This is SkyHouse #16 of 30 to be built around the country and another one by the River Oaks SkyHouse in the future. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLan34 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) The green fencing in the bottom right is a nice touch. The Downtown district has put them all along main street to cover the view of the empty parking lots. They will soon be covered with vine plants as well.

astros148 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 So skyhouse actually does not own this building. Spoke with the leasing agent at the original skyhouse and it looks like some sort of licensing deal they made with a management company. They were not confident enough in the downtown market for them to go ahead with actually purchasing it themselves....doesnt really make any sense because from what I had understood they secured funding beforehand?

It seems that Older buildings and buildings that have only a few units in them have high monthly fees, I think. Buildings that are both old and have few units might get a double whammy. At $0.72 psf, this one is a little high but they can go easily to a buck or more. I wonder if this little place has amenities like valet, porters, and Conceirge? That stuff is expensive over only a few units! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the Capitol Lofts (constructed in 1908, converted to lofts in early 2000's) and the monthly maintenance is ~$0.55 / sq ft. It covers very basic building upkeep and maintenance including an onsite porter Monday through Friday for 8 hours a day. It does not cover utilities. Amenities are basic - the rooftop deck and gym are bare bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote HOUSTON, TX - SkyHouse Main, downtown Houston's newest apartment tower, will host its grand opening celebration on October 20, 2016. With the first residents moved in, SkyHouse Main joins SkyHouse Houston in remaking two full blocks of the Central Business District into a live-work-play neighborhood. Opened in the summer of 2014, SkyHouse Houston is leased up and the new tower, a mirror-image of the first, has experienced strong early demand. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 If this information regarding the Skyhouses is accurate it should spur further residential downtown construction. Not being a business man I cannot claim detailed understanding. Nevertheless it makes no sense for developers who received financial incentives to build downtown residentials especially in choice locations or near the rail line, or both, to let this opportunity slip away. Camden, block 98, Fairfield seem like win proposals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Camden has applied for incentives, got them, and has done nothing but sit while other developers have continued to move forward/build. I have not read anything about an "oversupply" of residential units in downtown or midtown and, likely, these developers haven't either. Can someone point me to an analysis showing that we are in a resi rental oversupply situation in downtown and midtown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it would not surprise me if there is a glut right now on the market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
