Revere Park At River Oaks: Condominiums At 2406 Mimosa Dr.
db650 replied to nativehoustonion's topic in Going Up!
Unbelievable--the planning commission denied the variance request for a smaller setback. If you watch the film, it looked like there was one strong commissioner against it who lived in the neighborhood, then the others looked at each other and gradually put up their hands following each other to deny the variance request. The current residents argued the building is out of character with the neighborhood which is crazy. The 30+ Huntington is around the corner. The six story Chateau 10 is around the other corner, not to mention to 17 story San Felipe Place office tower. The applicant stated the project will continue but probably with less parking. I wish they could build even higher. -

Variance request deferred for two weeks. Three neighbors spoke out against the variance request, citing a variety of issues including being out of character with other new developments in the area (e.g., Winfield Gate which is only 4 stories). The funniest moment came when a neighbor cited the applicant's petition that indicated one odd benefit of the variance request: it would better connect pedestrians to the development, allowing them to look into the building. The neighbor speculated what this might mean in terms of bathrooms. -

http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2015/10/12/new-condominium-project-to-rise-in-river-oaks.html This article suggests it's 8 stories. The rendering shows six plus one level of parking. I think there might be a level of parking underground as well. -

Planning Commission meets on October 1st to consider variance request for reduced building line. Proposed land use is for condos. Any other details? -
They're also different markets. My sense is Arabella gets foreign buyers attracted to a more prestigious location. Marlowe is clearly going after a younger, more local and less affluent demographic.

Website hanoversouthampton.com is also fully functional, including pricing. It looks like units are about 2.60ish a square foot.

Any speculation on whether this might be rentals or condos? According to HCAD, the land the Georgian Apartments sit on is almost 150,000 square feet. This seems like a lot of land for a high-rise. Perhaps these will be town homes?

Chateau Ten: River Oaks At 2221 Welch St.
db650 replied to Simbha's topic in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet
Yes, I agree. But I do like the general trend of low maint properties in the inner loop, such as Winfield Gate which also has low maint fees and takes care of external maint. Hopefully, this is a trend as households increasingly have two professionals with less time for home upkeep.- 42 replies

Chateau Ten: River Oaks At 2221 Welch St.
db650 replied to Simbha's topic in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet
I think the idea of low maint living in this location is great. However, I don't get the pricing at high 700k to 1M+. This is about twice the price of a comparable townhome. I get that these are one stories, but you also have neighbors above and below you, less land etc. The building offers no other ammenties. What am I missing here? While a highrise has higher HOAs, the units are cheaper with more services.- 42 replies
