ONESWEAT, Little Ruby’s and 81,000 square feet of office leasing fuel continued momentum at mixed-use destination
(HOUSTON, TX) – Midway, together with 3Edgewood and Parkway, today announced a new round of leasing at Central Park Post Oak, adding a boutique fitness concept and an all-day dining destination to the campus's retail lineup alongside 81,000 square feet of new office leasing across Central Park One and Central Park Two. The new leases bring total office leasing commitments at Central Park Post Oak to more than 280,000 square feet since the campus's redevelopment was announced.
"ONESWEAT builds on the wellness foundation we have already established at Central Park Post Oak, joining TruFusion and our on-site fitness center as part of a broader health and wellness offering in Uptown,” said Clayton Freels, Executive Vice President, Midway. "Paired with Little Ruby's all-day dining concept, these additions round out the everyday experience we want office tenants to have here, from an early workout to dinner with colleagues."
On the retail side, ONESWEAT, the Houston-born boutique fitness brand redefining the city's wellness landscape, has signed a lease for 3,000 square feet of new retail space at the base of Central Park One. Founded in 2018, ONESWEAT built its reputation on a signature format that fuses treadmill-based cardio intervals with floor-based strength training; a concept that has since evolved into a full studio ecosystem spanning HIIT, infrared heated Pilates-inspired mat work, reformer Pilates, and specialty performance training. Each format and experience is engineered with the same obsessive attention to detail: premium equipment, curated music, immersive lighting, and proprietary training academy graduating instructors trained to deliver a best-in-class experience. With eight studios across the Houston area, ONESWEAT has become synonymous with a new standard of boutique fitness; one that blends performance, aesthetics, and community into a single, elevated brand.
Little Ruby's has signed a lease for 3,500 square feet, bringing an all-day dining concept spanning breakfast through dinner to Central Park Post Oak. Part of Los Angeles-based Wish You Were Here Group, Little Ruby's was founded in 2002 in New York's SoHo neighborhood and has since grown into a fixture across the city, along with a recent expansion to Dallas. Known for its Australian-inspired, all-day menu—including its signature Bronte burger, house-made pastas, and ricotta hotcakes—alongside a full coffee and specialty cocktail program, Little Ruby's joins Élephante and Bar Bambino as Wish You Were Here Group's third concept at Central Park Post Oak, deepening the hospitality group's presence on the campus and giving tenants and visitors another reason to be there from the start of the workday through the evening.
”We couldn’t be more excited to bring Little Ruby’s to Houston alongside Élephante. Ruby’s has always been about creating a true neighborhood restaurant, a place you can go for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and somewhere that feels right for any occasion and with anyone, whether it’s a quick coffee, a meal with friends or a family dinner,” said Nick Mathers, founder of Wish You Were Here Group. ”Houston is one of the most exciting hospitality markets in the country, and from the beginning, we saw an opportunity to make a deeper commitment to the city than simply bringing Élephante here. Having both restaurants within the same project allows us to bring two distinct experiences to Houston, while sharing the same philosophy around hospitality, community and creating places people genuinely want to return to. We’re incredibly excited about Houston and see this as the beginning of a long-term relationship with the city.”
On the office side, Central Park Post Oak has announced 81,000 square feet of new leasing across six tenants. SESCO, the U.S. headquarters of global cement distribution and terminal operations company SESCO Group, has leased 30,000 square feet across two floors of Central Park One. Five additional tenants have leased a combined 51,000 square feet at Central Park Two, including a 7,500-square-foot, fully furnished, move-in-ready suite at Central Park Suites.
“This leasing activity reflects the continued momentum at Central Park Post Oak and the broad range of office options the campus can offer today,” said Matt Mooney, chief executive officer of Parkway. “From large, traditional office footprints to fully furnished, move-in-ready Central Park Suites, we are meeting companies where they are and providing the flexibility they need. With more than 280,000 square feet of office leasing commitments secured since announcing the redevelopment, Central Park Post Oak is continuing to emerge as a destination in its own right.”
The new leases build on continued momentum at Central Park Post Oak. On the office side, recent activity includes TDECU's approximately 125,000-square-foot headquarters space in Central Park One, BBVA's 20,000-square-foot full-floor lease in Central Park Two, and leases with Renewa, Terra Energy Partners, and Houston Business Journal. On the retail side, ONESWEAT and Little Ruby's join a growing roster of chef-driven and design-forward dining and lifestyle concepts, including Handies Douzo, The Henry, Sparrow Italia, Buck & Rider, Élephante, and Bar Bambino.
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.
