IntheKnowHouston Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Does anyone have further insight into forthcoming renovations at the 3100 Travis St property in Midtown? High Fashion Home is located here. Supposedly, there are plans for a massive two-level food hall.

I asked around and there is a food hall in planning for 3100 Travis St. Apparently, it will be two levels. The food hall will feature somewhere between 15 to 25 food stalls. There will also be several bars situated throughout. There will be space for visitors to play games and other activities. Some activities include simulated golf and karaoke rooms. I don't know the name of the food hall or the operators involved. Perhaps more details will be revealed soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn173 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I'm a little confused. Is High Fashion leaving and being replaced by the massive food hall, or will the food hall be an expansion of the existing building and High Fashion stays? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retail will be on the other floors. This is going to be a huge project from what I'm hearing. The first and second levels are expected to undergo major renovations. I think with the size of the food hall and location, an announcement is likely soon to come. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 2 hours ago, Sanjorade said: Was told from someone very close to this company that it’s not happening. I reached out to High Fashion last week prior to posting about the proposed food hall. I was told by someone by phone and email there were no plans for a food hall. So, I messaged the person who originally posted the news. After asking the person on Facebook for clarification, they sent a screenshot of construction and demo plans. The design is from Eimer Design, a Philadelphia architecture team whose robust portfolio includes a number of food hall designs across the county. I noticed the plans were dated April 2023. So, I inquired if this was moving forward or on the back burner. The poster shared contract bids went out for this in July. Bids were due last month. Following that exchange, I reached out to High Fashion again with the new information. Their response: "while it's not currently official, anything is possible." It's been my experience businesses aren't very forthcoming regarding plans that have not been publicized to the general public. The same can be said when asking about closures or rebranding. And I get it. Businesses have their own timeline and plans in place for announcements of any kind. I also understand plans aren't always set in stone. Things can change for a number of reasons. Still, time and time again, I'll ask if something is in planning only to be told no or a response similar to the one provided by High Fashion. Then a few days later - even weeks or months later - there is a press release or a social media announcement confirming plans that were previously denied. I suppose like everything that's posted here, we'll find out in due time if this is moving forward or not. When I can, I'll post the proposed plans for the food hall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigereye Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) As a Midtown resident who also shops at High Fashion Home occasionally, a food & beer hall on the lower levels may help draw people to the building and maybe to their store. It’s typically empty on all 4 floors most times I walk over. The occasional sidewalk sales don’t really move the needle much either. With numerous multifamily developments within walking distance, this could attract more people within its walls, offering more revenue potential to the store itself if they can convert those foodies into new customers. Glam foodies and glam shopping. It could work. Edited September 19, 2023 by tigereye 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Honestly, I'm just trying to figure out why the street abandonment is even necessary.

Because there's a street that you can drive right through the development they're planning. I think they're trying to work with what they got and its a lot better than whats currently there. They're removing the parking lot at 3100 Travis St and replacing it with a little park/ outdoor area. They're also putting in a new building behind 3101 Louisiana St, which removes even more parking. So in between 3101 Louisiana, 3010 Milam, and the planned building there is a street. Removing it and making it a pedestrian street makes sooo much sense. This way, all 3 of those buildings can be accessible without crossing a street, making it a little less car centric. It dedicates a space thats only for pedestrians, that would obviously be a win-win no matter what. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, it appears that the block of Rosalie along High Fashion Home is already abandoned. Rosalie also doesn't go through two blocks to the west at the former Whole Foods store. So, a few reasons why you would want to abandon: * One: Rosalie street is only about 43', so when they replat this they would actually be required to contribute 7 more feet to the street. * Two: Streets trigger building setbacks (note: this is in a Walkable Place area, which makes things complicated, but still) * Three: they are showing some buildings on Rosalie. Can't do that without acquiring it. Edited October 9, 2023 by wilcal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn173 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I sent in an objection. I thought that it would unnecessarily break up the traffic pattern with no real benefit to the neighborhood. I guess that I wasn't persuasive enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
