Yeah that's ...disappointing.

More on Railway Heights at 8200 Washington Ave, Houston in the Washington Corridor. 

This comes from their other company Verde, which is their retail and apartment arm.

This may be the name of another component or maybe the proposed residential portion previously discussed: The Junction. It's the first time that name has been used and tied to Railway Heights. Maybe the name is to tie into their railroad theme and homage. There is also news of a 15-story high rise that may be residential, a hotel,  or both. Previous news has only touched on residential with shipping container apartments (read past posts in the thread)

There will also be a distillery from Austin somewhere in the mixed-use, retail, food hall portion that is Railway Heights Market. This is the first time this has been shared publicly.



 

The Junction & Railway Heights

 

Description:
 

A newly constructed mixed use retail property on 3.6 acres located on the western edge of the Heights near Timbergrove in Houston’s inner loop. The property is conveniently located just north of I-10 and close by also to the recently constructed connector to I-290 and North 610.

We are completely renovating a 40,000 SF existing two story building. Our primary tenant is the Conservatory which is opening up a food hall of more than 50 stalls, a gourmet food market, and a beer garden complete with family oriented games and entertainment. This will be the Conservatory’s third, and its largest, location after Bravery at the Hines / Met Life high rise on Market Square and the Conservatory/Silent Theater at 1004 Prairie in downtown Houston. While not yet confirmed, we believe the remaining 15,000 SF of space will be leased to a smartphone app-driven food delivery company and a distillery which first opened in Austin TX.

 

Development Plan:
The food hall comprises 25,000 square feet of space on two levels. We are currently leasing the remaining 15,000 square feet in the building. Please contact us with leasing inquiries. In our second phase, we plan a fully automated parking garage in the northeast corner of the site which will comprise 12 levels. In the third and final phase, we plan a high-rise building of 15 stories or taller for residential or hotel use, or both.

Timing of Phases:

Phase I: 2018-2019
Phase II: late 2019-2020  
Phase III: 2020-2022

Nothing to see here.. if you enjoyed the spamming, well, it's resumed without much delay. 

And how did I spam the forum?

99.1% of the content I posted was relevant.

I posted:

- New threads for projects or properties

(most came from Loopnet listings (which eventually were lots that were redeveloped or in the process of being redeveloped in some way), others from blurbs from Houston Chronicle's real estate transactions round up, from LLCs or properties I had  some inside knowledge of) (no different than anyone else here)

-  content about new projects that had not been shared to the forum (no different than anyone else here)

- renderings I came across or extracted from PDFs shared here that weren't posts. And when I did extract renderings and other related content from PDF that others shared but didn't post that content, I did it (and made an archive link) so that it would be visible to those who didn't want to download it or  were viewing the site from their tablet or mobile, making it easier for them) (no different than anyone else here)

-  I posted articles that contained new information to developments and properties on the forum. (no different than anyone else here and no different than you, although unlike you, I don't post the same article with the same press release details that has already been posted)

- And I commented and responded to posts in the forum (no different than anyone else here)



So what's your deal?

I've been apart of this forum since 2013. And before that, I was a longtime lurker since the mid' 2000's. I became active in either 2015 or 2016. And since then, contributed a lot to the forum, much of the same content Urbannizer shares (though Urb doesn't  resize images, or extract images from PDF files, or any of the extra I stuff I do to be of help to others). So again, no different than anyone else here.

And editor said I could repost what was lost (renderings, comments, etc), which was a lot in the neighborhood forums, a forum I had a big hand in keeping active. If you have a problem with that, take it up with editor.

Most of the content I shared is no longer on this forum. That also includes other member's helpful and insightful comments, photos, and other contributions. I'm doing my best to restore what I can so that like with all other posts in this forum, they can be referenced to see how a project has progressed, past plans, so past content is searchable on the forum and Google, and etc. I'm trying to reup those threads and comments made me and others early in the morning so as not to disrupt the flow of the thread during the day. But since I have free time today, I'm doing as much as I can before the rest of my content is not visible through Google Cache (at least those I wasn't able to save or archive to repost for later). But you have a problem with that. 

I don't like that the mod responsible for this mess removed years of content  from me and content shared by others in the threads started by me. These were threads and comments linked in Houston Chronicle articles, CultureMap, Houston Business Journal, Eater Houston, and linked in Facebook groups and Nextdoor. I don't like that the mod responsible isn't lending a hand by reposting some of the content they removed in the mass deletion of my account. I also don't like taking out time to repost loads of content previously shared here. But again, I'm doing it for the reasons I posted in the paragraph above. I'm being selfless and helpful. But you have a problem with that.

