Hmm.  Interesting!  HCAD mailing address for 502 Elgin is the same as the mailing address for Joe's Car Wash on Montrose.  

No clue what kind of article this is, but I see a notice for a TABC permit application for a bar called Joe's Place with the same address.  The article is from April 2020.

The Weingarten Estate was relisted "as is" with a $3.2M asking price and an estimate of $800k-$1M to complete.

I get my hair cut at Blue Mambo in that retail center and my hairdresser told me a few months back it (Chelsea Market) was under contract to an apartment developer and they were not renewing leases for any tenants.  I went again this last week and apparently the deal has closed because Blue Mambo will be moving in November.

As far as the original thread, my hairdresser did say that it had previously been under contract a few years back but the deal fell out.  

This article by The Leader says it's being renovated.

Renovations now underway off Yale
July 5, 2018 by Landan Kuhlmann Leave a Comment

Development – and redevelopment – has been a staple in the Heights for some time now.

And while Heights Central Station has drawn much of the recent attention, there is another center near it primed for gentrification.

Just off Yale Street between 13th and 14th Street sits a former strip center that S & P Interests is leasing for the property owner. The 16,000-square-foot building at 1307 Yale St. is underway, and according to the company, an interior demolition has already occurred, with plans for an exterior facelift in the works as well.

The last remaining lease – a long-standing small Mexican bakery – just vacated the premises in April, clearing the way for a full-speed-ahead process. As of press time, the company was unable to disclose any potential tenants signing on due to ongoing negotiations.

“The landlord will use their best efforts to provide the Heights another high-quality neighborhood shopping center with various retail and service uses,” the company said.

S & P tentatively hopes to deliver the building for tenant build-out in the 4th quarter of 2018.

For any leasing information or inquiries, potential tenants can email jsebesta@spinterests.com.

I think this site was discussed here:  

That's awesome!  Not boring at all.  Glad the mirror didn't cause any trips to the ER!  It sounds like the house is coming along nicely.  I'm sure it has been hard, but also rewarding work!  Good luck with the stairs and upstairs bath.  Thanks for the update!

I heard the Creek Group bought it.  But that had to be close to two years ago.  

How are the renovations going?  Would love an update!

The dateline on the Chron article is actually February 7.  They like to recycle news.

When I click to read the " Morgan to Start Construction on Luxury Apartment Project in Houston" release I get an Error Message.

Awesome!  And this is a totally random idea, but maybe you could glue a tarp to the mirror and then try to pry it off?  Hopefully the tarp would hold all the pieces together.  

That's so cool!  We've been looking for a place over there, but haven't had any luck yet.  I love the area and would love to check out what you're working on!

My question is, who owns that corner lot in front of the tower at the corner of Post Oak and the feeder road...an old abandoned bank is there i believe.

that place has been an eye sore forever and i cannot believe that Tillman is allowing that ugliness to be part of the border of his property...anyone know of any plans for that site?

 

Is this the site?

Interested to see if anyone else follows development in Waco.  There's quite a bit of development on the west side of I-35 between Baylor and downtown.  Chime in if you have any interest!  

Noticed an Aloft hotel is proposed to be built near a planned La Quinta del Sol prototype.

Also there's been talk of a riverfront development for quite some time.

County Clerk records show the entire block sold in July 2015 with a note of $5.7M.

I just saw this Culture Map article from last month that recaps an event held there and refers to it as Central Post as well.

"More than 400 guests got a taste of what makes a number of emerging Houston businesses unique at a Market gathering hosted by NextSeed co-founders Youngro Lee, Abraham Chu, and Robert Dunton at Central Post, a landmark that once housed the downtown post office and is now being developed into a 14-acre mixed use center."

I'm thinking it's new info.  They broke the location change, so they had to have confirmed the venue name.

According to an article about Day for Night posted by Paper City today, the post office site will be called Central Post.

So, back to the hunt for where the Northbank project will be!

Only thing I could find was the owner.  Looks like they're associated with gas stations.
