Re: Henderson Avenue Corridor

Looks like the main development on Henderson will be delayed longer. Saw workers making some repairs to the parking lot where Chubbies/Warby Parker used to be and stripe some new parking spots. They seem to be planning on using it as a lot for a while….

Re: Henderson Avenue Corridor

Ah interesting. Collection are definitely all rentals. Surprised they were able to get that through permitting given that the properties are all so disparately placed in a decently large radius of a few miles.

Re: Henderson Avenue Corridor

Anyone in the neighborhood know what the Moser House at the collection is supposed to be? Been running by it as they've been building it over the last 6-9 months and it never made sense to me as to what was going up there. Now that it is near completion it looks like mini open offices with a pool an...

If their plan is to be conservative and move along slowly, which seems likely given the plan to slow play the build out by only starting at 12,000 sq ft on that corner, it doesn't make sense to kick out all of your existing tenants in the building across the street to raze and rebuild.

Re: Henderson Avenue Corridor

Hope you are right! I saw them as well as I was driving by on my home. Doubt the buyers would have paid that much with the intent to sit on the property, so I expect they will be doing at least some work in prep to get it started. Hopefully nothing during that process throws a wrench in the plans.

Re: Cityplace East: ACS/Xerox redevelopment (The Central)

Only the Streetlight tower will start next month. Actually a high probability of that one as they have a ~20 floor sweet spot that they rinse and repeat and have successfully pulled off in Dallas multiple times. Who knows about the remaining portions of the project.
