    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this is a shared garage, but people complaining about parking in Houston is not going to get any less ridiculous any time soon. Even when I lived in Avondale, the absolute worst experience I had with parking was that I had to park a 5 minute walk away. Big freaking deal.

     

    Per the Community Impact article last September:

    In addition to Montrose Collective's two mixed-use buildings, Radom plans to construct a five-story, 580-space parking garage, which includes one basement level, Radom said. About 100 spaces will be open to the public, although that number is not finalized, and 25 will be free spaces for library patrons. The remaining spaces will be reserved for Montrose Collective visitors, Radom said.

    Montrose Collective will contain the former Freed-Montrose library, though it's unknown at this time what its new name will be, if it will have a new name.

     

     

    Montrose Collective, a mixed-use development set to house the relocated Freed-Montrose library, has broken ground, according to a press release. 

     

    The project, by Houston-based Radom Capital and designed by Austin-based Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, will span 100,000 square feet of office space, 50,000 square feet of retail space and 10,000 square feet of library space across four buildings. It will include six restaurants and 15 retail spaces, both first-to-market and local. The project is estimated to be completed late 2021 and is located at the 800 block of Westheimer Road.

     

    “Montrose has always been Houston’s epicenter for art, the birthplace of our cafe and counter-culture, and one of our most open and complete neighborhoods," Radom Managing Principal Steve Radom said in the release.  “We envisioned Montrose Collective as a public space that respects the existing context, weaving together community gathering spaces and porous buildings that welcome neighbors and guests.”  

     

    The entire Collective will consist of three new constructions and two repurposed historic buildings. This project is the fifth collaboration between Radom and Hsu – one such past project is the M-K-T in the Heights. 

     

    “We worked to infuse the creative character and energy of the Montrose neighborhood into every aspect of the design,” Michael Hsu, founder and principal of Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, said in the release.

     

    The ground level of the project will include cafes, retail and boutique fitness, while the upper floor will have office, beauty and service businesses, along with the library. The library will have an outdoor planted reading terrace, children’s programming and new technology. It will have onsite property management, structured parking and 24-hour security. 

     

    Current tenants at the space, per its website, include Rosemont, Southside Espresso and Hue Salon. 

     

    “Our team emphasized wellness as a project goal, combining planted patios with abundant energy-efficient glazing,” Evan Peterson, development director of Radom Capital, said in the release.  “We also believe that great placemaking requires differentiation and texture, so we included public art, exposed structural members and warm shaded soffits to create a uniquely layered urban environment.”

     

    Other firms on the project are the Office of James Burnett, landscape architect; HOK, structural engineer; Kimley-Horn, civil engineering; DBR, mechanical, engineering and plumbing; DE Harvey Builders, project contractor; JLL, capital market services; and CBRE, office leasing. 

     

    Buildings such as the former Theo’s Greek Restaurant at 812 Westheimer Road have closed to make room for Montrose Collective.
