From The Leader today:
They (Shayn Robinson and his father-in-law, John Ferguson) plan to open New Magnolia Brewing Co. in the late summer or early fall at 1616 Bevis St. in Shady Acres.
“We’ve had a good time with it,” Ferguson said.
The upcoming brewery, which sits on a 1-acre plot of land that will provide ample parking and patio space on both sides of the under-construction taproom, will add to an exploding craft beer scene in the area. There are 10 other breweries in the Heights, Garden Oaks and Oak Forest area, with Astral Brewing and Walking Stick Brewing Co. having opened within the last six months.
The newest addition pays homage to Houston’s beer-making roots. Robinson said the New Magnolia name is a tribute to the original Magnolia Brewery, which Hugh Hamilton operated in the city from the late 1800s until shortly before Prohibition in 1920.
“...Once we dug into it, we said, ‘We just can’t pick a name off the street. We just can’t come up with some whimsical, carefree name. We need something that’s Houston strong, Houston deep,’ ” Robinson said. “We did the research, and nobody had trademarked or kept the Magnolia brewing (name). They abandoned it in 1973.”

Liberty Kitchen is opening its Garden Oaks location in June.
From Houston Chronicle:
The F.E.E.D TX restaurant group is getting ready to open another Liberty Kitchen and the lucky neighborhood will be Garden Oaks.
Liberty Kitchen Garden Oaks, the fourth store in the Liberty brand in Houston, is announcing a mid-June opening at 3715 Alba in the former Gerland's Grocery. And another Liberty is also in the works at 936 Bunker Hill in the Treehouse building owned by MetroNational; it is scheduled to open in early September.
The Garden Oaks store, which seats 140 inside and 32 on the patio, will feature a full bar with 17 seats, a large "exhibition-style" oyster bar with seven seats and a private dining room that accommodates up to 26 guests. The look of the restaurant is clean, crisp and casual with pops of Kelly green similar to Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette in River Oaks.

From Houston Chronicle yesterday:
Another brewery is moving into one of Houston's transitioning urban neighborhoods. Shady Acres will soon be the recipient of New Magnolia Brewery.
The city recently approved a building permit to convert a 7,500-square-foot warehouse at 1616 Bevis St., just east of White Oak Bayou, into the brewery's home.
The new spot will add to Houston's 14 craft breweries and 50 craft brewpubs, according to Houston Beer Guide.
The original Magnolia Brewery was downtown at 715 Frankin. The building was the first commercial building in the city to receive the Houston Protected Landmark designation in 2006. It was built in 1893 and redesigned in 1911 for the Houston Ice and Brewing Co., which brewed the Magnolia and Southern Select beers.

More on Local Group Brewing, the Houston brewery at 1504 Chapman.
From a job post:
https://www.ziprecruiter.com/c/Local-Group-Brewing/Job/Restaurant-Chef/-in-Houston,TX?ojob=474bf346a5ec30e745786d4206e73ccc
Local Group Brewing Houston, TXWho we are
Local Group Brewing is a brewery that is currently in the final stages of planning. We are a few weeks away from filing permits and starting the renovation of our building. Inside of the building there will be a kitchen/seating space for an aspiring chef or restaurant to create an experience that will complement the brewery/taproom.
Position Summary
We are looking for a chef and/or restaurant that can create and serve food that will complement our fresh beer. For the right individual, we will consider someone who is a first time restaurateur. The business will be separate from the brewery, although some collaboration and cooperation is required. The brewery owns the restaurant space so we are flexible on lease terms, the opportunity for a partnership, and build out costs.

Liberty Kitchen is expanding to Oak Forest. The new location is 3715 Alba.
The backstory from The Leader in January 2015:
It’s true. Miguel Facundo confirmed the word that’s been circulating on the Oak Forest Homeowners Association Facebook page and elsewhere in the last 48 hours – the Liberty Kitchen group signed a five year lease last week (with an option to go longer) on his Garden Oaks property on Alba across from the American Legion. Previously Facundo was going to operate his own restaurant there, but said he wanted to focus on his home construction business after Facundo Café closed at Dr Gleem Car Wash.
Facundo said he got interest from more than a few restaurateurs regarding the space but that he was looking for a really good restaurant and thinks that the F.E.E.D. TX restaurant group will help the neighborhood “continue to go in the right direction.” He said that the coastal craftsman look he was going for with the design is right in line with Liberty’s vibe. No word yet from F.E.E.D. about their specific plans for the spot.
It took two years of the permitting process for Facundo to complete the building. He said that he is building out the interior for F.E.E.D. and doing some landscaping too, but that he hopes to have his part of the project done by April. F.E.E.D. will handle the kitchen build out.
From Houston Chronicle May 2015:
Liberty Kitchen Garden Oaks, 3715 Alba: The company hopes to take possession of the building in the summer and open a restaurant similar in size to the Heights Liberty Kitchen (100-120 seats).

