Post Oak Central is a mixed-use development in Houston's Uptown District that encompasses three office towers and 90,000 square feet of retail space.

However, according to a June 4 news release, Midway, a real estate development and investment company in Houston, wants to transform the 17-acre campus into a premier mixed-use destination.

What we know

The release states that the revitalized development, which will be renamed Central Park Post Oak, has already secured three major tenants, including:
  • The Henry: A Fox Restaurant concept known for its neighborhood vibe and upscale take on American classics, intended to open in fall 2026
  • TDECU, or Texas Dow Employees Credit Union: One of the largest Houston-area credit unions will occupy 125,000 square feet in tower one
  • BBVA, or Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria: A Spanish multinational financial services company has leased a full floor in tower two
"Businesses today are increasingly seeking immersive, amenity-rich workplaces in prime locations to help attract and retain top talent," Matt Mooney, COO of Parkway, a partner in the project, said in the release. "Central Park Post Oak is designed to meet that demand."

More details

Redevelopment partners also seek to include more than 150,000 square feet of mixed-use retail and restaurant space, with 60,000 square feet of new construction and enhancement of existing areas.


According to the release, two new buildings will also be developed along Post Oak Boulevard, the current corporate lawn will be transformed into a green space and the project will include on-street parking, renovated parking garages and new retailers and restaurants.

Midway also intends to reposition several of the site's heritage live oak trees to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment.

Clayton Freels, executive vice president of Midway, said in the release that the reimagining of Central Park Post Oak is intended to complement and enhance the newly revitalized Post Oak Boulevard.

The boulevard, located between San Felipe Street and Westheimer Road near the Galleria, recently underwent a $192 million renovation to create a more walkable district with wide sidewalks, new lighting and nearly 1,000 oak trees, according to Uptown Houston.

"Our vision is to create a dynamic, walkable urban destination that honors the Boulevard’s rich history while meeting the evolving needs of Houston's Uptown District," Freels said. "We are crafting a lifestyle for those who work, shop and dine here."

The Central Park Post Oak project officially broke ground in April. Completion is slated for fall 2026.
