    There's a ground-floor retail space available on the Travis side of the parking garage. This is likely a small theater for comedy shows and improv.

    Their exterior signs are up now.

    Beer Market Co. is being replaced by d'Alba. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-25-22-dalba-craft-kitchen-cocktails-new-location-midtown-beer-market-daut-elshani-geoff-hundt/

    That sounds like authentic metropolitan ambiance to me.

    Since the last update, stormwater detention and driveways have been added. Work has started on the townhomes as well. I was told by a neighbor that the car dealership at McIlhenny & Caroline (Delta Auto Alliance) will be moving into the former warehouse across the street. I never noticed one, but I guess there's a roll-up door somewhere to get the cars inside the building. Reminder of the site plan:

    The lot has always been surprisingly full even when there was only a couple employees and minimal customers. Maybe a neighboring property has a park share agreement.

    The website lists 2606 Fannin as retail.

    Placing the majority of the parking in one garage is actually extremely well thought out. Adding parking into each block is difficult to undo. However, a mammoth parking garage can be demolished if user demand shifts toward public transit, or remain if Houston continues as a car-centric city.

    Barkley's, the dog bar at 2300 Louisiana St, has announced that they are permanently closed. According to their social media post, a new concept called Hadley Icehouse will follow at that location.

    Couldn't find another topic to put this in. The Sacco Company store (part of the building at San Jacinto & McIlhenny) that recently burned is in the midst of remediation. Crews have been working there daily and all other building tenants have had their leases terminated. It appears the whole building will be remodeled.

    Rose Gold Lounge at 2301 Main appears to be in the middle of a remodel. Any word on what this might become? @IntheKnowHouston

    Wow. So happy he has a permanent home there. Those mini bundt cakes are delicious.

    That pool deck has to be constantly covered in a layer of cement dust.

    Reminder of what this will look like:

    Relevant bits: Houston real estate firm Concept Neighborhood plans to convert more than four blocks of mostly historic properties into a destination filled with hyperlocal businesses, boutique retail, restaurants and small office spaces. Construction is set to begin in late 2022 on the redevelopment of the roughly 80-year-old buildings that once housed the oil and gas equipment manufacturer W-K-M.

    They didn't block me from reading it: Midway announced additional retail tenants: El Condor Coffee Roasters - a New York City-based coffee shop and all-day café, will open its first Texas location in a 1,500-square-foot space in the East River 1 office building. Tomi Jewelry, a Houston-based, Asian-American woman-owned jewelry line, will open its first brick-and-mortar store on the ground floor of The Laura apartment building. The 880-square-foot boutique will overlook East Rivers’ central plaza. Previously announced (phase 1): Broham Fine Soul Food & Groceries Lick Honest Ice Creams URBN Dental Riverhouse Houston, a restaurant and patio bar overlooking Buffalo Bayou and downtown Event venue and rooftop bar from the owners of The Astorian New office tenants: Method Architecture Teal Construction Impact Networking

    I would love to hear a realtor try to explain the market for a property in the center of an apocalyptic hellscape. The current highest and best use for this building is as a budget-friendly filming location for a zombie movie. Asking price does not set the market, the sales price does (kind of).

    This is such a strange place for a bar/lounge. A bodega or cafe would have been awesome.
  20. phillip_white
    The real indicator will be how long it takes to sell at that price.

    I agree that this is one level above a paid parking lot, but it is an activated placeholder until market value necessitates development. I think the owners are playing the wait and see game with the auctioned Caydon lots, which makes me happy they didn't put more money into this because it's meant to be temporary.

    One of the permits mentioned single family home as well as showroom. Either way, this will be a hip addition to the neighborhood. The container apartments in 3rd ward are a cool quirky spot.

    I thought there was a topic for this, but I cannot find it. The lot across Fannin from Drewery Place with the "Downtown Yard" signage appears to be nearing completion. There were three food truck parked there yesterday, but only one was open.

    From Google street view, this strip on the west side of the building appears to be the parking lot entrance.

    Couldn't find a thread for this anywhere else. Anyone heard anything? From the permit, it sounds like they are going to build a model unit/sales office. https://glasscontainerhomes.com/
