  6. Recently, the Leader reported on the purchase of Ella Plaza by Braun Enterprises. Area residents expressed their excitement on social media about the potential for major improvements to the space as well as additional tenants. John Crawford wrote on the Oak Forest Homeowners Association Facebook page: “Braun is a quality developer. This is definitely good news for the neighborhood.” While Dan Braun said that they will wait to actively market the plaza once their plans are firmly in place, renovations will hopefully start before the end of the year. “The city is backed up and it will take a while to get the permits,” he said. As for keeping the retro Ella Plaza sign, Braun said that they’d like to but are unsure at the present time if the city codes will allow it. “We also have the same problem at 4721 N. Main. The city codes don’t allow for keeping a lot of the old signs if you make any changes other than changing out the panels. We will certainly try.” With several area developments in the Heights, including the spot where the Heights General Store is now located and Yale Street Center with its Yale Street Grill, Braun is familiar with the changing demographics of the Leader area. In the hunt for tenants for his developments, Braun said they generally choose qualified and local regional groups over larger chains. He cites Torchy’s at Harolds as an example, saying that they also had interest from national chains for the location. “We will do our best to find a tenant mix that fits well with the neighborhood,” said Braun of the 30,000 square foot space. “There will probably be a combination of local and regional tenants.”

  11. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2014/07/houston-chronicle-to-move-into-state-of-the-art-facility/ Executives anticipate an 18-month timeline for the move, which will include a significant renovation of the future space, the former Houston Post building at the 610 Loop/Southwest Freeway interchange. “We are excited about creating a state-of-the-art media facility as part of the Houston cityscape,” Paul Barbetta, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Houston Chronicle Media Group, said in a statement. “As we have changed with the industry, we feel a facility housing all employees across our diverse capabilities, including print, digital media and agency consulting services will allow us to better serve our readers and advertisers.” Plans call for transforming the 21-acre site, which contains more than 440,000 square feet of building space. The property housed the Houston Post until April 1995, when that newspaper closed and its assets were sold to the Hearst Corp., parent company of the Houston Chronicle. The Chronicle’s 10-story downtown building at 801 Texas houses 473 employees. A little more than 500 employees work in the southwest facility. “Our goal is not only to have the finest technology in place for our clients and employees, but to have a workplace that is recognized as a destination for the country’s top talent,” said Barbetta, who added that a portion of the newsroom will remain in downtown Houston to support local coverage of business and government.

  20. 1) I would like at least two anchor stores in downtown for example -Macy's -Target 2) I would also love two specialty grocery stores to help the increase residential population my preference would be -Trader Joe's -Fresh Market 3) I think downtown also needs retail stores for example H&M, apple and sephora to bring more competition in Downtown Houston
