    Texas jewelry designer Kendra Scott plants a yellow rose in the Heights

    Kendra Scott is bringing Western flair to Houston with the grand opening of the first Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott in the Heights. This concept is an extension of the jewelry designer's beloved brand, featuring a stylish mix of Western-inspired jewelry, hats, boots, bags, apparel, and accessories.

    Since launching the brand extension in 2023 with a flagship store in Austin, Scott has made a move to complete the Texas trifecta by opening Yellow Rose stores in Dallas and Houston. The Heights Mercantile location, which opens on Friday, February 21, marks the brand's third Yellow Rose outpost and 150th store. Scott moved to the Houston area as a teenager, making the Bayou City a meaningful part of her journey.

    "The Houston community is incredibly special to me, and I couldn't be more excited to bring Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott to the Heights," said Scott in a statement.

    The latest outpost features both rugged and romantic decor inspired by life on a ranch. The store is curated to give shoppers a one-of-a-kind experience and showcase Scott's love of Texas. Much of the decor comes from Scott's personal finds, including an antique jewelry case and horse stools from Round Top. Large, colorful rugs, pillows, and framed art give the space a cozy, lived-in feel. A custom mural installation by artist Kyle Bunting welcomes guests as they enter, and a neon sign by Neon Jungle adds to the fun vibe.

    With Yellow Rose, Scott has strived to put a modern and eclectic twist on Western wear. A portion of proceeds from every purchase of Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott is donated to Nest's Women of the West fund that provides mentorship, coaching, funding, and peer support for the next generation of U.S. artisans, makers, and entrepreneurs in the American West.

    In addition to the Yellow Rose brand, the outpost features a carefully curated range of products, including Yellow Rose x Wrangler Denim, Arloom, HBarC, Three Sons, Daydreamer, Juan Antonio Leather, Calyton & Crume.

    3 hot wellness studios move swiftly into new Heights development

    The Swift BLDG is expected to open in late 2026.

    A new mixed-use development in the Heights has announced its next round of tenants. Three wellness businesses are coming to The Swift BLDG, Houston developers Radom Capital and Triten Real Estate Partners’ project in the historic Swift & Company Packing Plant that’s located near the Heights Hike & Bike Trail.

    They are:
    • SweatHouz, a contrast therapy studio
    • Strong Pilates Studio
    • The Skin Clinic, a Houston-based aesthetics and skincare destination

    Scheduled to open in winter 2026, SweatHouz will offer infrared saunas, cold plunges, and other protocols to improve a person’s well-being. The protocols are focused on areas such as athletic recovery, reducing stress, improving circulation, mental health, and longevity. In addition, it will offer a beauty bar equipped with Dyson hot tolls and a beverage station stocked with different waters.

    Building on the success of its Katy location that opened last year, Strong Pilates Studio will occupy 2,500 square feet in the Swift BLDG. Using Rowformer and Bikeformer machines, customers have the opportunity to take classes in Strong Body, Strong Loaded, and Strong Pilates-Only. It’s expected to open in the fall.

    “Our method blends strength, cardio, and reformer-based training into one, delivering real results in just 45 minutes. This isn’t just Pilates — it’s a new standard for fitness in Houston. And a community that sweats together stays strong,” franchisee Mona Hussein-Zaki said in a statement.

    Currently located in M-K-T, the Skin Clinic will more than double its footprint by relocated to the Swift BLDG. The clinic’s services focus on skin health and rejuvenation. It also expected to open in the fall.

    “The response from this community has been incredible, and Swift gives us the room to grow into what our patients have been asking for: more space, more services, and the same patient-centered care that got us here." founder Kelli Nwuli said.

    All three businesses join previously announced tenants such as Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, premium juice bar Leemoo, Merit Coffee, and Houston Tex-Mex staple Escalante’s.

    On track to open to the public in fall 2026, The Swift BLDG will offer more than 30,000 square feet of office space along with 30,000 square feet of restaurant and retail tenants. The two companies previously partnered on M-K-T, the Heights mixed-use development that’s near the Swift project. Radom is known for a number of other Houston developments, including the Montrose Collective and the historic Tower Theater property and its adjacent buildings.
