Very excited to see this happen... live near BBVA stadium and walk past this area several times a week (well I did back when life was normal and stuff was open) going back and forth from EaDo and Downtown... will be fun watching this thing go up. The Marriott Marquis is, unfortunately for them, definitely gonna lose a big chunk of their "downtown view" from the pool deck.

It's really looking great so far!

Went once while it was open. The food was good (not great but good) but the service was very odd... you ordered at a counter when you walked in (normally this is where you would also pay) but you paid at the table like a normal restaurant. I don't know I just remember being confused with the service.

"The property is 94% leased to a diverse roster of industry- leading, high-credit tenants with a 10.6 year weighted average lease term."
Wow 94% leased... that's impressive... I didn't think it was that much.

Fantastic news for the Theater District. Really looking forward to seeing this project take shape.

What is The District? I can't find anything about it.
Was about to ask the same thing. How did I miss this?

"When it is finished, The Preston will be the tallest apartment building downtown."
Tallest apartment building in Houston... correct?

Thanks for pointing us to those new renderings. Architecturally it’s better than expected, and from what I can tell it will front Hutchins and Leeland with no parking on those sides, which should help promote pedestrian traffic on this streets.
Not bad (aside from the sea of parking, but that was probably inevitable).
Agree. The parking was inevitable but I am really digging the actual look of the place.

I have a friend who lives across the street and he spoke with one of the workers who confirmed it's going to be a BBQ restaurant.

Fingers crossed they do something... that building has been such an eyesore for so long.

Yet another great new addition to Eado... 🥐
"Koffeteria, a new bakery from Top Chef contestant Vanarin Kuch, will open its doors in EaDo this fall. The former Tiny Boxwoods pastry chef tells Eater that his new pastry destination will debut at 1110 Hutchins Street, Suite 102, later this fall (late October)."

Silver Lining is busy for happy hour. I’ll post photos later this evening.
Wonder if people will get fired for drinking during work hours.
Great ... may try and swing by on Sunday evening to check things out.

1 hour ago, bobruss said:I'm all for the Galleria uptown area becoming more walkable, but one of it's main faults just like the city's, is that it's hard to overcome an area that was designed for the car and not pedestrians. Angostura said it very succinctly. The area just wasn't planned to become what it has become. Parking lots kill walks. You can only look at parked cars for so long before it gets monotonous. Once the trees mature it will help, and once that giant strip center on Post Oak and Westheimer gets turned into a mixed use multi tower development hopefully with residential, retail and office components maybe a movie theater or how about a nice park. That would help immensely.
Fortunately there is a movement to try and rectify this, but it won't be easy. It will still have acres of asphalt parking lots major thoroughfares with multi lane congestion, and it will take time for all of the trees to develop a canopy that will help immensely and give more shade to those who will walk.
I agree it's getting better, but its just starting at such a disadvantage. It's impressive how much has been done in the Galleria to make it more livable and it will only get better. Remember not that long ago there were farms on much of this property.
I just like the closeness of the buildings and the grid of the streets downtown a little more. I also like the the blend of old and new in architecture.
This is the main reason I chose Downtown/EaDo over Uptown when I moved a few years back. When I think of Uptown I think of traffic, parking lots and busy boulevards.... oh and more traffic. Love Downtown's density.
