hbcu Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 at the corner of Cypresswood and Champions Forest there was a sign for several years that stated a luxury high rise would be built....I never recall seeing a backhoe ready to dig though...will it ever be built or it was wishful thinking?

psilverot Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I've noticed the sign also. The project looks interesting. It would definitely fit with the area, but I don't know if they will ever build the highrise.

mrfootball Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Drove by it this morning, the sign is still up on the corner - along with a new sign for the 'Conservatory' which is being built there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Is this the Raveneaux project you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilverot Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I think it's the same project. I believe the sign reads "Chateaux Raveneaux."Is this the Raveneaux project you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfresident Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 A Don Hand pipe dream. No way it will happen. Raveneaux, on the other hand, will begin redevelopment soon. They are starting with Woodland's waterway style townhomes that will line a portion of Cypresswood and will move towards a new clubhouse, etc... The club was purchased by an investment company and has terminated past management. The plan looks very nice... a 'Barton Creek' (i hope that's correct, that's what i hear) style area with a day spa, hotel, etc... I'm hoping that is the case. Of course the plan will deviate based on the success of the stages. Don Hand is fighting the Raveneaux development all the way. It will devestate his plans for Chateaux Raveneaux. On the other hand, I don't understand him. If you want to build a very high end, luxury high rise, why would you build cheap apartments on Cypresswood behind Lowes? That apartment complex will bring down the value of Prestonwood and in the long term affect the whole area. Pretty soon it will be like attempting to build a high end, luxury high rise in Greenspoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineda Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 story from Houston Chronicle "The majority of those who turned out to the Cypress Forest Public Utility District meeting to hear details of the "Kera Village" development plan a mixture of brownstone-style townhomes and mid-rise condominiums on 45 of Raveneaux's 288 acres, were seeking answers to rumors that have been circulating throughout the community since word got out that the original owner, Tony Kindred, had joined forces with Jordan's Dallas-based JP Partners over a year ago."

Those apartments behind Lowes are extremely nice and expensive. I would know, because I live there. What gave you the impression they were cheap?
