HOUSTON, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- EDENS, a retail real estate owner, operator and developer with more than 125 retail places nationally, announced redevelopment plans and a new restaurant for Uptown Park— a vibrant collection of shops, restaurants and services located in the heart of uptown Houston.
"We know Uptown Park serves as a dynamic destination for the best shopping and dining available in the city," said Tom Kiler, Managing Director at EDENS. "Every new retail shop and restaurant will enhance our current offering, while updating Uptown Park's aesthetic will create a fresh and better-connected environment for our current and future retail partners, locals and visitors, alike."
Flower Child, an Arizona-based health food concept, is the first new restaurant with plans to open this summer.
"We are excited to partner with EDENS and bring Flower Child's health-food menu to Houston and have found the perfect location at Uptown Park," said Sam Fox, President of Fox Restaurant Concepts. "Wellness-conscious guests will find satisfaction in our natural and organic foods that are locally sourced and served quickly with a smile."
The extensive redevelopment plans are focused on utilizing the abundant outdoor space to maximize areas for guests to unwind and socialize. The addition of trellises will span the property and provide shaded walkways that will connect the buildings, while outdoor conversation areas equipped with wireless internet will provide meeting and lounging spots. Common areas throughout the property will also be refreshed and enhanced with art to create a cohesive destination for the community to enjoy.
