Catching up on real estate rumors, almost facts, and the like:
• No word yet on whether anyone is interested in the old Carrabba’s space in the Lakewood Shopping Center. I left another message for Greg Pierce at Collier’s, who is handling the leasing, but have not heard back. I talked to a couple of tenants, none of whom had heard anything. I did run down one rumor, that Patrizio’s might be interested. Not true, said a Patrizio’s official.
• We’ve had quite a bit of discussion here about luring a movie theater/restaurant concept to the area, and I ran across a local company that has pretty much ignored this part of town. Movie Tavern, with offices on Coit Road, has locations in Arlington, Bedford, Denton, Fort Worth, Houston and Humble, as well as Colorado, Kentucky and Ohio.
• Confused by all those real estate stores, surveys, polls and statistics that show the market going every which way? We’re going to try to put something together, using the numbers we run every month in the magazine, to give a clearer picture of what’s happening in this area. We’ll run it on the blog or website, hopefully in the next week or so.
