Yale Street Industrial Park Redoers Don’t Want To Pave New Ways to Garden Oaks

Yale St. Commons Variance Request, Yale St. at 34th, Independence Heights, Houston, 77018

The name Yale Street Commons is currently sprinkled about the edge of the Pine Forest Business Center northeast of Yale and 34th St. in the form of a few variance request notices (like the one shown above standing by the abandoned strip of rail track running along the 36th St. side of the warehouse park).  That notice is for a request to merge 2 chunks of land within the rectangle made by Yale, 34th, 36th St., and the north-south line where E. 35th St. currently dead ends into the industrial-slash-office park, a few residential doors west of Cortlandt St.  The applicant also appears to be asking for permission not to extend E. 35th St. all the way through the property, which sits near the border between Independence Heights and Garden Oaks.  The 6-acre center, which in recent years has housed a variety of construction contractors, was sold in May to Stonelake Capital — currently at work on the Westheimer Oaks center and that Westheimer-fronting 5-acre make-it-a-park-for-now on either side of Mid Ln.

  • i think the editor meant Independence Heights and Garden Oaks..

  • Oops! Thanks, Adoile — fixed now!

  • Oak Forest / Garden Oaks is a gold mine. Surely some upscale commerical developers are paying attention to the average home price. Rivaling memorial, bellaire, and river oaks – hopefully we will get some nicer, unique restaurants, bars, and stores.
