This is a building that might have a hard time competing with other new construction. The location is less urban than the Arabella and the Willshire. It also only has 9 foot ceilings and the floor plans are much less compelling. I don't know the recent sales data but I think it was just short of 20% in mid August.

The NY-based developer, Ariel Capital, plans to build a stronger presence in Houston.

The former Wall Street star turned New York developer remains all in on Houston as the next growth land — to the point where he purchased one of The River Oaks’ accompanying townhomes for himself.

The man behind The River Oaks envisions himself doing more high-rises in Houston. Leibovitch smiles when talk turns to Houston’s “Pothole Mayor” Sylvester Turner. Improved infrastructure is very good for high-rise developers. So is a city still finding its sky legs.

 

“You couldn’t buy a parking garage in New York for what some of these buildings are going for,” Leibovitch says. “I remain a big believer in Houston and its appetite for these type of special buildings. There is only one River Oaks.

 

“People want to be where the action is. As Houston grows, commuting is going to become less and less of a desirable option.”

On Monday...The River Oaks project team moved in a 275 Ton Capacity Lattice Boom Crawler Crane. The crane will be used by GT Leach's subcontractor Postel Steel Erection.
