Too bad they couldn't just shift the whole project closer to the corner and have Becks lease in the new tower. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I don't think Becks prime could afford the lease. It wouldn't be the easiest to have a drive thru in the new building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 can we please replace that becks prime rib? Its just so out of place with this building going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I wonder what the long-term plan is for the "apron" part of the lot facing Kirby? It will have two buildings, the existing Beck's Prime (which I assume is at least presently under separate ownership), and the new small building going up as pictured above, which I think someone said was going to be a restaurant as well. I wonder if they will stay low-density like that, but perhaps be made into something higher-density in the future? Or maybe they are planning to keep it like this in order to protect the views of the residents? Also, it was weird looking at the beginning of this thread, seeing a bunch of unrelated posts from 2004 that talked about Christmas, especially since the renderings that replaced the first post were from probably 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or I'm watching too much Ozarks on Netflix. But wow, that 40 year lease must have been astronomical to offset the potential value increase.

H-Town Man Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 On 8/11/2020 at 9:06 AM, Avossos said: Aggressive... 40 years... Very unusual for a ground lease to be extended 40 years. Most likely this is some combination of a 10-20 year lease with multiple 5-year renewal options. So Beck's has 40 years of ground control but isn't boxed in for all that time. Also, this is almost certainly a net lease so taxes would be passed through to the restaurant and not affect the land owner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Had a good view of this property the other day. Can't believe Becks Prime renewed a 40-year lease here. That's such a long time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe someone allowed them a 40-year lease! I wonder what the buyout clause is. Having said that, we love Beck's Prime. It's far and away our favorite burger in this area.

(i wonder if they have a super lengthy lease there...i cannot image that location ever closing being so carved into those trees...) It is a true oasis in the concrete jungle that is upper westheimer... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great places for evening dining. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
