Park and Apartments added at Regent Square

In Houston, Regent Square, a 24-acre urban infill multi-use district along the Allen Parkway corridor between downtown and River Oaks has just completed a park, upscale restaurant space and a seven-story apartment building.

In The developer, Gid Development Group, calls this new 8, acre addition “phase two.”

Green space, pedestrian retail and dining and park programming are key to the plan.

“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,” as stated by a GID press release.

The park is framed by 55,000 SF of street level retail, leased by JLL – including three jewel box spaces with rooftop decks at the corner of W. Dallas and Dunlavy streets.