If you have such a problem with me reposting all the threads I started and the relevant posts in them or posts I contributed to this forum that are no longer here, take it up with the mod responsible for deleting and banning my account supposedly in "error" which they have yet to reach out to me privately to apologize for.

 

Or better yet, block me and you don't have to see anything I post, comment or otherwise on the forum.

Here's more on Railway Heights at 8200 Washington Ave, Houston in the Washington Corridor.

Railway Heights is the name of the entire development owned by developers Easy Park and Verde Communities. Railway Heights Market is the food hall, market and retail component of Railway Heights. Railway Heights Market is operated by Company of Nomads.

This comes from their other company Verde, which is their retail and apartment arm (I posted about this company in another thread):



Our newest project is the Railway Heights at 8200 Washington. This is a 3.6 acre site we are developing in three phases. The first phase of 40,000 square feet of retail and mixed use space will open late this year, and will include what we believe will be Houston’s largest food hall. The second and third phases will include a vertical parking structure and a high rise for multi-family and/or lodging use.

More on the new retail development proposed for the parking lot at 2805 White Oak Dr in the Heights, Houston.


From Swamplot:


A NEW shopping center dubbed South Heights on White Oak has plans to land in the shared parking lot on White Oak Dr. just west of the former Jimmy’s Ice House at Threlkeld St. The rendering at top — taken from a leasing flyer for the development put out by Centric Commercial — views the proposed woodsy building from the north side of White Oak Dr., at the edge of the lot between Christian’s Tailgate and Barnaby’s Cafe. On the east side of the building, a deck fronted by a glass curtain wall cantilevers over a drainage ditch that runs north from White Oak Bayou through the woods between the site and the neighboring ice house.

...Only 5 spots are planned for the 10,000-sq.-ft. building’s parking lot, indicated in the site plan with one way in and one way out onto White Oak. However, the owner of the property — an affiliate of automated parking developer Easy Park — is the same entity that bought the yellow car hangar across the street and appears to have plans to dramatically increase that lot’s car capacity:

More thorough details on each portion of phase 1 of Railway Heights. It contains information previously reported and new details.

This is the development under construction at 8200 Washington Ave in Houston. It will include a market, food hall, beer garden, dog park and dog bar, gree space, automated parking garage, and micro apartments / container apartments.


From Railway Heights' crowdfunding campaign with NextSeed:
 

THE SECOND FLOOR

 

Twenty Food Concepts
 

Upstairs, visitors will find a food hall containing 20 diverse eatery options. Each will occupy its own small modular footprint within the space, signing a renewable one-year lease with a low base rent commitment plus a percentage of sales. If a vendor is looking to grow into a bigger space, the flexible layout within Railway allows for adjacent spaces to be merged into one. Joining the food stalls is a commissary kitchen for their use, as well as eight additional smaller, fully-built “hawker stalls.” The hawker stalls will feature pop-up chefs and brand-new food concepts, with the furnished stalls available for lease in three-month increments to keep the market constantly refreshed. Hawker stalls will not be charged rent, but will instead pay a higher percentage of net sales. Hawkers can renew their lease upon exceeding a certain sales threshold. These Hawker stalls will allow fresh concepts focused on what they are good at to incubate their ideas into a more permanent lease and new business venture with nearly no risk in startup or operational costs.
 

Identifying and curating complementary concepts will be part of the magic of the space, calling on the team’s experience with Conservatory Food Hall. Full meals, specialty dishes, ethnic and local fare, desserts and beverages of all types will rotate through. No matter how many times guests visit, there will always be something new to check out. 
 

Food vendors have shown a high level of interest in Railway since the project was announced in July 2018. The team is carefully interviewing candidates and anticipates it will have built up a waitlist nearly six months in advance. The constant maintenance of that list will allow for a consistently high occupancy rate.

 

Twenty Retail Concepts
 

The second floor will house the market’s retail concepts, also structured as tenants paying base rent plus a percentage of sales. Twenty independent sellers of goods such as vintage clothing, handmade gifts, jewelry, crafts, and more will be interspersed among the food options, creating a vibrant atmosphere with many attractions. Retail vendors will have more flexible lease terms of 3, 6, and 12 months. Railway Heights Market is curating small artisans, craftsmen, and artists who aren’t necessarily looking to have a retail space, but who need to do retailing activities, such as setting up a booth at their local farmer’s market to get the word out about their business. 

