The hospitality and gaming tycoon announced the acquisition Thursday of 5757 Memorial Drive, where a Comerica Bank is located. The branch was still open Thursday. Comerica Bank will rent the property until at least summer, when it plans to move, a Fertitta spokesperson said. The 1.6-acre property is just east of Memorial Park and Bayou Bend, north of River Oaks. “Memorial Drive is a renowned thoroughfare in Houston, and the synergy with Brenner’s (steakhouse) on the Bayou nearby made the decision simple. The adjacency of River Oaks and Memorial Park only enhances the appeal of this location, and we look forward to expanding our business in this area," Fertitta said in a statement. Fertitta is exploring development opportunities for the site, a spokesperson said." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/tilman-fertitta-buys-memorial-drive-property-18568104.php Maybe Fertitta want's to build a restaurant or get in to the high end condo craze that are also going to be built near here. hindesky I also heard don't know how true it is that he bought the older apartments on West Creek near Steak 48. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 "Fertitta acquired the upscale White House venue, which is directly behind the newly acquired property, in 2022. “Memorial Drive is a renowned thoroughfare in Houston, and the synergy with Brenner’s on the Bayou nearby made the decision simple,” he said in the release. “The adjacency of River Oaks and Memorial Park only enhances the appeal of this location, and we look forward to expanding our business in this area.” Comerica Bank plans to move once its lease is up, a spokesperson told the Houston Chronicle, and Fertitta is exploring development opportunities." https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/deal-sheet/this-weeks-houston-deal-sheet-tilman-fertitta-acquires-prime-memorial-drive-property-122225 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 I guess the mods consider this River Oaks even though it's not. Just like River Oaks Chrysler Dodge, far removed from River Oaks but since it has that name some consider it in River Oaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Surveying crew from AGS were on site. I asked if they knew what for and they told me they are surveying the perimeters of the property. With Comerica Bank moving out soon I guess Tilman Fertitta already has plans in mind for the property but what could they be? CBRE was also here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 I talked with an older couple that lives in the neighborhood that were walking the area who said they heard it was going to be a Bugatti Dealership. Tilman Fertitta already has one at his place on the west loop so it doesn't make sense to me. 🤷♂️ https://www.bugatti.com/?I=en 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrohip Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I always say you can't have too many Bugatti dealers close by. 😏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
