United States Postal Service At 2802 Timmons Ln.


Recommended Posts

 

1900 W. Gray St. and 2802 Timmons Lane

The River Oaks Examiner has an article today announcing that after receiving several unsolicited offers, the River Oaks Post Office at the corner of West Gray and Dunlavy is being put up for sale. The article can be found at

This probably won't make the people who live in the condo building next door (metropolis?) very happy. Some or all of them might be losing their view of downtown.

its been on the market for a while now (6+ months, at least), along with several other post office sites. i seriously doubt a buyer could perform, with USPS' requirements, in todays market. a year or two ago, some buyer would have bent over backwards to get the deal done. $130 psf, condo-ed out a space for a post office, and still got financing. today, not so much.

i would be absolutely shocked if anything happened in the foreseeable future.

I find this odd. This post office is not really that old. The one before this one is on Woodhead and houses Neartown Animal Clinic.

think of it this way: purchased and built for a small fraction of what it could be worth, dont pay property taxes, and states are scattering for cash.

again, if they did this a couple of years ago, it would have been a profit windfall. just terrible timing...

How strange. I used this one all the time for a while.

Yeah, I couldn't get HCAD to cooperate (and maybe the purchase dates aren't as hit or miss as the build dates...).

glad it wasnt just me. however, hcad is back working again.

that means they sold woodhead before purchasing gray.

i assume they sold woodhead and stayed with a lease, used sale proceeds to close gray, took x-months to build, and then moved in.

When did the postal service move the post office from 1314 Woodhead?

Here's the 1976 listing:

I don't know, but it was a long time ago. I used to use Neartown Animal Clinic, but I finally got my barking under control.

There used to be another PO @ Waugh & Hyde Park. I think when Woodhead was closed, it was consolidated to Hyde Park and then the new one was built. They eventually closed the Hyde Park location also.

browse additional info here -> http://www.uspshoustonland.com/

direct link to RFP -> http://graphics.grubb-ellis.com/houston/em...P_RiverOaks.pdf

as a side note, the OM indicates property was built in '87

edited to add: i removed the flyer. it was taking too long and can be found in the link above.

Several years later...I am wondering if there is an update on this topic. In other words; is there still talk of the West Gray Post Office being offered up for sale anytime soon?

Does anyone know other places where information on this might be located?

Thanks.
