HOUSTON – (Realty News Report) – Regent Square, a 24-acre urban infill mixed-use district along the Allen Parkway corridor between downtown and River Oaks, has completed a new park, an upscale restaurant space, and a seven-story apartment building.
The developer, GID Development Group, refers to this 8-acre expansion as “phase two.”
Green space, pedestrian-oriented retail and dining, and curated park programming are central elements of the plan.
Houston-based Arch-Con Corp., led by CEO Michael Scheurich, served as the general contractor. Design work was provided by Boston-based CBT and Houston’s OJB Landscape Architecture.
According to a GID press release, “A classically inspired pedestrian promenade bisected by a signature water feature, tree-lined Regent Square Park encompasses two central greens spanning nearly an acre. Each is served by a covered pavilion to support upcoming programming, ranging from outdoor movies and live music to fitness and markets.”
The park is bordered by 55,000 square feet of street-level retail—marketed by JLL—including three boutique retail spaces with rooftop decks at the corner of W. Dallas and Dunlavy streets.
“Our vision for Regent Square has always been to create a cosmopolitan destination along premier acreage fronting the Allen Parkway Corridor, fulfilling the need for a pedestrian-friendly center that is energized by a mix of diverse retail, exceptional restaurants, and contemporary entertainment concepts,” said James Linsley, President of GID Development Group.
Located just south of Buffalo Bayou Park, Regent Square sits between The Heights to the north and Montrose to the south.
The new residential component, The Sterling, is a 590-unit mid-rise multifamily project managed by GID’s multifamily affiliate, Windsor Communities. The on-site leasing center is at 3515 W. Dallas Street.
