Urbannizer Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Crescent Communities second multifamily project for Houston. Crescent plans to start 10 new developments this year and 10 more next year for a total of 7,000 units and $1.4B of construction. That includes Crescent Northgate (rendered here), a 300-unit community underway near the Hardy Toll Road and Grand Parkway intersection close to Exxon’s campus. It’ll deliver in late 2016. Crescent also owns a site in the River Oaks District (at Westheimer and Willowick) that it’s holding for future development. Brian tells us about half of the upcoming projects are in Southwestern markets like Phoenix, Denver, Houston and Dallas that weren’t in vogue compared to primary markets when the firm started lining up sites five years ago.

lockmat Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Are they referring to the area as River Oaks District becuause ROD is not on Willowick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I wonder if this refers to the Georgian Apartments. Those look ripe for redevelopment. Are they referring to the area as River Oaks District becuause ROD is not on Willowick. The "River Oaks" moniker continues its spread, similar to how everything north of I-10 and west of I-45 inside the Loop has become the "Heights." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah, they must be referring to the area because they said their location is IN the ROD, not AT the ROD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apartments are (or was) for sale. http://swamplot.com/on-then-off-sale-of-the-georgian-apartments-near-highland-village-is-on-again-maybe/2015-01-26/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db650 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Any speculation on whether this might be rentals or condos? According to HCAD, the land the Georgian Apartments sit on is almost 150,000 square feet. This seems like a lot of land for a high-rise. Perhaps these will be town homes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDierker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Perhaps these will be town homes? Maybe townhomes would be "under-building the site." It's the "River Oaks District" after all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/04/24/new-river-oaks-area-mixed-use-development-planned.html Quote A new retail and multifamily residential mixed-use project is coming to the River Oaks area. The project at 2511 Willowick Roadwill be off Westheimer and Willowick, east of Highland Village, where the independent senior living apartment community The Georgian currently is located. North Carolina-based developer Crescent Communities stated through a spokesperson the company bought the property in 2015, but Harris County appraisal recordsshow the land was purchased in May 2014. In 2018, the property was appraised at $11.04 million. Officials with Crescent Communities said they bought directly from the original developer of The Georgian, but declined to provide a name. Harris County records show Houston-based developers Swain & Houck listed as a prior owner. Charles Swain and Harvey Houck originally developed the Westcreek Apartments on Westheimer where the River Oaks District stands. When complete, this new project slated for The Georgian will be less than a mile from the River Oaks District and a few blocks from Highland Village. In an emailed statement, Crescent wrote it bought the property “with the intention of redeveloping the site in the future, when the time was right.” “We’ve now started the process to create a mixed use community that will be supportive of the surrounding neighborhood with the addition of walkable, lifestyle retail and restaurants, as well as new multifamily homes,” the statement read. Current residents received a notice that they must move out by Oct. 15, 2018, Swamplot reported. The letter stated that residents can get out of leases early and could get some financial assistance to move. “We recently shared this news with residents of The Georgian to give them significant notice and support in advance of the changes, but we are still early in the process and aren’t yet ready to share more details about the future development,” Crescent’s statement read. Currently, South Carolina-based firm Greystar manages the property. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those apts represent that "Georgian" look that really has no application here in the South/Southwest area. This was a throwback to that same look in the NE and New England during pre-revolutionary times when colonists were making America in "their" own image from England. So far removed from what Texas and Houston evolved from. Out with the old and "off with their heads" I say LOL ! It has a mansard roof, so there seems to be some French influence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguysly Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Kind of odd to see seniors getting kicked out like in the movies. This is an interesting location. Across from a school and next to neighborhoods. It is close to the Central Market and those shopping areas over there but still feels like a addition that is off the main path. I drive by here daily for work so my little shortcut with less traffic will be lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGeneral Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The rendering looks nice, but the inner loop needs these older more affordable apartment buildings IMO.

MikeRichardson Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Here's some pictures I took on the 6th. https://mikerichardson.name/tidbits/the_georgian/ Wasn't going to walk too deep into the property since anything was liable to fall down at any time. I wonder how much those townhomes rented for. I've not seen those at the other Swain & Houck properties. BTW, this was the last Swain & Houck property that had remained. The first to go was off of Allen Parkway if I recall. I was one of the last people to move from the last building on Westcreek - the one that they let sit and rot for 2+ years before tearing it down, instead of renting it out and collecting money. Because logic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRichardson Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 There is a neat little apartment complex right next to The Georgian that I never even knew existed - it's got maybe 10 units in two buildings, with covered parking spaces. That will probably survive quite a bit longer because the land is not a large enough parcel to interest the developers. Unfortunately, The Georgian is yet another example of medium-low density being replaced with medium-high density. A marginal improvement in density - but it's also understandable that they would not try for a highrise there given that it abuts directly to single family homes. (whatever happened with Ashby anyway) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
