IntheKnowHouston Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Hmm...how strange. When I looked to see if there was already a dedicated topic for these parcels outside of the River Oaks District topic, there was not. So, I decided to create one since this is likely no longer part of River Oaks District phase II. And after doing so, I notice a certain moderator (HT) moves @Amlaham's post from May out of the River Oaks District topic (a post I quoted) and merges it with the topic I started. I think it was mainly so the mod could change the title. He gets a power trip from changing everyone's topic title... multiple times throughout the year (which is insane). Interesting how this certain mod hasn't done the same thing to others. I've noticed others create a dedicated topic after discussions on a certain project or land, but the original post from another topic isn't merged with it. Also interesting, every time this moderator is on the forum incognito (as they always are), my account is always logged out for no reason without fail. Interesting all around. Anyways, has anyone heard of any local developers interested in these parcels? Edited October 16, 2023 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amlaham Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Flower boutique opening here. They only have locations in NY, NJ, CA, and PA, so this would be their first Texas store. These types of flowers are extremely popular, so I think they'll do well. https://www.venusetfleur.com 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a lot of Houstonians will be happy to hear Venus et Fleur and its eternal roses are coming to River Oaks District (4444 Westheimer Rd, Suite C-162). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The permit lists a "one-stop remodel, retail." Venus et Fleur is a floral and gift shop coming to River Oaks District. They are known for their eternal roses and arrangements. The shop will be located at 4444 Westheimer Rd, Suite C-162. Art gallery Yellow Korner previously occupied the space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what ever happened with that. They just opened in Dallas and are about to open in Houston. Good to see brands more willing to go to 2 Texas markets rather than battle it out like they used to. Hope Alexander McQueen eventually finds its way to Houston. It’s one of the few big names missing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 ^^^ ok, then fine. maybe, just maybe, the ROCKETMAN will now be able to finally construct the LONG-AWAITED ROD HOTEL/RESIDENCES component that we've all been waiting on. i for one, really do believe that this particular posh component is the entity that shall allow for ROD to continue to thrive and move forward into the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mixed-use development is located at 4444 Westheimer Rd. As posted earlier this week on the forum, Tilman Fertitta purchased River Oaks District. Beyond news of the buyer, the Houston Chronicle article, which was published today, doesn't provide further details about Fertitta's plans for the development. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/tilman-fertitta-buys-river-oak-district-houston-18694344.php Edited March 1 by IntheKnowHouston 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, FWIW, this purchase might be Tilman getting prepared in case of a gambling legalization to do a broader expansion in the area / build of a luxury casino resort (similar to the Adelson’s purchase of the Mav’s) Edited March 1 by Ns1021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s not gonna happen lmao! If a Fertitta restaurant will come into this it will be a Catch Restaurant i hope he doesn’t run off Steam 48 (even though it’s essentially another Mastro’s). 5 hours ago, Houston19514 said: What is Catch? There’s basically only 2 Fertitta restaurant chains that matter. Mastro’s and Catch. Those are 2 of the highest profile names in fine dining and attract celebritites. The rest are . that being said, I would’ve preferred Willie G’s be turned into a Catch instead so the 2 could be next to eachother. But I’ll still take one in ROD! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) ps... after reading this: https://www.hotelnewsresource.com/article130443.html if i didn't know any better i would think that The Post Oak Hotel and River Oaks District were next door to each other! which gave me an idea... so he buys Post Oak Corner, builds a giant observation tower (to FINALLY do something with that dang lot) and part of that huge high rise of a tower includes a luxury (of course) gondola that takes them down to ROD!!! ha!
