UtterlyUrban Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Those units are large! 1500 sq ft minimum? Wow! I'll bet that the developer is going to charge stratoshere prices here. This project is only a few blocks from 2727 Kirby. That building is in the $600-$700+/sqft range I think. I wonder where this building will price?

Houston19514 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Those units are large! 1500 sq ft minimum? Wow! I'll bet that the developer is going to charge stratoshere prices here. This project is only a few blocks from 2727 Kirby. That building is in the $600-$700+/sqft range I think. I wonder where this building will price? Beautiful plan. I love what they are doing here. The pricing will be interesting. I would imagine the $600-700/sq ft range is probably very close. FWIW, since 1/1/2014, 12 units in 2727 Kirby have sold. They have ranged in price from $512.48/sq ft to $736.03/ sq ft. The median sale price was about $645/sq ft. Interestingly, the mean (average) sale price was almost exactly the same as the median ($644.56/sq ft.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I am looking at the renderings. For those of you with a better eye than me, does it seem like some of the units (in the middle of the building) will not have balconies? It looks that way to me but, I could also be totally wrong.

Avossos Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 shouldnt this topic be in the Upper Kirby / Greenway Plaza section..... (we don't have one, but we should)... because this is NOT a new build. This is similar to the JW Marriott and the Holiday Inn redo. Thanks for moving it in advance.

jmitch94 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Wow looks amazing, I cant wait for this to really get underway. $10 million for a penthouse is pretty ambitious in Houston let alone two of them. Maybe they can drop the price and I can swoop in and get it for a 99.99% discount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Ten mil would be pocket change considering what some of the penthouses in Manhattan are going for. I'm still trying to figure out who is buying them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Purify Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Ten mil would be pocket change considering what some of the penthouses in Manhattan are going for. I'm still trying to figure out who is buying them. Foreign investors who will never move in. Most of the units in those new/proposed midtown Manhattan condos will sit vacant.

Didn't Mosiac's recently go on the market for like +/- $30mil? 2727 kirby's was what 14 million? And that one on top of the building by bayou bends was like one of the most expensive, and if I remember correctly the Huntingdon was like 20ish last time it was up?

jmitch94 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I thought the 11,000 square foot one in 2727 Kirby was about 8-9,000,000 when it was for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
