Luminare Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like a fire in the building... http://www.houstongovnewsroom.org/go/doc/2155/2556718/ I saw several fire trucks roll on by on my way to work (greenway plaza) I think its safe to assume it was for this fire.

rechlin Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 There were a whole bunch of fire trucks completely blocking Westheimer, Larchmont, and part of the church parking lot. A couple ladder trucks were providing access to the building (click for a bigger view): 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db650 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Any idea about sales of this building? If I am remembering correctly, this building will be ready half a year before Arabella and the Wilshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbarz Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 How has the building been selling? Is it worth nearly double the price to be in a "new" remodeled building instead of the 3 older ones right down the street? WIllowick, Inwood and I forget the name of the other, but they all have "remodeled" lobbies. There are just four generalized listings on HAR ranging from $1.4M to $4.4M. Does anyone know how many have been "sold" so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db650 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The NY-based developer, Ariel Capital, plans to build a stronger presence in Houston. http://www.papercitymag.com/interiors/more-walkable-houston-through-high-rise-building-boom-transform-city-dodge-oil-crisis/ 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.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I can't afford 3 square feet in this place but I applaud the developer for rehabbing this building vs blowing it up into a pile of rubble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arel Capital and its Houston-based marketing and sales partner Sudhoff Co. have sold at least one condo unit per month since sales began in summer 2015, Leibovitch said. Buyers have run the gamut, from lawyers to doctors to energy executives to entrepreneurs — both local and foreign, younger and older.
