In addition to offering an eclectic collection of restaurants, food halls can serve as a gathering place, or a community hub, which is exactly what makes the opening of the Understory so exciting.
Located underneath the Bank of America Tower development in Houston, Texas, this unique facility is set to serve "chef-driven concepts" that aim to entice the local community. As of now, the newly developed food hall has welcomed Flip ’n Patties and Mona Fresh Italian Food -- both of which offer a gourmet twist to its respective American and Italian cuisines.
What's more is that according to Matt Damborsky, the executive vice president for Skanska USA Commercial Development, the company is, "exploring additional retail opportunities for this vibrant community hub in the coming months.”
