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.

Event chairs Jody Merritt and Christine Johnson accomplished a fantastic mission of raising $875,000, and are pledging to round up the final amount to a million dollars, all going toward CAP's shelter, rescue and adoption efforts.
