Triton Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Man Reddit has a bunch of a-holes on it. Can't even post info there without getting killed. Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "confirmed" but cmon it's so obvious. At least it's a lot more civil here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "confirmed" but cmon it's so obvious. At least it's a lot more civil here. Got a link? I looked around on Reddit and could only find a single page with no comments on it (https://www.reddit.com/r/houston/comments/4ailmb/heb_coming_to_washington_ave_see_second_page/) I don't think it's "obvious" until some concrete information is made available. After all, there was actual news in 2003 that H-E-B was going to build a store on the Southwest Beltway, and 12 years later, H-E-B delivered...with a Joe V's Smart Shop. There's also the possibility that the map was just misplaced, since it didn't say that H-E-B was "coming soon" specifically. I mean, Midway's brochure for Century Square shows a small map of the Northgate vicinity and places the location of the Rise on the properties that hold Taco Bell and McDonald's (the Rise is next door). In all honesty, I don't know what kind of reception you got on Reddit, and while I don't approve of Internet assholery, I think they have every right to be suspicious.

They absolutely have every right to be suspicious but it just got completely out of hand over there... making me out to be some bad guy. I've never seen that amount of assholes in my life. Anyway, who cares what happens over there. Much prefer this community. IronTiger, no I deleted it. I'll let someone else post it over there. Love the Houston subreddit and I've contributed a bunch of stuff over there...kinda shocked how it went over there Edited March 15, 2016 by Triton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Although HEB may or may not happen here, just thought I'd point out the HEB South Flores Market in downtown SA in case anyone wasn't aware. 12,000 sq foot store, with 47 parking spaces, a 12 slot bike rack, an outdoor patio, and an 8 bay gas station. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Quote San Antonio-based H-E-B Grocery Co. has confirmed to Houston Business Journal that it is in talks to open a grocery store on a prime plot of land in the Heights area. "We are still in the talking stages. We do not have anything solidified," saidCyndy Garza-Roberts, director of public affairs for H-E-B. "(We've) been in discussion for that site for months."

If they can make a multifloor concept work here, we can avoid a huge lot and have a garage instead. I hope they aren't stubborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctaf Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hasn't HEB done a more urban style store in San Antonio, or at least something with a garage? I might be thinking of something that was only proposed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skooljunkie Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I have limited intelligence on this one, but I figured I would share. I've heard second hand that residents in the NW corner were given ample notice a few months back to find new apartments because their leases will not be renewed. After I heard this, I got to thinking...survey stakes went up around the Heights/Washington corner a few weeks ago. Maybe it's nothing...or maybe it's something? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ksab Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Spoke with a lady who works in the office, she said its been sold but won't see any developments until 2017. Said it'll be "office/retail/residential". It'll be interesting whatever it is! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skooljunkie Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Here's a pic of the first visible sign of progress here since the Dickson St. abandonment sign was put up last year. It looks like utilities and trees are being marked. Not in the pic: all the utility boxes in the way of the proposed extension of Leverkuhn St. are marked up and staked off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angostura Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hadn't seen this posted anywhere, but the lease memorandum signed by HEB for this site has some site plans in it. The store will be sited on the NW corner of the property, at Heights & Washington. A little over 90,000 s.f. ground level, with parking on the 2nd floor, and what looks like four floors of apartments above that. Looks like additional retail is slated for "Zone B" adjacent to HEB.

HEB Heights&Washington.pdf Quite impressive. I am in favor of the phased approach. I believe that the HEB and apartments will be a huge success. I will surely be a customer there. I would even bet that the success of this would promote the other phases, with less risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) HA! Laughing at all the people on Nextdoor and Reddit who told me they had strong connections with HEB heads and that HEB had no plans to build here. BOO-YAH! The Braun document was a big revelation but it was probably released too soon. Edited November 4, 2016 by Triton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still... wow! I wonder what the timetable is. Thought the same thing, if for no other reason than to match the setback of the new apartments immediately to the south. Midtown is in a transit corridor, so setback requirements are different, but there's a lot of legacy zero-setback property on Washington, so a variance wouldn't be out of the question. I haven't seen a timetable announced, but I'd guess mid-2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Also worth remembering that Whole Foods in downtown Austin has a huge parking lot setback, and nobody complains about that store and what it has done for the area. I hate to see compromise at such a key intersection, but if I were investing my money in such a low foot-traffic area, I would want the parking strip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Anyone else get the feeling we're going to need another traffic-light intersection at either Raymond St or Willia St? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If the beer/wine prop fails next week expect long waits to turn left from southbound Heights onto Washington once this store opens in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Sorry guys, can't find the right thread, but the latest Planning Commission Agenda has the Heights HEB on the agenda for the meeting on the 10th. I know it's not the right thread, but since there has been some discussion of this I figured I'd post it here. Looks to be two levels of parking with the store itself on the 2nd floor.
