SkylineView Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I saw a sign that they were moving out. Does anyone know what's coming into the building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 doubt the building will survive the wrecking ball. i know who purchased the site and let's just say it doesn't leave one with a lot of optisim regarding its redevelopment... regardless of what they paid for it (a lot). that's all i know so only time will tell i suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Interesting. Dad used to own shoe stores and always looked up to Brucette's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I passed by the Brucette's shoe store on Bay Area Blvd. last Friday and it was open and appered to be fully stocked. I wonder if the Brucette's in the Galleria will just relocate. My young adult daughter has a passion for shoes exceeded only by Imelda Marcos so I am peripherally aware of these things. When I was paying for her clothes and shoes I was acutely aware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Purchased by icon bank for $300/sf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thanks for the info. So there will now be a Wells Fargo, next to an Icon, next to a Chase, next to a ___ (whatever they built on the tiny piece of land at the edge of Blvd Place... seems reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2013/02/05/icon-bank-starting-construction-on-two.html only in Houston will you see one of the most presitigious hard corners in the city sell for a ridiculous price only to be developed into a drive-thru bank* immediately next door to another drive-thru bank and within 100 yards of 3 other drive thru banks. maddening. *i will openly admit that i am merely speculating on the drive-thru bank since it really isn't specified but it's probably a fairly safe assumption. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I am hoping that Flite Banking Centers take off. Such a smart and simple concept (combine multiple banking ATMs under one uniform umbrella). I know the Kirby/59 location has been successful and that another one is coming to I-10/Durham area. I'd prefer to see 1 FLITE center than 6 stand-alone chain banks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Agreed. I think the kirby(ish) 59 one is pretty cool. In all the times I've been through it I've never seen anyone use the car charger though (LOL). Also, I think I read online that the same bank also picked up the AT&T site next store. Either way... seems like a $hit load of banks within ONE BLOCK., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way... seems like a $hit load of banks within ONE BLOCK.,there will be 3 drive thru banks NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER, including the vacant one next to the Wells Fargo... it's insane. oh ya, go ahead and include the propserity drive thru a block over. and the bank of america on san felipe and sage. and i'm pretty sure the current verizon was a drive thru bank in a previous life. oh and frost bank will be going into the newest phase of BLVD Place. that's nine concrete islands in what should be a densifying area (although i'll probably cut some slack to the frost, prosperity and sovereign banks.)i think i need someone to explain to me how banks value/determine locations... to me drive thru banks are the single most obnoxious use of prime urban properties since they're essentially just giant parking lots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think location determination goes something like this.... Uptown and Tanglewood have rich people... Rich people always want more banks ('cause they all offer different services... oh wait)... we're a bank and we like money... Competitors don't matter (see point two)... Build at any cost. I should do this for a living. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Green fence up around the old store now. Saw people carrying things out a few days ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanitos Superior Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 noticed that at&t is now taking this space. did icon bank end up leasing/selling to at&t? i think they may have changed the awful green color on the side of the building, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Is it possible that AT&T is taking the San Felipe side while the bank is taking the Post Oak entrance? I noticed the sign... very strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 When is this going to be redeveloped? A single story building at Post Oak & San Felipe? Within the next 5-10 years is my guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Would it still be a bank branch? Not saying they aren't useful but how many people still go to in-person bank branches? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Cadence Bancorporation, BancorpSouth Bank to merge in $6B deal https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2021/04/12/bancorpsouth-bank-cadence-bancorporation-to-merge.html Quote The all-stock merger has a total market value of more than $6 billion, the companies announced April 12. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021. Cadence shareholders will receive 0.7 shares of BXS for each share of CADE they own, and a one-time special cash dividend will give Cadence shareholders $1.25 per share in conjunction with the closing of the merger. BancorpSouth shareholders will own approximately 55% of the combined company, and Cadence shareholders will own approximately 45%. The combined company will operate under the Cadence Bank name and combine the aesthetics of both brands and logos. It will have dual headquarters in Houston and Tupelo, Mississippi, making it the fifth-largest bank based in its combined nine-state footprint.
