Add F45 Training to the list of businesses taking over warehouses next to where I-45 will run over a few of its own once its rerouted through East Downtown. That’s the gym’s black box in the photo at top, neighbored by the Ferris wheel that new-ish bar Truck Yard recently installed in its own next-door lot. North of an adjacent portion of the building that F45 hasn’t touched, exterior work added new horizontal siding a couple shades darker than the previous off-white onto the structure, as well as the doorway — pictured above — atop which the national fitness chain has been flexing its COMING SOON signage for the past few months.
A permit filed yesterday for the building at 1110 Hutchins indicates rehab work is about to head inside to deal with a 2,650-sq.-ft. portion of its space. It’s 10,000 sq.-ft. total and backs up nearly halfway down the block on Lamar St. where it stands off from the south side of the Kim Hung Supermarket, long-whispered to be about to be demolished for something much taller.

As if parking in EaDo isn’t bad enough already.
Just wait until construction begins and all of the parking lots on the northwest side of St. Emanuel are eminent domain’d and dug up for the I-45 reroute. It’s going to be a real cluster then, especially on an Astros or Dynamo game day.

Only good news is that we are a few years away from that part of the project happening.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a vodka distillery – Our Vodka?
Our Vodka broke their lease which is how the space became available.
