Two L.A.-Based Hospitality Concepts Ink Deals at Houston Office/Retail Redevelopment Project

6/12/26

There have been a couple of recent signings to mention at Central Park Post Oak in Houston, as part of the project’s Phase 2 retail expansion. The new tenants, Élephante and Bar Bambino, two hospitality concepts from Los Angeles-based Wish You Were Here Group, will occupy 13.2k sf, with Élephante leasing 11.2k sf and Bar Bambino leasing 2k sf. The deals are expected to add a highly popular dining component to the continued evolution of the 17-acre mixed-use campus, located at 1990 Post Oak Blvd.

Élephante channels the spirit and cuisine of the Mediterranean, drawing inspiration from destinations such as Pantelleria and the Aeolian Islands. Known for its transportive sense of place, the concept brings together thoughtfully designed interiors, seasonal menus, light coastal Mediterranean cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and an extensive Italian wine program to create an experience that feels elevated, vibrant, and destination-worthy. Bar Bambino complements the mix with a design-forward cocktail lounge experience that adds depth to the campus’s social and evening appeal. The concepts will anchor the new Phase 2 green space at Central Park Post Oak, helping establish a lively focal point for dining, gathering, and day-to-night energy.

Central Park Post Oak is owned by 3Edgewood, Midway, and Parkway, redeveloped by Midway, and managed by Parkway. Office leasing for Central Park Post Oak is handled by Cushman & Wakefield, and retail leasing is handled by Bond Retail Partners.

The announcement marks another major milestone in the redevelopment of Central Park Post Oak as Midway unveils Phase 2 of the project. Phase 2 will introduce approximately 30k sf of new and integrated retail space, bringing the campus to over 150k sf of total retail across both phases, while also adding a dynamic central green space, a new conference facility, new office lobbies, exterior hardscape and landscape improvements, and continued garage renovations. Midway plans to break ground on Phase 2 by the end of 2026, building on the established momentum underway across the 17-acre mixed-use destination.
