Popular Post Naviguessor Posted October 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2017 "People connect with it? Who? Who are these people? The place seems a bit ridiculous to me. Several retail islands seperated by a sea of parked cars that you just don't want to cross? The fact that it's got a European costume on (and a bad one at that) just makes it seem...yeah...ridiculous. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I used to live across the street, and there are some good places on the property that I would use: Starbucks, Crave, Embajadores (cigars), Song Kran (good Thai), Etoile (work meetings & food) etc... The western building (where Anejo used to be) never really met any needs in my life, and I still can't figure out what anchors the north end. It's been creamed by the road work on Post Oak, which makes going north-bound after work a frustrating experience, and the River Oaks District, which is the new hot spot has filled the void that used to feed this place. Also, the lack of a sidewalk on the west side of Post Oak lane, and the lack of ANY SIDEWALK AT ALL on the north side of Post Oak (since ~ 6 months ago) made walking to Uptown a terrifying endeavor. The project feels like a minor upgrade until the next super-cycle. This would be a great location for tons of apartments / condos, but retail access is very challenging due to the traffic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Did the article mention anything about financing? Likely have to wait until another big upswing when the land use will be better served for the investment in “upgrades”. I’d imagine it’s hard to compete with River Oaks Place & BLVD Place. They have a good lunch and dinner crowd now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter1 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Uptown is lit up with holiday lights! It's so beautiful! Stretches so far too. The Mercer on Richmond to Greenway Plaza (approx). Don't know where to post this. Might be the wrong area Edited December 2, 2017 by Twitter1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Love that store too and one of my friends had just gotten a great job there so they transferred him...so yeah here's hoping they move to Uptown Park which for the most part is a ghost town...! Would love to see this area be revived with great businesses people actually want to go to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Since I ride my bike through here daily I have been watching the progress...the re-facing/painting (white) of the entire development is almost complete...I am thinking by the end of next month they will be done completely with all exterior renovations and enhancements...now if we could only get some more great tenants...Post Oak Blvd is coming along and really will be amazing in my opinion so I am hoping that draws more and more quality businesses our way! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC2HTX Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 A Rejuvenation store will be opening in Uptown Park. https://www.rejuvenation.com/stores? It’s a Willams-Sonoma brand, specializing in light fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marstrose Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Do they have a GC? Also, is this development necessary? I think Uptown looks pretty rad as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJilliams Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I wish they would replace the screen facing 610 with a newer LED screen. With the new paint job, it looks pretty tacky and outdated. Anyone know if that is a part of the renovation plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I am loving the updates to this development and was totally impressed with how fun and cool Flower Child looks in person...can't wait to check it out...and this comes from someone that 90 percent of the time eats tex-mex haha! Cannot wait to see what all moves in to make this a place I want to visit more seeing that i own and condo and work within blocks of it all!

LBC2HTX Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 After closing the West Elm in Highland Village, I'm really hoping they open a West Elm in Uptown Park. I can see it happening given that a sister store, Rejuvenation, is opening there. One store that would do great here, or in Highland Village, would be a Nike store (not a factory or outlet). I'm baffled that Houston doesn't have one. River Oaks District could use it to draw in more foot traffic, but IDK if a Nike store goes with the rest of the development.

I even frequent El Real and Chuys depending on who I am with. I have never cooked a day in my life so I go out to eat often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 That's cool gene! I also go to Escalantes in Meyerland Plaza. My go-to Mexican. Chuy's is close to work so I go there often as well. Years ago, my mom and I used to try a new Mexican restaurant once a week. The joy! Teotihuacan is good. Try if if you haven't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBC2HTX Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 So ready for Mendocino Farms to open, which will have great synergy with Flower Child. https://www.mendocinofarms.com/uptown-park/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Has anyone seen any more news of new businesses being relocated to Uptown Park? I am guessing that Mendocino Farms is going to occupy the former Champps space as that has a gate around the perimeter and remodeling has begun...

gene Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 WOW! The Rustic!?!? I wonder if there is anyway to fit in their famous indoor/outdoor space? I am trying to remember if adjacent to the right or behind it has any space? If it is going to be the same format as Dallas and Downtown Houston then this is huge news...would love to walk to The Rustic for music (and food etc)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I guess we now know what will be replacing the space formerly occupied by Arturo's and Anejo's. Still think Ninfa's would have been a better fit despite what the landlord's thought. I am excited about Ninfa's opening at Uptown Blvd of course...
