Houston19514 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Is that list for real, or just a fantasy?I kinda think it might be a combination of real, signed tenants, and a listing of retailers that represent the type of additional tenants they plan to have. For example, I'd be very surprised to see Corner Bakery either move, or open a second location that close to their location 2 blocks up Main Street.

Houston19514 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Macy's has two store in one mall (Galleria).Yes indeed. Never said it was impossible. Just seems pretty unlikely to me. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorAggie Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yes indeed. Never said it was impossible. Just seems pretty unlikely to me. We shall see.Red Cat is supposed to open a location in HP while keeping their original open, though. We'll see how well that works out.

We'll see how well that works out.Good point, and that was a surprising announcement as well. (But it's also fair to point out that the original Red Cat is at least 3-4 times further away from HP than is the original Corner Bakery.)

tierwestah Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 i kinda think adding another Corner Bakery Cafe in the Pavilions is a waste of good space. Bring on somethin' new like an ESPN zone or something else. Same goes with the Red Cat Jazz Cafe. We don't need the HP project being a repeat of what Main Street already got. Next we're going to here about new CVSs lining up HP. Ewwww! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ V Lawrence Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yo, if Hard Rock Cafe were to move to HP, what would Bayou Place be like after HP opened? Who do you think Bayou Place would announce as a big-name tenant to replace HRC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I have mixed feeling about HRC moving to HP. I would like their present location to thrive, especially in conjunction with the Venue that is there and I think it will get more busines once more office and maybe residential spaces are taken up. So far, there are surveyors running all over the property and they seem to be building some sort of office with a concrete slab. As far as equipment being on there, the only thing there is a hoe.

Houston19514 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Houston's media is finally catching up with HAIF:HBJ discovers news about HPDo you suppose the Chronicle will get the word one of these days? Or will they discover it when they see the groundbreaking on their local news Tuesday night? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Do you suppose the Chronicle will get the word one of these days?...as soon as crack girl "reporter" Sarnoff gets a fax I'm sure she'll publish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkjones98 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Surely this article has been seen. I am certainly interested on who the two new "anchor" tenants are.http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories...html?from_rss=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 i think the announcement of new anchor stores will be underwhelming for haifers who've been following this thread.i will be a little surprised if it includes clothing stores.

HtownWxBoy Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I know they are saying that the grand opening is in October 2008... but does anyone think parts of the project will open before then?... or will everything open at once?

HtownWxBoy Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Two anchor tenants... my guess is it will be something like a United Artist Movie Theater, Virgin Megastore or Niketown. According to Denver Pavilions's website... their "major" tenants are:Virgin Megastore, Hard Rock Caf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesternGulf Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 As far as the key tenants, I do not tink those are guaranteed for the Pavilions. Those are just some of the tenants that usually make their way to pavilion projects. The one in Denver does not even have all those tenants I believe. Plus, with the announcements that have been made as far as who have signed with the project, do you all really believe all of those stores listed as key tenants can fit with what has already been released in 350,000 square feet of retail. House of Blues alone is over 40,000 square feet correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorAggie Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Play-by-play: It looks like half of the lot along Main was closed this morning. My guess it that that it where the groundbreaking ceremony will occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Oh, I can only imagine the sheer cries of horror at the declining parking spaces available. It just makes me all giddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternGulf Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Relax? I'm just curious.With HOB, Lucky Strike Lanes, Yaos, Red Cat, Antica Osteria, McCormick & Schmick's, Tuscany, and Lawry's already announced, I thought these tenants would take up a lot of space alone. With Lucky and HOB taking up about 65,000 square feet by themselves, I am pretty sure these are some of the largest tenants and maybe a bookstore, I would be surprised if that list of other tenants would fit with what has already been announced. After looking at the Denver layout, some stores look a little claustrophobic, so I guess it can work after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2H Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Relax. The list is fairly accurate.I don't know, WesternGulf might have a point. That list was only a list of possible tennants, not ones that will be actually filling the space. The ones i'm really hoping that will still make the list are: Niketown, Movie Theater, Forever 21, and Barnes/Nobile.But i wouldn't expect all those tennants to be in there. It's just too many for the amount of space available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus is a local in the list such as Yao's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The main point is that we'll be able to spend hours nitpicking the tenants and their clientelle, which is better than spending hours arguing over whether the project is even going to get off the ground.Wee!That said, I tend to believe as WG believes that not all tenants listed will actually come to be. Most of them? Sure. All of them... not quite as confident. For example, does Hard Rock Cafe really want to move? Possible but not sure.And I'm also a little concerned about Red Cat's ability to support two locations downtown. Sure, the RC is one of the few places DT that has good business 7 days a week but even so, two locations less than a mile apart seems like a stretch to me.And I think the big contributors to the development WILL BE the bookstores, music stores and specialty shops.
