Instead of an udon restaurant, Post Oak Plaza is leasing the 1727 Post Oak Blvd unit to Rakkan Ramen. Rakkan Ramen is a Japanese restaurant chain with ramen on the menu. I don't when Rakkan Ramen intends to open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 i am really liking the aesthetic of the new redevelopment overall...the dark gray/almost black brick facade looks really nice in my opinion. i am watching to see how in the heck they are going to redo the huge Kenny & Ziggy's signage as they have chipped away everything around it except the lettering on the rounded upper structure. but yeah, it's looking really nice and can't wait to see it finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacodeli, an all-day taqueria based in Austin, leased 2,800 square feet for its second Houston location following its entry on Washington Avenue in 2017. Kohler will open a 4,040-square-foot kitchen and bath showroom featuring the brand’s faucets and fixtures. Bassett Furniture leased 9,600 square feet for a store to open in late 2023. The new retailers join previously announced restaurants Nando’s Peri Peri and Balboa Surf Club and retail including Bosch/Thermador/Gaggenau, all scheduled to open this year. Bluestone Lane, il Bracco and Kenny & Ziggy’s previously opened during the renovation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I thought I read at one time that this development wanted to resemble Uptown Park with seating areas and shaded areas etc but that is definitely now what is happening so far. They are finishing the resurfacing of the entire lot now and they have not created any new "areas" from what i can tell... and while they have lots of low profile plants in a holding area that they are soon to plant...and are planting some trees in portions of the lot, they have these weird ugly tall plant "trees" in the small medians on the Balboa up to Kenny & Ziggys end of the lot... they should have stuck with the usual trees they have elsewhere. Very strange and goofy looking in my opinion but we shall see. anyway...this development definitely needs something more substantial in the middle of the lot to make this look as nice as Uptown Park. (whether that be a small building (like the small version of the galleria jewel box or the coffee shop at Uptown Park) or a small area with grass and shade and seating (like a mini courtyard version of the area at city center). (Something small enough to not take away from too much parking...as i know that will be the reasoning not to do something maybe) end of rant. haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Balboa Surf Club is open at 1751 Post Oak Blvd in Post Oak Plaza. CultureMap reports on the opening and the restaurant's design in an article today: "Balboa Surf Club has a midcentury modern design that uses port windows and skylights to add natural light to the dining room. It also takes some inspiration from Brazilian brutalist design for its dramatic entryway and surf bungalows with its plant life throughout the space, according to press materials. A 1,200-square-foot patio features a concrete fire pit and a 60-foot fountain. Artwork comes from the personal collection of Mary Lucille Quick and her husband, Western Addition president and CEO Robert Quick." https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/balboa-surf-club-seafood-restaurant-open/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
