    No recent news.  No TDLR TABS filing.  No permits filed.  Does anyone have any inside info on this?



    The 2509 Dunlavy St property hit the market in March. There were listings on LoopNet, other CoStar sites, and CBRE's website. CBRE marketed the property on behalf of the seller.

    It appears it may be available for sale.

    Based on the architectural barriers project and limited liability company filings, Barbacana is a food and beverage concept from chef David Hernandez. Hernandez has helmed the kitchen of several Houston restaurants. I'm unsure where he worked last, but I recall he lead the kitchen at George's in West U.



    Last week, Barbacana updated its Instagram page with several posts. A profile picture was uploaded, along with a bio. The restaurant will serve Houston-inspired cuisine.

    Barbacana is located on the ground level of Bayou Lofts at 907 Franklin St. Bayou Lofts is located at 915 Franklin St.

    Does anyone know if Hearsay is opening another location  in the ground level unit at Market Square Tower? GJ Tavern previously occupied the 737 Preston St space. 

    There is a recent entity filing for Hearsay Market Square Tower, LLC. The filing seems to suggest the restaurant may open at Market Square Tower.

    Hearsay is indeed opening an outpost at Market Square Tower. The restaurant replaces GJ Tavern at 737 Preston St.

    The name of Hearsay's latest concept at 737 Preston St is either Tavern by Hearsay or Market Square Tavern by Hearsay.

    Hearsay's tavern concept replaces GJ Tavern in Market Square Tower (777 Preston St.)

    Named Maven / Maven Coffee Co., the coffee shop and cafe will be located in the lobby of the hotel. It's one of several food and beverage options opening in the hotel. The coffee shop is from Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and Juan Carlos Martinez de Aldecoa (Eximus Coffee).

    Located in The Allen mixed-use development, Maven aims to open in November (at least that's what's indicated on Maven's website and social media).

    Building permits lists the address for Maven as 1711 Allen Parkway Floor 1. However, the address on Thompson Houston's website lists 1701 Allen Parkway.

    I do appreciate that this Starbucks is seemingly leaning into a much more stay and hang vibe than so many others in the city.


    The design, at least from the outside, appears to encourage hanging out. I like it. Each location is designed to fit the needs of the area to a degree. I think the inclusion of an outdoor patio is a good idea. With the middle school across the street, I can see this being an after school hangout for the students and parents.

    I wonder if there is any accommodations for bicycles? I didn't notice it in the drawing. If there will be space for bikes, I may have overlooked it in the submitted documents.

    BUT if they maintain a good store and try to design for the space and neighborhood its not a bad thing for 11th.


    I agree.

  16. According to a Papercity article published today, "Gin Braverman’s Gin Design Group [will] assist in the remodel" of Magnol's forthcoming Heights bakery. I don't recall seeing this detail in other coverages.

    Magnol is opening a bakery and cafe in the Norhill neighborhood. It will be located at 1115 East 11th St.

    Tilman Fertitta recently acquired the 4702 Westheimer Rd and 0 Westcreek Lane parcels, according to Houston Chronicle today: 


    Fertitta announced Wednesday he closed on a 3.4-acre site at 4702 Westheimer, near his newly purchased River Oaks District... The parcel’s proximity to River Oaks District could create future expansion opportunities for the upscale mixed-use development he bought in March for $450 million.

    http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/tilman-fertitta-buys-uptown-river-oaks-post-oak-19408478.php



    In the latest Realty New Report newsletter, Ralph Bivens speculates what Tilman Fertitta may have in mind for the 3.4-acre property at 4702 Westheimer Rd:


     Fertitta bought 3.4 acres at 4702 Westheimer, next to the River Oaks District... This parcel may become the site of the first urban casino to be built in Texas in the last century or so. Combining the upscale retail and restaurants at the River Oaks District with an adjacent casino hotel sounds a revenue-generating slam dunk... If casino gaming is ever approved in Texas, Fertitta appears to be shovel-ready for a casino on Westheimer and perhaps on waterfront sites in Kemah and Galveston, as well.
