toxtethogrady Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 if they are seriously expecting to rent these at the prices they are asking for right now then jesus good luck! went to ask about a 1br and 2600 is way to much. was on a lower floor also, the higher floors are going for 3000k+ minimum for a 1br It's the new normal for Houston. DC apartments are already getting that much in rent for a 1 b.r. Don't expect the oil bust to change that dynamic much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 its only 468' according to the FAA..https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/searchAction.jsp?action=displayOECase&oeCaseID=207985906&row=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 its only 468' according to the FAA..https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/searchAction.jsp?action=displayOECase&oeCaseID=207985906&row=14 Hmmm. I wonder if that was from when they were proposing a 35 story building. 11.7 feet per floor seems a bit unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lospringer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) It's the new normal for Houston. DC apartments are already getting that much in rent for a 1 b.r. Don't expect the oil bust to change that dynamic much. 2600 for a 1 bed seems pretty excessive for Houston. I paid 1600 for an 830 sf loft across the street from Hermann Park which is one of the pricier rental areas and that was still relatively expensive for a one bedroom in Houston. I just moved to Chicago and still pay less than 2600 and I'm just a few blocks from Willis Tower in a brand new building. I'm sure they'll get someone to lease at that price though.

jmitch94 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 It it just me or does it seem like construction has really slowed down on this. Looking at the web cam and it has looked the same for over two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I lived next to some tall buildings that had lots of junky stuff on the balconies.My friend from Houston visited and thought they were tenements like in Chicago.After that, a new landlord took over, renovated and made everyone take the stuff off the balconies.No more flags, house plants, storage boxes, etc.It looked a lot better. Lol God forbid somebody have a house plant on their balcony! Way to enforce soullessness.

Luminare Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 2600 for a 1 bed seems pretty excessive for Houston.

I think thats just the prices you seen in a huge boom market. I'm pretty sure that price will fall when things cool off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The only problem I have with this development is its surroundings. I hope they widen sidewalks and revamp this area much like they've done on Westheimer and Kirby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the web cam and it has looked the same for over two weeks. I think the majority of the work left is interior finishes. I haven't seen the building in a couple months but I would assume the exterior is nearly finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamHouston Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I keep forgetting to take pictures of the inside of the building to share. My sister moved in about 3 weeks ago. No amenities have been completed other than the gym. The inside is quite nice. Nothing spectacular in my opinion but there's still some work being done.

PM Realty's Wade Bowlin said the company hasn't had to offer any concessions to lure tenants amid what's becoming a competitive apartment leasing market. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Nice shots! Starting soon I'll be able to get all kinds of shots of this building. There are some really great views and the amenity deck on top of the garage is really nice. I'll get plenty of photos! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
