Buffalo Heights District Construction Underway Mixed-use district with new prototype H-E-B, upscale multifamily, and office breaks ground Houston (For May 9, 2017)— Construction has started on phase one of the Buffalo Heights District, a new mixed-use real estate district located on Washington Avenue between South Heights Boulevard and Studemont Street. Community and business leaders celebrated the milestone at a ground-breaking ceremony on the construction site of the first phase. The initial construction will be a new 7-story mixed-use building which includes a new H-E-B, 230 upscale multifamily apartment units, and three floors of boutique office space. An additional 2,000 square feet of retail space is available next to H-E-B. “Houston is changing – just like a lot of other cities around the country,” said Russell Gordy the project’s owner and founder and President of SG Interests. “We are seeing people want to live closer to the city and not drive as much. We are hoping to make this a place where people can live, play and work.” Anchoring the property will be a new urban prototype H-E-B designed as an integrated part of the mixed-use building and purposefully redesigned to be unique from the traditional single-level stores typically found in suburban locations. With an expected completion of spring 2019, this H-E-B helps cement the district’s goal of creating a walkable community where a healthy lifestyle is cultivated via easily-accessible fresh food, outdoor activity and a wealth of natural spaces. The 96,000 square foot H-E-B will include a walk up coffee and food concept, providing both on-the-go and leisurely dining opportunities for residents and employees of the surrounding businesses. “We are excited about unveiling a new H-E-B prototype, which is ideal for the Washington corridor,” said Scott McClelland, President, H-E-B Houston. “When we learned of the plans for Buffalo Heights, we knew it was just the type of community more of Houston is going to want.” In addition to the H-E-B, the new building also includes five levels of multi-family apartments (the St. Andrie), and three levels of boutique office (One Buffalo Heights). Designed around the ideas of social connection, luxury and convenience, the St. Andrie MIDWAY | midwaycompanies.com
