      Shell Building, Restaurant - 1808 N. Shepherd Dr.

      Earlier this week, Orlando Business Journal reported Hawkers Asian Street Food filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Florida restaurant chain recently leased the 1808 N Shepherd Dr property in Houston. Plans are to build a new building for the restaurant. Highlights from the article: Hawkers’ owners were in jeopardy because the loan terms included a pledge on the ownership of the company, Shuker said... The filing gives the company time to renegotiate terms and resolve financial issues while maintaining day-to-day operations... None of the chain’s 15 locations...are expected to close. https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2024/09/16/hawkers-asian-street-food-bankruptcy-ch-11-shuker.html

      iStorage - 605 E. 29th St.

      So this topic can be found via the forum's search and Google, I'm including the address as shown on the permit and map. A self storage facility is being constructed at 502 N Loop E. Other spellings for the address include 502 N Loop and 502 North Loop East. The storage facility is likely iStorage. https://www.nsastorage.com/storage/texas/storage-units-houston