More on Washington Office Co., the co-working space opening on the second floor of 1919 Washington Ave.
From Houston Business Journal in January:
Washington Avenue's first coworking space is scheduled to open in February and, in typical Houston fashion, is being opened by a former oil and gas professional.
Matt Arceneaux, alongside Ian Clemons, will open Washington Office Co. at 1923 Washington Ave., right above the Washington Gym and the cocktail bar Julep. The property at 1919 Washington Ave. is being redeveloped by Houston-based firms Baker Katz LLC and Braun Enterprises, and has been under renovation since 2016.
The project has been in the works for around three years, Arceneaux said, and was born from the needs he had as an energy employee working around Houston.

From Swamplot, on the warehouse at 1504 Chapman in Houston:
Here’s the next target in Houston’s continuing warehouse-to-brewery turnover trend: 1504 Chapman St. A group of local brewers got their hands on the 6,283-sq.-ft. building — pictured above from the south — in April and a budding Facebook page now shows its address as the location of a venue they’re calling Local Group Brewing.
It’s within the same general parish as St. Arnold’s recently-opened beer cathedral and existing brewery. They’re both less than half a mile away on the other side of the former Union Pacific brownfield pictured below, now giving rise to the complex of mixed-use buildings dubbed Hardy Yards

From Houston Business Journal this morning:
A little over a year ago, two Houston-area developers scooped up an historic property on Washington Avenue with plans to renovate. Though the property's vacant space hasn't been leased yet, more details on the developers' plans for the building were revealed.
The second floor of the historic, 17,000-square-foot property at 1919 Washington Avenue will likely contain co-working space, Jason Baker and Kenneth Katz of Baker Katz shared with the Houston Business Journal. It would be one of the first co-working concepts in the Heights and Washington Avenue corridor. So far, most of Houston's newest co-working concepts have been concentrated in the city's downtown core or sprinkled throughout the suburbs.

More from Houston Business Journal about Baker Katz and Braun Enterprises' redevelopment of 1919 Washington Avenue:
A joint venture between two Houston-based retail developers – Braun Enterprises and Baker Katz LLC – recently scooped up a two-story building located at 1919 Washington Ave. The companies opted to partner together on the acquisition rather than compete for it.
"We found out we were pursuing the same asset," Jason Baker with Baker Katz told the Houston Business Journal. Baker and Dan Braun, president of Braun Enterprises, have been close friends for the past 15 or 20 years, they said, and this is the first property they've purchased together.
The building, which is 17,000 square feet, contains 12,905 square feet of available space. One of the building's two tenants is Julep, a popular cocktail bar. Before any leasing begins, though, the building's interiors will be renovated. Baker envisions a restaurant on the ground floor of the building, and a high-end non-traditional retail user on the second floor, such as a salon. The space could also be used for a boutique firm or architect's office, he said.
"Frankly, with the building being the age that it is, it needs a lot of TLC, particularly on the second floor," Baker said. "We love the idea of adaptive reuse and preservation. There are places around the country where these buildings are really sought after, and Houston, unfortunately, has a reputation for tearing down and rebuilding a new product."
For Braun Enterprises, this further solidifies its commitment to the Washing Avenue and Heights areas. The developer has acquired roughly 20 properties in the area, Braun said, including a 1.2-acre tract of land at 2401 N. Shepherd Dr. just last week.
"This is our fourth project on Washington Avenue, and for us, it’s more about the belief in East Washington and its proximity to downtown, the Heights and Montrose," Braun said. "There's a kind of uniqueness and coolness – this 'cool factor' – of being in that east Washington corridor. I just love the feel of that area."
