After Mega Reno, Prime Post Oak Plot Announces Its Next Five Tenants

Post Oak Plaza

ONE OF THE most highly trafficked corners in the city has undergone a tremendous transformation over the past five years, and it's nearing completion.

Post Oak Plaza, located on the southeast corner of Post Oak at San Felipe, has been reimagined to be a more pedestrian-friendly experience, one bolstered by the addition of the Zadoks' Post Oak Place and the continued evolution of BLVD Place. The newest openings at the LEVCOR-owned Post Oak Plaza include new outposts of the Umami-happy Rakkan Ramen, taqueria fave Tacodeli, and beloved staple Local Foods (with a huge patio!).

Luxury mattress purveyor Saatva also opened a 4,000-square-foot "viewing room" in the development, showcasing their handcrafted mattresses and eco-friendly bedding alongside high-end furnishings and tech-savvy offerings. And a new interactive appliance showroom has nearly 15,000 square feet of the best Bosch, Thermador and Gaggenau products.

These new additions bring the total occupancy of the BRR Architects-designed center to 98 percent; restaurants and home retailers make up the majority of tenants. Arhaus, Bassett Furniture, Home Source, Kohler and Madison Lily are among the other furniture and home stores here, while Bluestone Lane, Balboa Surf Club, il Bracco, Kenny & Ziggy's and Nando's Peri Peri are dishing out good eats for Galleria-area visitors.

'Caribbean Blues' by Baptiste

AT THE OPENING of Haitian-born Mathieu JN Baptiste’s exhibit Dyaspora, currently on view at The Jung Center of Houston through Dec. 21, Baptiste’s good friend and fellow Haitian Jean Michel Celestin surprised the gathering with a blessing he played on a shofar, an ancient instrument typically made of a ram's horn and used for Jewish religious activities. Celestin chose the shofar for its similarity to the cylindrical trumpets blown in Haiti to celebrate Batay Vètyè, or Battle of Vertières Day, which commemorates the last major battle of the Haitian Revolution, and the end of colonial rule in Haiti (then Saint-Domingue).
