Smart move switching from Maison Robert to Hotel Daphne.  The odds of people using the French pronunciation of Robert (Roe Bare, but with French Rs which are different at the beginning of a word and in the middle) successfully are pretty slim and using the English pronunciation of Robert makes it sound silly such that it may as well be Maison Kevin.  

I am kinda pumped for this now... and LOVE that its got a big ole patio!

Really awesome details and pics @hindesky

A while back I had read that this will be the restaurant group's main commissary for baked goods and "fat" (craft) ice.

If only there was a way to engineer multi-modal infrastructure that allowed for safe transit for cars, bikes, and pedestrians! 

But real talk, I think it was gonna be a mid rise - like 6 stories or so and all just doctors offices. It was a super odd pitch for the lot and location. And from the renderings not pretty and stuck out like a sore thumb.

So a for sale sign has popped up in front of the former Wilde Collection - a lot of bulk trash was left out on the curb facing Yale last fall and it’s been empty from a parking standpoint- so this recent sale sign tracks.

Very curious what takes its place.

Oh that’s super interesting. I kinda dig it.

Lotta exterior work has been done and the place is looking much fresher!

Anyone hear any more details on Incanto?

Interesting! Great info - now the question is where will we get hot chicken on Shepherd?!

Diggin the green space. IN the universe of Houston town houses - these are great.

LOVE IT.

Kinda shocking but it felt like it took forever to get that space (and really all of the Stomping Grounds up and running which does sound like was a huge stresser for these businesses.

SOOOOO excited for this. They are just such a great shop in their current and original spot. Great food, local brands, and awesome food.

Henderson & Kane provided an updated opening timeline yesterday. The local general store and barbecue restaurant is debuting another location later in the year at Houston Farmers Market.

The address for Henderson & Kane's Heights location is 2520 Airline Dr, Suite 500.



"We've been dreaming big and it's all about 2023! Look for our upcoming location at the Houston Farmer's Market! Very excited to be joining Wild Oaks, Underbelly Burger, Crawfish & Noodles, and R-C Ranch later this summer!"

This is exciting! Do we think Coffee Shop? Or does beverage station mean drive thru daiquiris?

I always wondered if a donut shop was the best use for this property... guess we now know.

!) Thank you as always @hindesky for images and great work. 2) UGH oil change places and another dental office...

I dont hate it... I dig the reuse of conex containers.

Very excited to try - the Midtown location is just LOVELY

So guessing it’s this music academy… https://www.vivaldimusicacademy.com/

While Houston has no zoning, the Chicken Districting is very specific.  Shep/Durhan is a chicken sandwich district.  Ella is a chicken finger district.  This is why Layne's is going in across the street from Raising Cane's.  

 

Whoa whoa whoa - all fried chicken is supposed to be on Shepherd/Durham. WHO ALLOWED THIS WITH CITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT?!

1331 N Durham Dr is home to used car dealership David Morgin Credit Inc. 

A few days ago, county records indicate the property changed hands. Mohsin Momin purchased the lot (1331 N Durham LLC). Momin owns / or is a franchisee of several Izzi Market convenience stores in the Houston area. The stores are companion retail to some Chevron gas stations in the city, mostly in and around the Greater Heights area.

There's a chance the lot may be used for another Izzi Market and Chevron combo. 

Uuuuuuugggghhhhhhh

Yeah thats 100% a new single family home. Such a great lot - really diggin the love they have applied to adding to some of the OG concrete structure.

Oh I kinda love this

They did this building justice. Great colors, design, everything.

I so agree! The full landscaping is gorgeous and today I saw decor being loaded inside. Last big item(s) seem to be the deck/patio and the front door. I loved and no doubt will still miss Down House but the Goode folks are clearly doing this space right and sparing no expense. VERY excited to be a neighbor to this...
