The neighborhood

Second Ward isn't
a bet. It's a result.

James Beard awards. Michelin Bib Gourmands. Community climbing gym, local coffee shops, and the Voodoo Queen are gems that keep people visiting Second Ward. The 77003 zip code became a destination on its own — long before The HALO. We're joining a neighborhood that's already proven its demand.

"a place people want to walk through, not just drive to."

The building

Industrial bones.
Made civic.

Originally built in 1979, 3600 Harrisburg has watched Second Ward transform around it. The 2026 renovation keeps the warehouse's high ceilings, natural light, and neighborhood weight — and pairs them with a copper-toned perforated metal facade, cascading greenery, and a continuous neon wire-art installation that doubles as the building's light at night.

Adaptive reuse

A 1979 warehouse becomes Class A mixed-use — high ceilings, industrial bones, new envelope.

Signature facade

Perforated copper-toned metal screens, warm wood siding, cascading greenery, neon wire-art light installation.

Restaurant-ready

Full-building sprinkler system, community grease trap, hood-vent capability, brand-new roof and mechanicals.

15-foot pedestrian easement

Dedicated walking corridor running through the site — built-in foot traffic past every storefront.

26+ private parking

Dedicated lot plus ample street parking. Bike racks throughout.

Activated green space

Landscaped planters, outdoor dining, native gardens — the property becomes the social hub.

Good to know

Questions,
answered.

The things tenants ask before they call. Anything else — just reach out.

What type of lease is it? +

Modified Gross. Rates run $22–$36 / SF / yr depending on the suite and use. Terms are negotiable — talk to us about your concept.

When does it deliver? +

Yes — a community grease trap, full-building sprinkler system, and hood-vent capability, plus new storefront glass, high-efficiency insulation, and upgraded mechanicals.

How is the space delivered, and is there a buildout allowance? +

Delivery condition and tenant-improvement allowance are negotiated per deal and per use. Lock in early and we’ll work the buildout around your concept — reach out and we’ll walk through specifics.

What about parking and transit? +

A private lot with 26+ spaces plus ample street parking and bike racks — and you’re one block from the METRORail 2nd Ward stop, six minutes from Downtown.

How do I tour or ask a question? +

Call or text Melissa at 713-510-3570, or email melissa.abrantes.realtor@gmail.com. No forms — just reach out and we’ll set up a walkthrough.

Who's behind it

Meet the
developers.

The HALO is a small, local project — built by people who’ve actually run restaurants and made spaces. You’ll be dealing with us directly.

Melissa Abrantes
Melissa Abrantes
Developer · Listing broker

A born-and-raised Houstonian, Melissa spent 10 years in restaurants before bringing that hospitality background into commercial real estate. Her goal is simple: build projects that foster genuine connection and inspired environments. Off the clock, you’ll find her gardening or at the library with her baby boy.

Jarred Pruitt
Jarred Pruitt
Developer · Builder

Jarred builds the cool stuff — restaurants and homes with real character. He brings an “artfully wild” style to the project, focused on creating spaces where people actually want to linger. When he puts down the hammer, you’ll likely find him with a burger and a cold beer at Harrisburg Country Club.

Tour the building

Walk it before
the sheetrock
goes up.

The HALO delivers Winter 2026. Tenants who lock in now influence buildout, choose suite configuration, and lock rates before the building's complete. No forms — call, text, or email and we'll set up a walkthrough.
