Introduction to Central Park Post Oak
A major renovation is underway at the Post Oak Central development, which will now be known as Central Park Post Oak. This comprehensive series of renovations and upgrades aims to make it one of the area’s premier mixed-use destinations. Located at 2000 Post Oak Boulevard, 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 space.
The Renovation Plans
The renovations are being led by Houston-based real estate development firm Midway, in partnership with real estate investment firms 3Edgewood and Parkway. The plans include replacing the existing lawn with two new retail buildings and a greenspace. This change is partially inspired by the Post Oak Boulevard redevelopment project, which added over 1,000 trees, wider sidewalks, and dedicated bus lanes to the area. The goal 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.
New Retail and Dining Options
One of the anchor tenants of the new retail component will be The Henry, a restaurant that will occupy a newly-constructed, 7,000-square-foot space. The Henry is a Fox Restaurant Concept that offers an eclectic menu, including sandwiches, salads, sushi, steak, seafood, and more. It will be open for weekday breakfast, weekend brunch, lunch, and dinner. Other new retailers and restaurants will be announced in the coming months, adding to the area’s vibrant dining and shopping scene.
Upgrades and Additions
In addition to the new retail buildings, the project includes on-street parking, upgrades to the complex’s parking garages, and other improvements. The project began construction in April and is expected to be completed by fall 2026. Midway has also 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.
Conclusion
The renovations at Central Park Post Oak are set to transform the area into a premier mixed-use destination. With its new retail buildings, greenspace, and dining options, it will be an exciting place to work, shop, and dine. The project’s focus on creating a dynamic, walkable urban destination will make it a great addition to Houston’s Uptown District. As the project nears completion, it will be exciting to see the final result and how it will impact the local community.
