Fortune Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 New townhouse community being built at the intersection of San Felipe and Revere. Will be 10 four story townhouses ranging in size from 5,000 square feet to 7,800 square feet and start at $2.2 million. Going up right across from the Winfield Gate townhouse development which started construction some time last year. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Project-aims-at-ultra-rich-wanting-to-live-smaller-4676395.php 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sellanious Caesar Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I saw someone on CD mention this missing from the new development map and made me wonder if this has been stalled.

lockmat Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I thought it broke ground months ago? It might even be complete by now. Or maybe I'm thinking of another development since their website isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 2014-07-05 11.45.53 by marclongoria, on Flickr I am swept away by the Parisian street scape. The most romantic block in Houston. I eagerly await the headlines around the world, "Houston teleports a block from Palais Royal".Sorry I got carried away. It's not too terrible but in true Houston fashion this project is watered down from rendering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I believe some "quotations" should go on the word's "complete" urbannizer I drive past this almost every morning, and they seem to have stalled with this one. The back townhomes have been without any plaster for what seems like forever! I just saw them like a few days ago covering the area up with a plastic sheet over the scaffolding getting the area prep'ed for plaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citykid09 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Just came on here to ask whatever happened to the development in the rendering, but then scrolled down and realized that the development that I liked so much was that development in the rendering. It turned out great but, it doesn't look like the rendering said it would. Did that house on the corner not sell and that had to change plans? I wonder if they will eventually sell?

Luminare Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Like I have said before, I'm not someone who is in favor of replicating this type of architecture.....but this is pretty nice. I don't really care for the pinched roofs on top. That seems like an after thought! This isn't pushing any boundaries in terms of its architecture nor is it set in our contemporary times, but this is this style of architecture done right. Not bad.

toxtethogrady Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I didn't say the French look was necessarily the best (I'd go for the Dutch look, but that requires a canal. ) But there are options. Houston seems to favor the rowhouse, especially if it has industrial elements. Color would also be nice. For some reason everyone thinks that would bring down property values.

I seriously liked Saint Honore better than most low/mid rise projects around the city that come to mind, with the exception of the midrise on buffalo bayou at beltway 8. At least Saint Honore looked different from the average town home development.. It had style. This new design looks average.

Eh, I may have over reacted a bit in my initial response, but i had always thought SH was one of the best looking town home developments in the city and am bummed to see it replaced by another run of the mill town home development that looks like every other average development going up across the city.

por favor gracias Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 In an alternate timeline, it's not to far-fetched to image us as a city full of canals if maybe the city started 100 years earlier I've thought about that, too. I like how we're fixing the areas around Buffalo Bayou, but I would really love to see the Bayou City invest more into all of our main bayous to make them more appealing.
