s3mh Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 Is this the building with the mod-ish diamond trim around the top of the building or another spot? Seems a bit odd to rip out Michael Hsu's design instead of working with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured the renderings didn’t include it because maybe they didn’t have the design elements or something. Will be interesting to know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Following a brief closure for minor renovations and rebranding after the winter holidays, Casa Nomad reopened in early February. Casa Nomad opened in the fall of 2021 as an intimate Tulum-inspired lounge and restaurant. However, it's now a mezcaleria and tequileria with a "high energy bar setting." The Instagram announcement: "Our siesta is over! Casa Nomad Tequila & Mezcal Bar will be reopening this Thursday, February 9th🪩 The new look of Casa Nomad will include an exciting cocktail and margarita menu, shareable drinks, and an expanded tequila and mezcal list. The new Casa Nomad will include a high energy bar setting with rotating DJ’s and a small snack menu." https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVXY-vJYei 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The M-K-T website is updated. I think it was updated sometime in the last two or three months.

IntheKnowHouston Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 In addition to M-K-T's updated website, there is also new leasing materials. The latest retail brochure and M-K-T's website indicates several vacant units available for lease. M-K-T is a mixed-use development located at 600 N Shepherd Dr. https://www.themkt.com https://www.themkt.com/retail-space https://www.themkt.com/_files/ugd/0e9433_acf79a397b6a48bab9ea568bfa00ae8f.pdf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnFoot Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Demo work going on inside the buildings at 621 Waverly. I also noticed that Triten is referring to this as a separate project (Swift) rather than another phase of M-K-T while still noting that it is adjacent to M-K-T. https://tritenre.com/projects/swift 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springcityparts Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 In February 2020, Houston Chronicle reported renewable energy firm Archaea Energy would be relocating its headquarters from Pittsburgh to a 40,000 square-foot space at MKT. BP North America, with offices in Houston, announced the planned acquisition of Archaea Energy Inc. in October 2022. Not long after, BP America completed their acquisiton of Archaea Energy for $4.1 Billion. Some time in the last month or two, retail leasing for MKT switched from Shop Companies to Open Realty Advisors. Compare the tenants for the two companies here: Shop, Open A few days ago I noticed they directory maps were shelled and sure enough they were updated to reflect some of the recent changes in shops at MKT. Of note: Honest Eats closed several months ago after a not. In its place, Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, a retailer focusing on pet grooming, pet food and supplies with over 200 locations Picnic Supply Co., the window concept adjacent to Highline Park remains listed in the directory map despite not seeming like it has been open over the past several months. Perhaps Picnic Supply Co. is more of a summer concept. Despite the presence of almost 40 retail concepts, there's still a noticeable absence of stores offering fresh food or basic grocery items, such as produce (like apples), pantry staples, or a bakery (for bread). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most grocery retail has razor thin margins, I wonder if someone would make it work here, given the already abundant choices nearby, many being/will be walkable/bikable.

A site plan for M-K-T is included in a recent marketing brochure for a nearby building. It's from leasing materials for The Swift Bldg. Located at 621 Waverly St, the building is a Triten Real Estate Partner redevelopment project. Based on the site plan, it appears some of the spaces previously available have been leased (or in leasing negotiations). It's also possible this may an outdated plan: Building 1 Squeeze Massage Rowan Sanna / Sanna baby and child A retailer I can't make out that's next to Sanna A retailer I can't make out that's next to Cariloha Building 4 Vuori Birddogs Made-In Good Vet Paper Source The image also shows plans for a future connecting pedestrian path.

IntheKnowHouston Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Milk tea shop Yumcha closed its M-K-T location last month. Replacing the shop is Hui Lau Shan.

The M-K-T mixed-use development in the Heights could soon have two new speculative retail suites up for lease. The Houston-based developers behind M-K-T — Radom Capital and Triten Real Estate Partners — have submitted paperwork to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation outlining plans to build out two suites in Building 5 of the development at 600 N. Shepherd Drive. Each of the suites is about 5,500 square feet, the filing said. Houston-based PDR Corp. has been tapped to design the build-out of the two spec suites, which the TDLR filings said are expected to cost a total of $2.4 million. The project is scheduled to start in December, according to the filing. TDLR filings are preliminary and are often subject to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
