The market supposedly corrects itself, but what happens when all of the supermarkets have been torn down to build luxury apartments? I guess they'll starve. But, at least it will be in luxury. I do think a grocery store on Montrose would still have enough catchment to survive - especially as the ground floor of apartments. But it's hardly a food desert, given the Montrose HEB, Midtown Whole Foods, and Waugh Whole Foods nearby. (And before folks chime in with the "Whole Paycheck" thing, let me just say that I spend about $25 a week on groceries and exclusively shop at the Midtown WF. They have solid bulk, frozen, canned, and dried options at solid prices.) Edited December 18, 2022 by 004n063 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 One thing for sure, if you cant find something in the holiday crush, go to Midtown Whole Foods . Its always free of crowds and the garage is easy to navigate. I went there for Thanksgiving products I couldn't find in other stores or didn't want to deal with the crowds. It was great. Literally many more workers than shoppers. I only hope they get enough customers to justify staying open. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a consent item at the last Planning Commission meeting but I doubt it's starting that soon. The bank isn't the only tenant so they may have to wait for all the leases to be up. Then comes demo. It's probably going to be a while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasta Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Are they really paying to demo this building to build a 2 story spec retail building? How do those numbers work? You think something like the taller apartment building would have to be built to make this project feasible If not, why didn't they just renovate thr existing building for retail? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechlin Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Such a shame if they are indeed tearing it down. This is a cool old building of a style you just don't see built anymore. If it's replaced with something more dense it won't be all bad, but a 2-story retail building does not sound appealing. Maybe if the new building has interesting architecture, but knowing how Houston is I'm not optimistic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
