The GFR will be located on Canal, right across from the current structure (where Andes Cafe once lived) and on Navigation at the corner with McAlpine. Desired tennats are the the usual: cafe, brewery, etc. n i c e 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped by and chatted with them as well. Probably walked right past you at some point while I was there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I don't know what it looks like in person since it's been about two years since I've been home but this thing looks great in your photos. The brick ties it to the area with a nod to history but the ground floor retail, amount of glass, and balconies give a nice nod to the future of East Houston. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a metal cladding of sorts. Eitherway, it does look pretty neat. It will be a good addition for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I just looked on my laptop. How funny, on my phone I've thought it was brick this entire time. Thanks for the heads up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 This f..k up is going to be a little more costly. The forklift can't reach all the way, they are using it to throw trash down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Not the only costly booboo. If you notice in your second picture, there is no siding by some of the windows. They had to rip off a whole section of siding to reinstall some windows last week. They've also had to reinstall windows on the McAlpine side 3 different times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any listed on loopnet or other sites yet. I spoke to one of the leasing agents recently who said they were working with a commercial realtor. Maybe they are keeping it a private listing for now? Also, only the GFR on the Navigation side is ready to use (the leasing agent said that Marquette's goal is for a small brewery or distillery to occupy this space). The future GFR on the Canal side is being used by the construction workers as a break room. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljchou Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Weird space for a brewery. I was hoping for more spaces that made logical sense being on top of YP living (workout studio, cafe, etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 For some reason, I seem to recall that one of the amenities was a workout studio for residents that has outside trainers coming in. I may be misremembering too. I think the Canal side GFR may end up being a cafe as it is better suited for that (size wise), and also closer to Common Desk.

This seems like partial design oversight to me. Why anyone would want those metal slats interfering with the overhead door opening is beyond me.

They are very high up, it was the extended boom forklifts that were doing the damage when they used a trash bin so workers could throw waste construction parts in to the bin from the patio decks above. No car or truck could even come close to hitting them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From all the photos the Contractor has some real bonehead subs working this one. So I'm guessing the head on that door is like 12ft or something? Even if its a very tall door its not exactly a great idea to obstruct it in any situation even for aesthetics purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, incredibly bone headed (my favorite was that they never shut off the waterline they ran to their trailers completely, they just "turned it off." It took us few months to realize that's why the sidewalk and grass by the house were always wet. B. Yes, about 12ft and the sensor is at least 2 ft above that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It's at least a 2 foot drop towards the building, looks like they will add a short wall to keep the rainwater away from the building. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
