An Uptown Houston office campus is set to be transformed into a mix-use environment that will include two new retail buildings.   

Midway, a private real estate investment and development firm, in collaboration with 3Edgewood and Parkway revealed plans to revamp the Post Oak Central development and rebrand as Central Park Post Oak.  

Post Oak Central currently features 1.2 million square feet of office space and 90,000 square feet of retail space. The redevelopment plan includes more than 150,000 square feet of mixed-use retail and restaurant space. 

A New Retail Environment 

“We are reimagining Central Park Post Oak to complement and enhance the newly revitalized Post Oak Boulevard,” said Clayton Freels, Executive Vice President of Midway.  “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. We are crafting a lifestyle for those who work, shop, and dine here.”  

The recent $192 million Boulevard Project transformed Post Oak Boulevard into a grand, green-lined passage reminiscent of New York’s Park Avenue. The renovation created a more walkable district, widening the boulevard and sidewalks and installing 300 new pedestrian lights with nearly 1,000 live oak trees. 

Central Park Post Oak will also feature convenient on-street parking, renovated parking garages, and a line of new retailers and restaurants, including a jewel box restaurant and The Henry, a Fox Restaurant concept opening fall 2026. 

Meeting the Demand  

Two new office tenants, TDECU and BBVA, will occupy Central Park One and Central Park Two.   

“Businesses today are increasingly seeking immersive, amenity-rich workplaces in prime locations to help attract and retain top talent,” said Matt Mooney, COO, Parkway. “Central Park Post Oak is designed to meet that demand.”  

Redevelopment Timeline  

The project broke ground in April 2025 and is slated for completion in the fall of 2026.   

In addition to Midway, the project team includes Page, OJB, and Hoar Construction.
