UtterlyUrban Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The thing that always make me think about buildings this size (4-7stories above parking) is the type of construction. If it is concrete slabs on each floor, then it is fairly quite. Frame? Noisy. Anyone know if this one (7 stories above parking) will be frame or concrete? I assume concrete. What is the COH fire code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db650 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I believe you can only go up to six stories with wood. And given the prices, I'd be really surprised if this weren't concrete. This is far more expensive than Randal Davis's Chateau Ten just around the corner and the Huntingdon is going for about $400 a square foot. I"d like to see them pull this off at these prices. I wonder if they don't want to undercut on price their Mimosa Place development around the corner. Even with the finest finishes, this building is crazy expensive for a a mid-rise building with modest views at best and modest amenities (even without the oil crash). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db650 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 HAR listings with floor plans. Note the crazy expensive price, and that many of the "cheaper" units under 2 million have only a handful of windows (at least from my read of the floor plans). Given the unusual shape and small size of the lot, the units are also very narrow. It's hard to imagine these will sell, especially given the glut of super expensive townhouse around the corner that aren't selling either and are actually cheaper. http://www.har.com/search/dosearch?region_id=1&for_sale=1&property_class_id=6&buildingname=The Revere At River Oaks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db650 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It looks like Pelican Builders moved the sales center trailer that was at Mimosa Place to the Revere. Sales at the Revere are about 10 percent after one year of marketing, but I guess they are still trying to push this forward with the clearing of the land and movement of the sales center. And what will happen to Mimosa Place -- the 18 story Pelican town home community down the road? Will this be a joint sales center now for the Revere and Mimosa Place? I believe that Mimosa Place is also not selling very well. They fenced in the (I believe 6) completed town homes away from the remaining vacant land, so I'm not sure if they are still planning to finish that development. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most lenders require condo developers to sell at least half of its units before extending a construction loan. Derek Darnell, president of Pelican Builders, said he anticipates sales to cross the 50-percent threshold by Thanksgiving, at a sales pace of one unit per week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db650 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 So they plan on selling one per week -- after selling 4 in the past year?

The 32-unit condo is close to being 40 percent presold. On a recent stop at the condo sales center on Welch Street near Revere, Robert Bland Sr., founder and principal of Houston-based Pelican Builders Inc., shared details of his 10th high-rise project in Houston. The location and audience determined a lot of the scope of the project, he said. The high-end units will feature 11-foot high ceilings with plenty of space for art enthusiasts to display their collections. Large windows will give residents views of River Oaks and Montrose. The luxury units will feature hardwood floors, custom wood cabinets, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and fireplaces. Units vary in size from 2,800 to 3,800 square feet while prices span from $1.6 million to $2.6 million. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 https://www.virtualbx.com/construction-preview/houston-the-9-story-luxury-revere-in-river-oaks-gets-its-canopy/ Houston (Harris County) – Pelican Builders obtained a zero-foot building line for a fancy metal canopy that will serve as shelter to the main entrance for The Revere at River Oaks, a nine-story condominium tower planned to reach the construction phase this summer. BGE Inc., acting as representative for the developer, secured the variance last week from the planning commission. The tower will be at the southeast corner of Welch Street and Revere Street on a lot where an older two-story structure was recently removed. Pelican Builders Inc. plans a 30-unit condominium community and the canopy will extend 15 feet-4 inches from the building to the curb at a height of 11 feet-4 inches. The condo tower will have a maximum height of 120 feet, with a top finish floor at 96 feet up. The staff report to the commission noted the building height is in character with the overall area, “as there are multiple town home, mid-rise and high-rise developments. The town homes in the area range anywhere from 30 to 60 feet in height, while the commercial buildings are 75 feet and above.” Staff also noted that Pelican Builders is proposing to construct new street curbs along Welch Street: “The new paving width within Welch Street will vary from 28 feet wide to 31.74 feet wide. The site currently does not have sidewalks. The developer is proposing to install new 5-foot wide sidewalks along Welch Street and Revere Street.” The tower is to include parking for 57 vehicles. This area of River Oaks, which is toward the east end near the Hyde Park and Montrose districts, has experienced extensive upscale residential development. In late 2015, VBX reported plans for the construction of Revere Park, a mid-rise that is one block south of The Revere project. More recently Rohe & Wright Builders began construction on Cardogan Place, a 12-unit town home development that is directly across Welch Street from the future site of The Revere. The Cardogan residences are priced between $1.3 million and $1.8 million each. Condominiums at The Revere will be priced even higher, from $1.6 million to $2.6 million. Floorplans will range from 1,800 to 3,800 square feet and the units will feature 11-foot ceilings and large windows. Construction at The Revere is estimated to begin by July 1 and reach completion by Nov. 1, 2019, according to the architect’s report to the state’s architectural barrier database. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
