POST Houston

Lovett Commercial is rehabilitating Houston’s mid-century modern Barbara Jordan Post Office into a large-scale, mixed-use destination. Rebranded as POST Houston, the adapted post office will include offices, retail, event spaces, restaurants, bars, a food hall with local vendors and international cuisine, Houston’s largest concert venue, and Houston’s largest rooftop park. Ryan’s Historic Tax Credits team is helping to make the ambitious project a reality by consulting on historic tax credits, so far helping to secure $26 million in federal historic tax credits and $32 million in state historic tax credits for the completed first phase of the rehabilitation.

Located across from Buffalo Bayou Park, the 500,000 square foot “groundscraper” will feature a five-acre rooftop park with views of the downtown skyline. The rooftop will also include the world’s largest organic, urban farm with “roof-to-table" capabilities, servicing POST’s restaurants and food-hall vendors.
