Urbannizer Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/03/06/river-oaks-condo-project-to-break-ground-in-spring.html Developers of The Revere, a luxury condominium project designed with River Oaks empty nesters in mind, plan to break ground this spring on the nine-story mid-rise said to look reminiscent of a sophisticated Park Avenue walk-up. 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...

db650 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Not yet. Sales center in process of moving around corner to break ground. Website has shifted from breaking ground this summer to breaking ground soon. Unclear if that means it’s imminent or don’t even want to commit to summer. I also think they’re trying to finalize permits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db650 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Per Facebook: "We are pleased to announce The Revere at River Oaks has broken ground! Construction starts Monday" https://www.facebook.com/TheRevereatRiverOaks/ I wonder how long this one will take as it's only 9 stories.

Highrise Tower Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 This makes up for the recently canceled Bammel Lane project. Although, Villa Borghese was much taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe tomorrow They’ve been clearing the site the last two weeks and digging for foundation. The sales center moved around corner and they cleared that land too and use it for crew parking. Given that the building takes up most of the land, how will they fit a crane? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
