Buy out Target and expand the existing. They would have to pay way above market for the land though since they are locked in. Unless they worked out some sort of deal with Target a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC2HTX Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 On 2/9/2018 at 9:17 AM, CrockpotandGravel said: Another restaurant opening this year at River Oaks District. From Eater Houston: The minds behind BCN Taste & Tradition, Houston’s finest Spanish eatery, are planning to open a brand new restaurant that will focus on pinxtos in the River Oaks District. Sebastian Laval, the general manager of the forthcoming restaurant, tells Eater that it will be called MAD. “It’s the airport code for Madrid,” Laval says. “It’s also a play on the word “mad” as in mad-crazy, because we want the experience to be intensely good,” he explains. The restaurant will set up shop at 4444 Westheimer Road, in the space that was formerly going to be occupied by Arizona-based restaurant Sumomaya, which quietly squashed its plans to open in River Oaks. “We are going to be serving Spanish small bites and finger foods inspired by the tradition of the pinxtos,” says Laval. “Pinxto means ‘something that is supposed to be stabbed with a toothpick,’ but it’s evolved so that now it’s more finger foods and small plates. We’ll be taking the pinxto tradition and being creative with it. There will also be large plates to share,” he says. Inspiration for the upcoming restaurant was gathered over weeks of intense travel to Spain, during which Laval, accompanied by owners Ignacio Torras and chef/owner Luis Roger, visited more than 40 restaurants in cities across Italy. When it opens, MAD will offer lunch, brunch, dinner and late night service. The beverage program will consist of beer, wine and creative cocktails. “We’re not re-creating. It’s inspired. It’s not going to be too regional. It’s a combination of things. We’re not re-doing proper traditional food from a region. It’s going to be food that’s inspired from our trip to Spain.” And, he says, “We want it to be really fun.” MAD is expected to debut in River Oaks before the end of 2018.https://houston.eater.com/2018/2/9/16993288/bcn-taste-tradition-expanding-mad-madrid So I know they’re supposed to be opening their new concept “MAD”, but signs on the storefront say “coming soon BCN Taste & Tradition”... Wonder if they changed their mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they changed their mind. I wonder if they might move BCN to River Oaks District, and open MAD in the current BCN space. Given the other restaurant tenants in ROD, BCN might be more of a match, whereas MAD could serve as a useful neighborhood restaurant in the current BCN space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parcel will consist of 267 luxury apartment homes located above 6,000 square feet of retail & restaurant space. The new development will also be located next to a new luxury hotel tower commencing construction in late-2018. Phase II is anticipated to begin construction in 2020 with a 2022 completion date 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchFan Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) There had been talk of a luxury boutique hotel on the empty lot north of ROD, across Bettis. If the hotel mentioned above is in the property to the west, formerly occupied by Sullivan's and Le Peep, I suppose it might preempt the other one. I also agree that it will be great to see the old convenience store and nail salon building go away.

The Equinox hotel, is the proposed hotel going in adjacent to ROD Phase II. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two CultureMap sources claim that the property already has a new owner that's planning a new concept that could open in the later summer or early fall. Expect more details on that as soon as they're available. Not surprised that Taverna closed. My guess is a sushi spot opens in its place.

There's available space between Steak48 and Bisou; between Kiton and Roller Rabbit; two spaces between Baanou and Theory; the corner space where the Cavo pop-up was; and the Malia Mills space is a temporary pop-up.
