swtsig Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Lots of momentum in this area and a lot of it is now coming from very established proprietors. Construction will certainly have some affect but Polk through street isn't going anywhere and it's looking more and more likely that the park will be a reality. Don't be shocked to hear of yet unannounced multi family and hospitality developments too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Clean19 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Tout Suite will be gone, but I bet they get a sweet deal from the city on another location in the east end. Maybe somewhere along the green loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 It's a shame we keep allowing for the destruction of our city so that folks who don't live here can drive in and out more easily. Some day, we'll grow up like other places. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastdwntwn Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Phase I has been moving at a snails pace since Harvey. Specifically, Rodeo Goat and the Truck yard. I don't understand how portions of phase II like Sorek could have plans to be open by March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastdwntwn Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Looks like the bar will be facing Hutchins. Really interested to see how rodeo goat and the truck yard plan on sharing space. I thought the interior of the building would be all Rodeo Goat, but based on the picture, that's not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastdwntwn Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 2 hours ago, CrockpotandGravel said: Confirmed. Houston brewery True Anomaly Brewing is opening in East Village in EaDo. From Houston Business Journal today: Several new concepts are on tap for the East Village mixed-use development, including a new brewery that was founded by four current and former NASA employees. True Anomaly Brewing will open in roughly 8,000 square feet at 2012 Dallas St. in Ancorian's East Village development. The brewery will likely open in September or October, Michael Duckworth, one of the brewery's co-founders, told the Houston Business Journal. The brewery will focus on hoppy ales, Belgian-inspired ales and wild and sour ales, Duckworth said. It'll also pull from the co-founders experiences at NASA. Even the name itself, True Anomaly, is a phrase used in celestial mechanics to refer to the position of a body moving in orbit. The brewery was originally founded as Apogee Brewing Co. – the word "apogee" refers to the highest position of orbit from Earth. "We’re definitely going to pull on the space theme," Duckworth said. "We’d like to be a little more nuanced." True Anomaly Brewing has been hunting for space inside the Loop for several months. The four founders have been home brewing for about the past decade, taking their beers to chili cook-offs and conferences in the Houston area. And in around four to five months, the brewery should be able to be sold in bars around Houston. The co-founders are still finalizing licensing, Duckworth said. True Anomaly will open a block away from 8th Wonder Brewery and in the second phase of the East Village development.https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/02/06/exclusive-brewery-founded-by-nasa-employees-to.html Since the news of the highway reconstruction, I didn't think anyone would invest on the west side of St. Emanuel. Good for the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Clean19 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 At this point, developers are just placing their variance requests and plans for development to help bolster their payout. The real challenge will be to see how these companies survive with 10 years of construction out their front door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really starting to second guess this whole freeway construction. I like the "idea" of a freeway cap park but not as much as seeing this whole are change on it's own. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the "idea" of a freeway cap park but not as much as seeing this whole are change on it's own. The freeway cap park is not even a sure thing, nor is it technically part of the freeway project. I believe it’s just an “idea” as you said, that TXDOT threw in the renderings to mainly mask just how awful the project really is. Long ago, I admit at first glance, I initially thought this was a smart project and really liked the idea of the freeway cap park. But after really thinking about how the widening will negatively affect EaDo’s progress/vibe, cutting off access to the East End and the likeliness that the cap will probably never be built, I’ve turned completely against it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter, which calls itself an "adult playground," will have the ferris wheel bar. In the coming months, Ancorian Development will break ground on phases two and three of the project, both of which should deliver in summer 2018. A 32,000-square-foot industrial building at the intersection of Dallas Street and Saint Emmanual Street comprises phase two; Agricole Hospitality leased 14,000 square feet for a multirestaurant food hall concept. Three new concepts from Agricole – a 30-seat New York style pizza joint dubbed Vinny's A Slice Is Nice, an American-inspired breakfast concept called Indianola and Miss Carousel, a craft cocktail bar, will occupy the 14,000 square feet. The high-end Sorek Barber Shop and Expo Eastside Gastropub will also open in the 32,000-square-foot industrial building. Expo Eastside Gastropub will offer Asian fusion tapas in a relaxed environment. The industrial building isn't fully leased, Sperandio said. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/11/27/take-a-look-inside-east-village-east-downtowns.html Crews have been out in full force the last week working on Phase 2 of this project.

KinkaidAlum Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Museum District might be tough with the ZaZa right there but something like that in Montrose near the Menil. You'd be surprised by how many people come to Houston just for the Menil. Not enough for a Sheraton but certainly enough for a 30-50 room boutique. I'd also argue that something of this size in the Rice Village would mint money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
