**Houston (Harris County**) – It has been nearly two years since Austin-based [Whole Foods Market](http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/) made known its intent to build a 365 grocery in the Garden Oaks/Independence Heights neighborhoods, but vertical construction is about to take off.

As was noticed by [Swamplot](http://swamplot.com/whole-foodss-365-garden-oaks-spot-now-emptied-of-neff-rental-rentals/2017-03-08/) readers several weeks back, site preparation began in March at the northeast corner of Yale Street and the North Loop 610 frontage road. The initial site work entailed removal of a garage/office building that was used by **Neff Rental**, a heavy construction equipment supplier.

Contractors may only bid at the invitation of the developer, [Fidelis](https://www.frpltd.com/). However, Virtual Builders Exchange has learned that bids on this project, [**Yale Marketplace**](https://www.frpltd.com/properties/yale-marketplace), are due tomorrow, May 4.

According to the construction documents, Fidelis directly controls a corner lot of just over 4 acres through a limited liability company, **Yale 610 Associates LLC**. Fidelis closed on the land transaction in January, according to the county appraisal district.

The Fidelis site will have two leased spaces—a 30,00-square-foot building for 365 by Whole Foods and an adjoining 12,000-square-foot facility for an emergency room clinic. The grocery project name is **Garden Oaks 365**.

In an effort to attract a larger customer base, Whole Foods rolled out the 365 by Whole Foods concept a few years back. The 365 is a smaller pantry-style store with fewer consumer choices and more competitive pricing. The first 365 stores opened outside of Texas and this will be the first location in Harris County.
