Hanover Autry Park: Mixed-Use At Allen Parkway & W. Dallas St.

[hindesky]

I'm betting the tower crane will be erected in the notch.

They have 9 viewing holes on the western wall all at different heights.

The TAS tower crane base was just set up this morning, talked with a couple of the workers who said the rest will be erected at the end of March and the mat pour is supposed to happen in April.

Great color, detail, and field of vision in the above image of Autry Park.  I enjoy the details, and seeing it from this height and angle  reveals  a continuous line of growth of mid to high rise development all the  way from downtown, to the northern edge of TMC. The density and height that has occurred, especially in the Museum District sort of surprised me. Starting wth Lovett and Hines towers on Montrose, and continuing south to the  buildings clustered around the Museums and Herman Park  has revealed an emerging  mini skyline that shows up in this image.

Crossing either direction on the Shepherd bridge yields amazing views of density.

AT crane is on site to disperse the rebar in the excavation.

Looks like the tower crane is going up this weekend. The AT crane is being assembled. The other AT crane I posted before was just there to unload the rebar, it didn't set any of it in the excavation.

Do they still have to add groundwater detention for this phase or was it done in one location for the whole project?

Depends how they sized and permitted it with Harris County Flood Control. I assume this building was included in the design of the current pond or they wouldn't be starting without having the pond in place first.

Looks like the tower crane is going up now despite what someone said about it going up this weekend.

These two are from the operator himself while they were erecting his future tower crane. He has to be up there to help once the cab is in place.

Yesterday, BuiltNearby shared news of Chris Kinjo's MF Lobster coming to Autry Park. The part BuiltNearby posted without attributing HAIF is the speculated location of the restaurant. 

In their Instagram story, the caption read, "MF Lobster opening later this year in Autry Park." Included in the story, a photo at the intersection of Autry Park Dr and Buffalo Park Dr.

I speculated MF Lobster may be located at the corner of Autry Park Dr and Buffalo Park Dr last month (none of the building permits indicate where it's going and there are no alcohol permits for it yet). Unlike the photo BuiltNearby posted showing the units in the round, the speculated location is actually across from the round structures:

I think the restaurants could be for chef Chris Kinjo's MF Lobster and Annam. I'm not completely certain.

I don't know why, but I find it interesting BuiltNearby and Walking Houston are constantly on HAIF, but never attribute the site in their posts. Yet, both accounts will attribute publications like Houston Business Journal, Houston Chronicle, Bisnow Houston, CultureMap, and others.  It's more noticeable to me because BuiltNearby mostly uses my posts pertaining to restaurants and bars, mostly ones that I didn't find online. 

Anyway, here is the photo BuiltNearby shared in its Instagram story yesterday regarding MF Lobster. Although the photo shows the wrong location of the restaurant, some may appreciate yet another photo of the development from a different angle.

MC2 Architectural Studio designed MF Sushi. Maybe they're involved with Kinjo's Autry Park projects.

This is from the plan review submitted:

• 3711 Autry Park Dr, Suites 100, 200, & 300
  
   
•  Proposed: three shell buildings, two for future restaurants
  
   
  • Scope: Three (3) new ground up, single story buildings located within a central park each looking onto a shared plaza. The largest building is a 2,124 sq/ft shell building, intended to house a future restaurant tenant. The next largest building is a 1,521 sq/ft shell building, also intended to house a future restaurant. The smallest building is a 573 sq/ft utility building that will house restrooms & shared utilities for the three buildings.
    
     
    • A 2,124 sq/ft full-service restaurant w/ 593 sq/ft of dining area | G1 Building
       
    • A bar/lounge w/ (40) occupants & 1,591 sq/ft of retail space | G2 Building
       
    • Utility w/ 573 sq/ft | G3 Building

 

It seems my speculation regarding MF Lobster's location at 3711 Autry Park Dr is correct.

MF Lobster is a new dining concept from chef Chris Kinjo and team (MF Sushi).  It is leasing a unit that has the following assigned address: 3711 Autry Park Dr, Suite 100.

According to documents submitted to the city by MC2 Architectural Studio (the architecture firm designed MF Sushi), these are the specs for MF Lobster:
 

• A 2,124 sf full-service restaurant w/ 593 sf of dining area 

This is also included in the description of the project:
 

• 2,026 sf restaurant buildout w/outdoor patio at 3711 Autry Park Dr, Ste 100
   
  •  Dining area: 1,174 sf w/ 78 occupants
     
  • Kitchen: 813 sf
     
  • Patio: 800 sf w/ 53 occupants
     
  • Utility: 39 sf

 

• Total square footage: 2,826 sf
   
• Total occupant load: 136 (83 interior / 53 outdoor patio)

Turner's Cut may be the name of one of Berg Hospitality Group's new restaurants at Autry Park. It could be the new working name replacing Benjamin's Cut.

A domain was purchased this summer for Turner's Cut linking to Berg Hospitality.

Berg Hospitality to open two new concepts at Autry Park

The same week that Berg Hospitality Group is opening a new restaurant in the Heights comes word that the prolific restaurateur Benjamin Berg will open two new concepts at Autry Park in Spring 2022.

Houston-based Hanover Company, in partnership with Lionstone Investments, announced Tuesday that Berg restaurants will be part of its 14-acre mixed-use development along the western edge of Buffalo Bayou Park.

The new Berg concepts will be Annabelle’s, an American brasserie serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Turner’s Cut, a luxury steakhouse.

The website for Turner's Cut is up and running, at least the landing page is. It was launched sometime in the last week or so (the site was blank two weeks ago).

Turner's But is a Berg Hospitality Group dining concept coming soon to the Autry Park mixed-use development. The upscale steakhouse will be located on the ground floor of Hanover Autry Park. 811 Buffalo Park Dr, Ste 160 is the address.

Annam will be located at 811 Buffalo Park Dr, Suite 120. It's next to Berg Hospitality Group's Annabelle at  Hanover Autry Park.

As noted in above posts, Annam is a Viet-French-inspired restaurant and wine bar. The concept comes from Chris Kinjo (MF Sushi) and Dung Nguyen.

Speaking specifically on the location, I walked around Autry Park last Friday.  There was a building permit for MF Lobster in the above pictured circular building window, dated early February on the permit.  So it appears it's been there for about a month.

Yes. I noted there are building permits for that particular unit:

MC2 Architectural Studio designed MF Sushi. Maybe they're involved with Kinjo's Autry Park projects.

However, the building permit does not list MF Lobster as the occupant. The permit lists MC2 Architectural Studio as the one who applied for the permit. Also, the permit only indicates a buildout for a no-name restaurant and nothing more.

I've been following BuiltNearby's Instagram since it was created. I've also noticed how a lot of what's posted here, specifically info from me about restaurants and bars that haven't applied for a liquor permit, have no DBA, no online presence, and no building permits, are posted by BuiltNearby days or weeks later. They're free to do so since it's no different than what we do on HAIF and other online platforms. Still, I find it weird the account attributes local publications without fail but not this forum, where BuiltNearby gets the bulk of its content.
