Hunan Garden is victim of redevelopment Written by Tom Broad Published: 17 May 2021
Kingwood has lost a dining treasure. Hunan Garden served its last meal, at least at its current location in the “old” H-E-B shopping center, May 16.
“I am deeply saddened to say that, after 34 years in business in Kingwood, Hunan Garden will be closing its doors,” owner Jenny Wang Hou posted on her Facebook page April 22.
SDI Realty Advisors, a Houston-based real estate and development company, acquired the property in March and is redeveloping Kings Crossing Shopping Center by the end of 2021.
“Our new landlords are demolishing our restaurant to put up a breezeway. The result is they will have two restaurant end caps with patio spaces that they can get higher rent from. We are being forced to vacate,” Wang Hou posted. “Due to my Facebook post, they are no longer willing to negotiate with us. They want us out of the center.”
