by Abby Cox

HOUSTON — Houston-based Midway, in collaboration with 3Edgewood and Parkway, has unveiled plans for Central Park Post Oak, a mixed-use redevelopment project located in Houston’s Uptown District. Formerly Post Oak Central, the co-developers will revitalize the 17-acre campus to include additional retail, new restaurants and green space. Midway and Parkway formed a joint venture to acquire the campus in October 2023 before recently buying out their investment partners. Developed by Gerald D. Hines Interests in the 1970s, the campus currently contains three office buildings totaling 1.2 million square feet and 90,000 square feet of retail space. Redevelopment of the property will comprise more than 150,000 square feet of mixed-use retail and restaurant space, including 60,000 square feet of new construction. Two additional buildings will be developed along Post Oak Boulevard with a “prominent jewel box restaurant” planned at the corner of Ambassador Way. To create a more walkable district, the City of Houston recently completed a $192 million renovation of Post Oak Boulevard that featured widened sidewalks and streets, new lighting and nearly 1,000 oak trees. Midway also plans to reposition several of the site’s heritage live oak trees to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment. “We are reimagining Central Park …
