the bar due to his relationship with Plunkett and his promise he would keep renovations to a minimum and leave the bar as an Irish pub.
“We saw an opportunity to find something the area was lacking,” Schlothauer said, noting that the new team "didn’t want to erase anything that Declan had done.”
This attitude even went into the name — a penny whistle is another type of Irish instrument.
...As part of keeping with The Harp legacy, Penny Whistle is building a wall of Harp party photos, including photos of when Plunkett first began bartending after he immigrated to the United States from Ireland.

On 6/12/2019 at 4:02 AM, CrockpotandGravel said:The setback reduction was requested because most of the property (54%) is in the floodway or within the building line/dedication area; the city is planning to widen Patterson from its current 28-foot width to 60 feet, Development Services staff planner Chad Miller said. This is part of the city’s plan to introduce a bike lane that will connect to the hike and bike trail.
Maybe...but probably not considering they've decided against building a bike lane on the rest of Patterson that is wide enough to currently support it.

From Facebook:
We all miss The Harp but what the neighborhood misses most is a damn good pub run by neighborhood folk. Once again, you've got one.
Pennywhistle Pub is now open at 1625 Richmond with a full draught selection, a much larger selection of cocktails and wine, a shiny new staff, FULLY renovated bathrooms and deck and all the fun stuff: darts, foosball, juke box, board games, Mario Kart and just enough TVs.

The Harp closes tonight at 1625 Richmond.
From Free Press Houston:
For almost 20 years, The Harp (1625 Richmond) has drawn in customers with the warm, emerald glow of its neon sign. And for 15 years before the doors were first thrown open, Declan Plunkett was already a fixture of the Montrose bar scene.
...Plunkett’s first step was finding the right spot for his bar. “Location is the most important thing in any bar/restaurant business,” he says. “I found this place by chance. It was a massage training school — it wasn’t one of those ‘funny’ massage places!”
The recently vacated building was gutted, with Plunkett’s wife and her mother doing a lot of the homey, Celtic-flavored decorating themselves. As for the name: “The harp is the national music emblem of Ireland,” notes Plunkett. “And you can’t franchise (it), everybody can use it.”
The intervening 19 years have flown by for loyal regulars, but Plunkett notes that The Harp’s popularity peaked in its first seven years. “Rent was cheaper, there wasn’t a bar on every corner,” he recalls. “We were, like, the only place on Richmond between Montrose and Shepherd.”
....Montrose has undergone big changes since Plunkett’s arrival through its continued facelifts; in the years since he’s owned The Harp, he’s watched as both the landscape and the demographics of the neighborhood have been transformed. “Obviously the area has gentrified a lot,” he remarks. “They’re tearing down the history of Montrose, which I hate to see. But I wouldn’t live anywhere else. I love it, I love the eclectic people.”
Plunkett cites health as the chief reason now is the right time for him to bow out of the neighborhood he loves. He’s had five surgeries and cancer issues, he says, and his kids have been urging him to just go and enjoy himself, even if that meant selling his storied bar.

From Swamplot on The Harp in December:
A flyer put out by Braun Enterprises indicates that the Harp Irish Pub’s spot at 1625 Richmond Ave is available for lease. A partnership controlled by Braun bought the decked-out bar along with its 3 eastern neighbors (at that time Orange Bar, Maria Selma Mexican Restaurant, and Lucky Burger) in 2011.

And from Houston Chronicle in December:
One of the Montrose area's most popular watering holes will be closing its doors soon.
The Harp, an Irish pub known for its decent pours and homey atmosphere at 1625 Richmond Avenue near the corner of Mandell, will officially close after the end of February.
The bar is located along a strip that already includes Revelry on Richmond and the Oui Banh Mi sandwich shop, now located in the old Lucky Burger spot."This is all good, I am just planning to retire and live down in Mexico," said Plunkett, who splits his time between Houston and Playa del Carmen. "It's bittersweet though for the employees."
Braun Enterprises has begun to market the property for lease and has also listed the former Texas Shrimp Shack location (1617 Richmond) just next door, where older Houstonians might remember was once the home of alternative rock club Instant Karma. According to Wolf, Braun is also working on an exterior facelift at that location.
Braun has owned the 1.4 acres of land that The Harp and those other watering holes occupy since 2014.

Cheek Neal Coffee Building At 2017 Preston St.

https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/32426-cheek-neal-coffee-building-to-be-restored/?do=findComment&comment=506452
From Houston Chronicle in July:
Old coffee building in EaDo to be restored
Developers are planning to restore the Cheek Neal Coffee Building, a long-vacant structure just east of U.S. 59 from downtown.
David Denenburg and Jon Deal have purchased the 55,000-square-foot building from Tour Partners Ltd., an entity affiliated with the Augusta Pines golf club and the Tour 18 golf franchise, according to an attorney who represented the developers in a lawsuit relating to the property acquisition.
The property, 2017 Preston at St. Emanuel, will be restored by the developers who have completed other restoration projects in the past.
In 2014, Denenburg acquired and restored an old fire station built in 1905 at 1919 Houston Ave. into an event space. Deal’s most recent project involves the transformation of the Riviana Rice facility into what will be called the Silos at Sawyer Yards. The project will house creative work spaces along with galleries, restaurants and additional retail.
Brian Kilpatrick of Wilson, Cribbs & Goren said Denenburg put the property under contract in 2013 but the deal fell apart due to problems with title. A lawsuit was later resolved and Denenburg was able to move forward with the purchase of the property. Attorney Jarrett Ellzey of Hughes Ellzey also represented Denenburg in the dispute.
Cheek Neal was the predecessor to Maxwell House Coffee.
