    Forced to move

    The teardown plan: New River Oaks District development wants to cash in onlocation & walkability

    Whitney Radley

    • OliverMcMillan expects to break ground on the $275 million, 15-acre project inearly 2013.
    • Expected amenities include high-end shops, fine dining restaurants, street cafesand a movie theater.
    • A five-story office building and 278 residential units are also planned.

    Tenants at 4444 Westheimer have always known that the charming, if dated, 1960s-era apartment complex was about "Location! Location! Location!," with its spot near Highland Village touted for its proximity to uptown, downtown and the Galleria area.

    But those residents are looking for new digs after receiving eviction notices.

    No one cares about carpet stains, after all, if the building's just going to be demolished anyway.

    Owner OliverMcMillan has a grander purpose in mind for the 15-acre tract: River Oaks District, a $275 million mixed-use development that includes 650,000 square feet of retail, office and residential space.

    This project was in the works before the recession (it's re-emerged slightly diminished, without two initially-planned four star hotels), and is expected to include high-end shops, fine dining restaurants, street cafes and a movie theater, plus a five-story office building and 278 residential units.

    Add this to the recent news of a 12-acre mixed-use project slated for the corner of Westheimer and Mid Lane, plus the near completion of the Millennium High Street luxury apartment complex at 4410 Westheimer, and you've got a recipe for walkabililty. Or traffic.

    A statement released by OliverMcMillan details the way that the company is making transition "easier" for the current residents of 4444 Westheimer, who must be off of the property by Dec. 31: By providing a team of move-out concierges and a comprehensive move-out package that includes "a listing of neighboring communities, moving procedures and an incentive plan" — up to a one-month rent rebate plus return of full security deposits.

    No one cares about carpet stains, after all, if the building's just going to be demolished anyway.

    These splashy "incentives" have done unfortunately little to assuage the inconvenience of a 30- or 60-day warning, which has left residents feeling "mistreated."

    The company is expected to break ground on the River Oaks District in early 2013, with an expected completion in the fall of 2014.

    Post Oak property redeveloped

    Renovated Galleria development will add 'greatest neighborhood restaurant'

    The complex will add two new buildings.

    A Galleria-area office complex has announced a comprehensive series of renovations and upgrades designed to make it one of the area’s premier mixed-use destinations. Renovations are currently underway at the Post Oak Central development, which will now be known as Central Park Post Oak.

    Located at 2000 Post Oak Boulevard between Westheimer and San Felipe, Central Park Post Oak is a 17-acre parcel that consists of three high-rise office buildings with a combined 1.2 million square feet of office separated by an expansive lawn. Houston-based real estate development firm Midway, working with real estate investment firms 3Edgewood and Parkway, plans to replace that lawn with two new retail buildings and a greenspace. The changes are partially inspired by the Post Oak Boulevard redevelopment project that added more than 1,000 trees, wider sidewalks, and dedicated bus lanes to the bustling thoroughfare.

    "Our vision is to create a dynamic, walkable urban destination that honors the Boulevard’s rich history while meeting the evolving needs of Houston's Uptown District. We are crafting a lifestyle for those who work, shop, and dine here," Midway executive vice president Clayton Freels said in a statement.

    One anchor of the new retail component will be the first Houston location of The Henry, a restaurant that will occupy a newly-constructed, 7,000-square-foot, jewel box space. Part of Fox Restaurant Concepts (North Italia, Flower Child), The Henry is described as “the greatest neighborhood restaurant.” It’s open for weekday breakfast, weekend brunch, lunch, and dinner with an eclectic menu that includes sandwiches, salads, sushi, steak, seafood, and more.

    Other changes to the property include the addition of on-street parking, upgrades to the complex’s parking garages, and more new retailers and restaurants that will be announced in the coming months. The project began construction in April with plans to finish by fall 2026.

    In addition, Midway announced that TDECU will occupy 125,000 square feet in Central Park One and BBVA has leased a floor (20,000 square feet) in Central Park Two.
