History

By 2005, Wulfe & Co. owned a strip mall at the south end of the current BLVD Place, then acquired the Pavilion at Post Oak mall occupying the north end of the site. The mall, which originally went by the glamorous name of Saks Fifth Avenue Center of Fashion, had long been in decline, especially since losing its anchor department store, Saks Fifth Avenue, in 1997 when Saks moved to a new $50 million location in The Galleria less than a mile away. In 2005 Wulfe announced its plans to demolish the Pavilion and use both parcels to create BLVD Place in phases.[4][3] The mall site is roughly the location of BLVD Place 6, and has the mall's old address, 1800 S. Post Oak.

The Hanover Co. constructed a 29-story high-rise residential tower in BLVD Place, known as Hanover Post Oak, on Шаблон:Cvt at the southwest corner of Post Oak Lane and San Felipe.[5][6]

In May 2012, Energy company Apache Corporation, currently headquartered nearby at Post Oak Central, acquired Шаблон:Cvt in BLVD Place for their Houston headquarters.[7][8][9]

Frost Bank signed a lease in Phase II of BLVD Place for Шаблон:Cvt. The bank will consolidate its Houston region headquarters into the new space.[2]

In April 2017, the real estate investment trust, Whitestone REIT, announced plans to buy the development for, along with Eldorado Plaza, $204.6 million.[10] The eventually acquired the development for $158 million.[11]
