Noticed the signage today.
“A new restaurant tenant is heading to mixed-use shopping center Highland Village.
Gauchos Do Sul will take over the third-floor space formerly occupied by Up restaurant at 3995 Westheimer in late March. The outpost marks the second locale of Gaucho's Do Sul. The first, which opened in 2016, is located at 126 Vintage Park Blvd. in Cypress.”

The always-empty East Hampton must be getting a sweetheart deal from ROD. I'm surprised they're still around given how fast they exited their montrose location.
East Hampton locked out. Only surprise is that it didn’t happen before COVID.

What’s going in there? Surely not Willy G’s as it’s in the PO Hotel development

Any entrepreneurs with a proclivity for caffeine would make a lot of money on a local coffee shop in Upper Kirby/RO/HV

River Oaks/Highland Village also need coffee shops. Only option is Starbucks.

It actually looks like your southern fence line won’t be completely obstructed.

Buffalo Bayou and White Oak were insane yesterday. Felt like I was in Central Park with the amount of people I had to dodge.

My initial thought tho is that all these entities, Uptown Park, Galleria, the Whole Foods Development, the Dicks strip, etc, are possessive enough about their parking that I don't know how happy they will be that people will park at their place, initially go into their store, do some shopping, put stuff in the car, and then get on the bus to go to another development.
The idea is that people will park at either of the transit centers bookending the BRT line.

New tenants:
Moreau Paris
Zadig + Voltaire
Zimmeermann
Chopard has vacated, and The Avant Garden (florist) bowed out from its corner space across from Toulouse. Unsurprisingly, the test-store didn't pan out.

I've been to NH 3 times, once before the shift in concept. My thoughts are that the pivot was for the best as I was way more likely to go back for the second vibe and menu, which was a lot like a tamed down coltivare.

Nearby, Night Heron is ready to call it quits and is just waiting for someone else to sublease the space before closing.
-
Target filling the former Shepherd Square Randall's space.

That was reported in the December issue of Paper City magazine... "The second experiential Lululemon flagship the first is in Chicago). Will include a café. http://papercitymagazine.uberflip.com/i/1188752-december-2019-houston/27?Nice 👍🏼

Kendra Scott taking over the old space occupied by Kate Spade (next to Sweet Paris).
Also, rumor on the street is Lululemon will be taking over two floors in the build out of the former Smith & Wollensky space (reported to be 4 or 5 floors).

To be fair, JP Morgan Chase owns the corner portion of the intersection so BB&B property would be analogous to Novel River Oaks and Cadence bank on Westheimer/Willowick. The intersection will really take off once HEB is complete.
The Beck's Prime lot is a little over a quarter acre and has been appraised at $1.19 million from 2016 - 2019 on HCAD.

I don't disagree about cyclists. I was just offering my thoughts on the scooters... I did not ride them as we were downtown within walking distance to everything we went to. They look like they would be fun to ride but the way they were just strewn about carelessly on corners and the middle of walkways left a bad taste in my mouth. Like with anything else, the bad apples ruin it for the rest of the responsible users. I would be a lot more open to the idea if there was a quicker turn around on the collection process.
They're collected every night by organized freelancers/contractors and placed neatly on the sidewalks by morning. In my experience there's always a few wayward users who leave them where they shouldn't be, but for the most part users are conscious about parking them in the right place.

I view a Nike store the same as Apple stores. They're a destination shopping experience in and of themselves that people are willing to travel for and would increase traffic for adjacent tenants.
ROD has a lot of prime spaces that are vacant (see the former Tom Ford space), but they seem to have a leasing strategy/team that is struggling to compete with HV and The Galleria.

The only ideas that make sense start with total demolition.
I propose it be made into some sort of outdoor venue, like a large amphitheater for concerts. As an example, see the renovations for the Pacific Amphitheater at OC fairgrounds. This will add greenspace, and compliment other programming within NRG park/stadium, particularly during the Rodeo.

Bold prediction.... Ocean 48 (steak 48 sister restaurant) going in here.
Houston needs a Nike store though.

'EaDo' is bad enough, but 'East Village', too? Seriously?
I suppose I should be grateful they're not calling it the French Quarter, but still. This is overreaching to a ludicrous extent.East village is just the name of the development.

I hope they don't change too much about the interior of Conservatory, I rather liked it. Strange that a food hall would just up and move like that, but I guess a food hall is just essentially another restaurant when it comes to leasing space in a building.
I believe the owners of Finn Hall also own the conservatory. So my guess is they wanted to avoid cannibalization.

Given the description of the different atrium's, the anchor tenant is either a co-working space operator, a food-hall operator, or a music venue operator. Seems like the retail portion is intended to be experimental retail/pop-up shops rather than major tenants (similar to Chelsea Market in NYC).
