As for the Freed Montrose Library, I hope whoever moves into that space when the library moves restores it because it's a great building and definitely worth saving. No confirmation on what will happen to the structure. Not clear if sold to a developer or not.

Related to this move to the Montrose Collective, the current building may be sold to the University of St. Thomas. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 thank you but meant in the map a few posts up...it looks like it says retail/retail/cafe up there in area where The Burger Joint is (i go there often and love that place) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityliving Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I think the Burger joint will stay as far as I know, the library-retail Cafe will be going up on Grant street on the parking lot behind the Burger Joint.

X.R. Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Yeah, there is another map that showed that the burger joint and its loveable-but-janky parking lot will be staying where it is. Learned this the other day, if you go there on a bike, you get 10% off. One can hope maybe the collective retail/cafe people see that and decide to also do that...you know...to encourage walkability and stuff. Impressive, and maybe shows a bit of what the developers are about, that they are preserving the trees. They know how to get to a montrose resident's heart. Edit: this was what I was referring to, which I think shows BJ is being left alone but maybe not the parking lot.

The main office tenant is Live Nation, they will be taking ~75K SF on floors 4,5 & 6. I'll go ahead and be proactive... see below from Costar: Entertainment company Live Nation has signed an office lease for creative space under construction in Houston in one of the city's biggest office deals so far this year. Live Nation, the world’s largest concert promoter, is planning to take about 75,000 square feet on floors 4, 5 and 6 in one of the buildings at the 800 block of Westheimer in the Montrose Collective mixed-use project, according to sources familiar with the company's search for space. A representative for Los Angeles-based Live Nation declined to comment "at this time." Montrose Collective is being developed by Radom Capital, which just broke ground on the project Westheimer by the Uchi restaurant at 904 Westheimer. The area was recently named as one of the nation’s top 20 coolest streets in a report by Cushman & Wakefield because of its walkability, diversity, nightlife, food scene and vintage stores. Plans include a 150,000-square-foot project, with about 40,000 square feet of high-end shops and restaurants, plus about 110,000 square feet of office space. The project team behind Montrose Collective previously said a technology tenant leased 75,000 square feet of office space, but declined to identify the tenant. Live Nation describes itself as an entertainment company, but it owns Ticketmaster, a massive online ticketing platform. Live Nation's current Houston office is located about 4 1/2 miles west of Montrose Collective at 2000 West Loop South in the Uptown-Galleria area, according to Moody Rabin, which leases the building for the owner. Live Nation leases about 48,000 square feet at 2000 West Loop South in a lease that expires in December 2021, according to Moody Rambin. It is not clear if Live Nation plans to vacate the space or use the Montrose area space as an expansion of its Houston operations. Live Nation, which posted $8.7 billion in revenue for the first nine months of last year, has been expanding its footprint elsewhere around the country. The company recently signed a 40,000-square-foot lease in a two-level space in a proposed high-rise in Seattle at 1200 Stewart, according to media reports. In December, Live Nation was also in talks to lease 40,000 square feet in a new Nashville project proposed at Fourth Avenue South and Chestnut Street. Live Nation declined to comment on any of its recent real estate leases. The entertainment company made almost $254.6 million in profit for the first nine months of last year, up about 13% from the same time the previous year, according to its most recent earnings results. Last fall, the company announced it had booked more than 1,500 stadium concerts and festivals in 2020, posting double-digit growth from the same time in 2018. Its full year 2019 earnings have not yet been released. Live Nation is under fire from anti-trust enforcers at the Justice Department for allegedly violating an agreement that allowed its merger with Ticketmaster in 2009. The agreement, which was recently extended into 2025, prohibits Live Nation from forcing venues to use Ticketmater instead of its competitors. The Justice Department has accused Live Nation of strong-arming six venues into using Tickemaster, which the concert giant has denied, according to media reports. Meanwhile, other large office deals signed in Houston so far this include a renewal and expansion by Enterprise Products Partners in downtown Houston at 1100 Louisiana for 512,845 square feet; about 92,500-square-foot sublease for EDP Renewables North America at 1501 McKinney St., also in downtown; and a 69,000-square-foot sublease in Houston's Uptown-Galleria area at 1500 Post Oak Blvd. for Sempra Energy, according to CoStar data. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
