There's a plat in the system for Ly's Liquor to replat their lot (and surrounding locations, i.e. the old East End Fitness) into one plat.

Parking Variance permit submitted on behalf of Pruitt by Ironbridge Realty.

4514 LYONS AVE 77020 - Permits in to convert hospital to apartments. Not sure if this is the best place for the thread, but it's just north of I-10 so it's considered "East", right?

Looks like a cool project to follow.

I'm all for an attractive gas station.

Saw them drilling holes at 3301 Canal yesterday, maybe for soil samples.

What are soil samples used for? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure they were supposed to open like a year ago... So the fact that there's a structure is positive in my book. Lol. 

All good, yes, but odd that they're still marketing an unrealistic timeline on social media.

Remember when they said “T - 7 weeks” 11 weeks ago? An iceberg moves quicker than this.

Permit says construction of 38 single family residences so you won some brand new townhomes!

I noticed the empty retail complex at this corner is now fenced in and has a dumpster on site. Any ideas what's going on?

I don’t disagree. It has been neat to learn about some additional history from the nearby area with which I wasn’t familiar with. But even in the story Mr. Navarro presented to support the proposal, he mentioned the importance the name “Settegast” had among the people who went and played baseball there. It just seems shortsighted to record over that part of history, especially something that has endured for more than a century. 

People in the area are pissed about it. I think naming the baseball fields is appropriate, but why not pave our roads first??

Just a cool 8.1M

Weird space for a brewery. I was hoping for more spaces that made logical sense being on top of YP living (workout studio, cafe, etc).

I'm surprised we haven't heard of any leasing confirmation for the GFR yet.

There are fences up on the Jensen portion of East River property.

Interesting. There's a new waste water permit as of March by H2B Engineering, a structural engineering firm. Can't find much else. HCAD still says Pruitt and can't find any recent commercial sales in Biz Journal that would fit this description.

They could be replatting the land to sell. If it has already sold, the plat says the intent is a commercial development which would be great for this area! I can't wait for the Canal and Commerce corridors to connect the development at the East side of Commerce/Canal/Nav to the greater East End community.

I think I stand by this original statement still. The plat tracker has "Andrew Allemand" listed as the applicant, who is a representative from Iron Bridge Realty that specializes in land sales. I would expect when the lady at Pruitt the said "we've sold" was probably speaking in a similar context to that of the Olshan employee, which means the company will be moving from the property and the land will be sold, similar to the Olshan set up.

The lady at Pruitt said they'd remain on site until next August, so I wonder if this is them getting ducks in a row prior to lands sales, and to make the land more attractive to potential developers.

Ok, new guess. H2B did Buffalo Bayou Brewing, Back Pew Brewing, Karbach Brewery, Bakfish Brewing

I'll bet you this is going to be a brewery. Perfect mix of needing a bunch of un-air conditioned warehouse space along with needing some additional off-street parking. 

 

Moon Tower is kind of its own thing and they do tend to cluster. 

*asks the universe for groceries and food vendors*

I'm not convinced that's the full reno. H2B Engineering is the design firm behind Heights Mercantile, Buff Bayou Brewing, a few other retail spots, one truck yard location and a few country clubs and theaters. The lady at Pruitt said they'd maintain operations on the property until August 2022, I'm curious what purpose this reno would serve in the interim?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for a mixed use facility like Heights Mercantile.
