loon Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Was going to post this as well. I guess soon they'll start with the facade, they haven't done much but some concrete work inside lately. Maybe A/C units soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Block at Midtown is a retail center at 2020 Travis St. It's currently being renovated. What Now Houston published this dreadful article yesterday about Wei's Kitchen at 2020 Travis St. Zheng (Wei Kitchen's owner Wei Zheng), remains an elusive figure in the gastronomic community, keeping the details of Wei’s Kitchen currently under wraps as he was unavailable for comment as of this publishing. With no website or further information available, the anticipation and mystery surrounding the eatery have only served to stoke the flames of curiosity. Some speculation is that Wei’s Kitchen will offer a fusion of traditional and contemporary flavors, or perhaps specialize in a specific regional cuisine. Given the diverse and rich culinary heritage that Houston enjoys, Wei’s Kitchen could very well be a new nexus for culinary innovation. The location is strategically positioned in a bustling area, making it an ideal spot for attracting a diverse clientele eager to sample the dish creations from Zheng. https://whatnowhou.com/new-concept-set-for-inner-loop-river-oaks-submarket/ First off, I highly doubt Wei's Kitchen is a business many Houstonians are anticipating. That's not to say it won't be a fine restaurant. It probably will be. Moreover, this eatery is not going to be "a new nexus for culinary innovation." My guess is the author has a minimum word count that they have to adhere to. Hence, the reason for the article's fluff and needless padding. Still, What Now Houston notes the following regarding a possible opening timeline: According to a comp report reviewed by What Now Houston, the Lease Term is set for June 2024, leading the belief that permitting and construction will soon be underway to turn the space into something fitting for Wei’s Kitchen sometime in 2024.

loon Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 There seems to have been some slow down in work since the cinder blocks got put in.. and not sure what happened to the top but looks like mold almost or maybe just water but its definitely a dark color and its all the spots they had repaired before they put the white tiles down. I'm merely a curious observer of the goings on in my hood not an architect so forgive my ignorance heh :D Also seems to be a new FOR LEASE sign put up today.. wasn't this the original folks that had it first? Has something fallen through? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loon Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Lots of jackhammer action the last two weeks or so... on the far side of this picture new conduit is going up for electrical. It appears they have also started framing some of the windows to recieve glass soon. After appearing stalled for a bit there is action pretty much daily again now. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
