Popular Post hindesky Posted September 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2021 POST Houston, the abandoned post office turned eatery and concert hall, sets opening date For years, the Barbara Jordan Post Office in downtown Houston has been quietly transforming into POST Houston: a mixed-use development including an eatery inspired by night markets where small vendors sell street food in Asia, a 5.5-acre rooftop park where a revolving music stage takes in views of the skyline and a warehouse-style concert venue. Now, the developer behind the project, Lovett Commercial, has announced POST Houston’s grand opening date: Nov. 13 The features of the project include a glowing double helix stretches to the top of the 555,000 square-foot former mail-sorting warehouse, one of a number of unusual staircases leading to the roof, as well as a translucent, lightweight plastic known as ETFE and designed for the aerospace industry. It stretches in bubbles across large, excised portions of the ceiling, letting natural light filter down into a food hall. Rooftop gardens, where restaurants can request ingredients to be grown, will unfold overhead. Blackwood Land Education Institute, a group that runs a 33-acre nonprofit teaching farm in Waller County, will also sell vegetables, fruits and herbs it grows in the rooftop gardens for people to take home and use. The sprawling complex incorporates restaurants, retail and office space, a hotel, concert hall and a wedding venue. Lovett Commercial announced that first tenants will include the flexible workspace provider Common Desk and several restaurants. Common Desk will provide a mix of coworking, private offices and office suites. “We’re excited to provide uniquely amenitized coworking space for the project in addition to designing the move-in-ready suites that (the commercial real estate firm) CBRE will lease,” said Dawson Williams, head of real estate at Common Desk, in a release. Newly announced restaurants include the wood-fired pizzeria Roberta’s, which hails from Brooklyn, G’Raj Mahal, an Indian food spot that traces its roots to Austin’s food trucks, Motto Ramen, run by Houstonian behind Chinatown’s Tiger Den and Rollin Phatties a Pakistani food truck that’s making the jump to brick and mortar. Whisk Crêpes Café, Thrive Juices, Flower & Cream, Earth and Roots CBD and Return to Sender & Address Unknown will also be tenants on opening day. Previously announced tenants include Golfstrømmen Seafood Market, Saison Cellar, Salt & Time Butcher Shop, The Butcher’s Burger, Hawker Street Food Bar, East Side King, ChòpnBlọk, Andes Café, Thai Kun, Soy Pinoy, Lea Jane’s Hot Chicken, Taco Fuego, BlendIn Coffee Club, Abu Omar Halal, GELU Italian Ice, Sweets with L&L and SOUPreme. rebecca.schuetz@chron.com; twitter.com/raschuetz https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/POST-Houston-the-abandoned-post-office-turned-16500091.php 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheLoopFromNYC Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 What am I missing? I mean, don't get me wrong, cool interiors and rooftop spaces, but what about the exterior? Most people see this thing from the outside and frankly, its as ugly as its always been! With a November opening, seems what you see is what you're going to get -- to me it looks like umm, an old post office processing facility and offices! Why no significant improvements to the exteriors? I mean, not like this place was landmarked or had an exterior with anything worth preserving! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got like $50 million dollars for keeping it historic (not sure if it was tax breaks or what but I read that number somewhere). You can’t do much with the facade and still get that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up comes Paula Blart:Mall Cop, saying I can't take pics from a public street of a private wedding. STFU. I took a whole bunch of pics.

Amlaham Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) The building is beautiful, I just wish they put more work into the outside landscape/ entrance. Imagine if they built an eye-catching garage on the east or west parking lot and converted the entire front of the building into greenery or something. The outside looks a little, unfinished for something thats practically finished. Edited October 12, 2021 by Amlaham Grammar 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we have now is 100% Phase 1. They absolutely have plans for parking garages / more buildings on site. They REALLY want residential + office space on the site. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brooklyn173 Posted November 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2021 I thought someone else would have beaten me to these pix. There was a 'soft' opening tonight (and tomorrow). Only about 15 of the vendors were open and the site is still very much a work in progress. But it is an interesting space and, as promised, the roof views and gardens are spectacular. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn173 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I had an Eventbrite 'invitation' and no one checked. But I didn't park, I just walked up. My guess is its not a big deal.

BEES?! Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 We ended up going and it was so cool- the rooftop gardens are absolutely gorgeous and have some spectacular views of downtown. We didn’t see some parts- there was a wedding reception, but next time for sure! It was pretty busy at times- I can only imagine how crowded the grand opening is going to be. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wilcal Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 Some pics I took last night. I just got my Pixel 6 Pro, so was looking forward to testing it out. We all agreed that there were some strong Cali vibes with the sunset. Thanks again to @Brooklyn173for posting the eventbrite link. No one ever checked and there were tons of people, but I probably wouldn't have been as emboldened. One thing that was kind of interesting was that there was a wedding on the roof last night. Talk about hitting the weather lottery. They had the reception on the roof as well on the eastern portion, so didn't make it over there. View from where the wedding was set up: Towards the reception area: I went to post this one in The Allen thread and Brooklyn713 posted almost the same exact photo from the night before! This was using the 4X optical zoom camera. Crazy impressive for a cell phone imho. Best food we tried was this, the hot chicken fries. Price is $12 and the heavy black pepper mac is $3. Spicy salmon hand-rolls 5/$20 20oz ribeye I think about $35 normally. All of the food was half price for the soft opening. Bonus pic of the Bagby rebuild because it makes me so happy: 25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HtownWxBoy Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Yea looking like this development is gonna be just a tad successful... and by that I mean very successful. I'm sure the Downtown Aquarium is happy with both this and the Bagby Street improvements. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
