Popular Post Urbannizer Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 http://claytonandlittle.com/work/mckinney-sampson/ Quote Located in the fast-growing East Downtown neighborhood in Houston, Texas, this project updates an underutilized industrial site to become a vibrant community hub with office, restaurant, bar, and retail space. The 66,000 square foot development incorporates 30,000 square feet of existing, updated building stock that includes two warehouses. New skylights highlight the vaulted ceilings and allow the original bow-string wood trusses to take center stage. One warehouse building converts into creative office space while the other anchors a retail center with leasable square footage for commercial use. A salvaged warehouse facade from a previous addition becomes a canvas for future artworks along Sampson Street. The project aims to become a blueprint for future adaptive reuse projects and a catalyst for future growth in Houston’s East Downtown neighborhood. The new architecture aims to complement the existing buildings versus overwhelming them while creating outdoor spaces for gathering. As such, the new buildings’ material palette includes concrete masonry, roman bricks, and corrugated steel which are referential to the neighborhood’s past yet contemporary in their detailing. Professional offices in an offset gabled form are cantilevered over a brick retail base to provide a covered arcade for retail frontage. The roof structure of the gabled form extends to provide weather protection to a new courtyard space. Along Sampson Street, a sawtooth roof attracts visitors while capturing north light for flexible, lofty retail spaces. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNathoo Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Wow, that looks awesome. Eado has so much potential with so many of old warehouses begging to be transformed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke. There's probably room for 50 things like this across the East End. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 What's really great about this is that there's actually more newly built than reused, but they've (mostly) kept what's there and the new buildings keep the same industrial vibe. And of course the parking is in the back. They could have just thrown surface parking on the vacant lots, but instead they fully developed the site as an integrated place. It's perfect. No notes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This development looks great; I hope it will encourage a redone RR crossing on Sampson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I supposed to walk/electric scooter to this from south/east of the tracks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I just walked by this property on Saturday and was wondering what might be planned for it. It looked like Binswanger had either already shut down this location (the building at the northwest end; the lot parallel to Sampson is vacant) or at the very least was starting to wind down operations. Now I know. This would be an awesome addition to the neighborhood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how the shared workspace will be when Milby & McKinney's crossings are closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonMidtown Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 That's awesome - Hate to see Binswanger close this location though - I live across the street and have used them to repair/replace 3 car windshields and replace a broken window in my house. They have lots of other locations though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linearmovement Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm really excited about this - it looks a lot like the Heights Mercantile development on 7th St. between Yale and Heights and I hope it brings in similar businesses (especially Local Foods). Either way, it will be very nice to have this easily accessible by bike or foot from Eastwood and parts of Second Ward to serve as an activity hub for the neighborhood and nudge some more development in the available empty warehouses further west along McKinney. With The Plant right up the street at Harrisburg and East End Backyard just down the street at Lamar, Sampson is also becoming quite the corridor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBTX Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) These plans look vaguely familiar. I don't remember the project, but they look awfully similar to some project that never came to fruition. I want to say it was in the Sampson/York corridor.
