IDK if it's the clientele or what, but navigating HV's parking lots on foot takes Frogger to a new level. I feel the same way when walking around Rice Village. Maybe we should start doing a pedestrian Critical Mass. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBC2HTX Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Kendra Scott taking over the old space occupied by Kate Spade (next to Sweet Paris). Also, rumor on the street is Lululemon will be taking over two floors in the build out of the former Smith & Wollensky space (reported to be 4 or 5 floors). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 In my opinion, I like the small scale of Highland Village. Really it just needs a light touch and a few fixes. I would create an underground parking garage and make the surface parking lot one giant pedestrian plaza with pavilions scattered around. We don't have a lot of big pedestrian spaces that are all hardscape. Not everything has to be at the sidewalk on the street if it can do something in a unique way that creates a unique space. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJilliams Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Well, wasn't expecting this to take this spot. But the renderings are nice and it will be good to have something on this corner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never paid attention to the size of it or how many cars it can park, but there is a garage behind P.F. Chang's in the back Highland Village. If that can accommodate the current lot capacity and parking minimum, is it possible they might not even need to build an underground garage? The icing on the cake would be if they ever built the multi-use path proposed under power lines that run next to the train tracks to Memorial Park. After that, if we ever get a future connection from the Memorial to Buffalo Bayou's , you would have this shopping center connected to all of the Allen Parkway developments, Downtown, and beyond. I like to bicycle dream that all those moving parts could come together sometimes. Edited February 6, 2020 by jermh 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOH! but in other news, the Apple store looks amazing inside with the large screen wall (on one side)/mirror (on the other side) divider and the trees! OH and Z Gallerie closed a few weeks ago but the new owners of the company decided to open the Highland Village location back up so its back to normal at the Z! They just need to put the outside sign back up! and it seems Z Gallerie has closed once again...noticed last week driving by that the store was empty... oy Edited May 20, 2020 by gene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBC2HTX Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Noticed the signage today. “ A new restaurant tenant is heading to mixed-use shopping center Highland Village. Gauchos Do Sul will take over the third-floor space formerly occupied by Up restaurant at 3995 Westheimer in late March. The outpost marks the second locale of Gaucho's Do Sul. The first, which opened in 2016, is located at 126 Vintage Park Blvd. in Cypress.” https://www.chron.com/entertainment/restaurants-bars/amp/Gaucho-s-Do-Sul-steakhouse-open-Highland-Village-15068390.php 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