 

Wine Bar
 

Central to the upstairs action will be the wine bar, located under a magnificent glass atrium and featuring an affordable and approachable wine list. Here, bottles of wine can be purchased under an off-premises license for consumption at home or in one of the market’s outdoor spaces. The Railway Heights Market team has focused primarily on using a wine-on-tap system where wine is housed in stainless steel kegs to reduce spoilage from oxidation, while also meeting customer demands by serving smaller tasting pours. This gives customers access to a greater sampling of wine while reducing inventory spoilage costs for Railway Heights Market. 

Salad Bar
 

One of the more innovative components of Railway Heights Market is the hydroponic salad bar, Let Us. Salad boxes can be purchased from a vending machine (cutting down on labor costs) and then filled from the plentiful healthy options on offer, including greens grown onsite in hydroponic freight container farms. Growing the lettuce on-site will ensure a fresh and readily available product for consumers while keeping costs lower than if purchased from an outside supplier. The Railway Heights Market team will use this first shipping container as a pilot in hydroponic growing and plans to expand this program to include more growers and containers in the future. 

 

Farm-based Fresh and Takeout Meals
 

For those truly dedicated to a healthy eating lifestyle, Railway Heights Market will offer a healthy meals concept called Watever Fresh. This spot provides a variety of cafeteria-style prepared healthy foods made from the freshest produce from local farmers that's friendly to vegetarian, vegan, paleo and keto diets. Produce will be delivered daily and “whatever’s delivered” will be made into that day’s menu. Much of the leftover produce from the Ugly Produce section will be sold to this concept. Watever Fresh will be open during lunch and dinner hours when locals in the neighboring area are looking for a quick and healthy alternative to complement a busy lifestyle.

I wasn't  able to retrieve  everything I contributed to this forum, mostly what was posted on the first page last year (included earlier renderings, archived links to leasing brochures, and earlier reports of the project). However I was able to save pages 2 and 3 from this thread and will repost content I shared (and found) previously from those pages.



 

More thorough details on each portion of phase 1 of Railway Heights. It contains information previously reported and new details.

This is the development under construction at 8200 Washington Ave in Houston. It will include a market, food hall, beer garden, dog park and dog bar, gree space, automated parking garage, and micro apartments / container apartments.


From Railway Heights' crowdfunding campaign with NextSeed:

 

THE FIRST FLOOR

 

Ten Market Stalls
 

The first floor will feature the market’s artisan heart. Closest to the glass atrium will be ten market stall-style concepts including bakers, butchers, fishmongers, cheesemongers and more. Customers can interact directly with sellers to learn more about their wares. These market stalls will have cheaper rents than anywhere else in the complex to assist new and less-experienced vendors. This prioritization of growth and innovation over conservative business practices is represented throughout Railway Heights Market. The tenants of the market stalls will pay base rent plus a percentage of sales generated. 
 

The ground floor will only contain artisan concepts, so these vendors will not have to compete with full-service restaurants, making visitors much more likely to purchase smaller artisan items to enjoy in the communal outdoor spaces.

 

Farmers Market
 

On the weekends, Railway Heights Market will host a local farmers market that starts at the entrance of the promenade and leads into the first-floor grocery store. For small businesses, this lends them the opportunity to gain exposure to visitor traffic that is entering Railway Heights Market, while giving them a chance at having a permanent location. In addition, any leftover produce can be purchased by Railway Heights Market for its ugly produce section for resale at the market during the week. Finally, in this more sustainable ecosystem, any produce not sold in the ugly produce section will be sold to Watever Fresh and other food stalls at the market.

 

General Store Concept
 

In addition to the 10 market stalls, there will be a catch-all general store section that will sell convenience items such as toothpaste, shampoo, and the like. The grocery at Railway Heights Market will also feature a selection of ugly produce and a zero-waste bulk goods section, both of which will be easy ways for shoppers to reduce the environmental impact of their purchases. It is a mutually beneficial relationship with market-stall produce vendors: any produce that is not sold will be purchased and distributed by the grocery store. Identifying an operator who has experience with perishable inventory and managing large teams will be a critical component of the ground floor. 

 

Coffee Shop & Roastery
 

A coffee shop and roastery will roast coffee beans daily and serve the best coffee from all over the world. 


 

Non-affiliated Creative Office Space
 

The remaining space in the first floor of the Railway Heights Market building will be creative office space that is also separate from the Railway Heights Market project.
