bobruss Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I appreciate you sharing your living conditions. I imagine after living in a large ground floor home it took some time to get used to all of the changes. I also feel for what you are experiencing with a loved one who you are taking care of. Our mother in law lived with us until her recent death and I know my wife was especially happy that she was able to keep her at home and we watched over her. She was 93 and lived a very full life, and you are doing a great thing in being close for her. I wish for you and your family the most pleasant and comforting times. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CREguy13 Posted November 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2019 I was eating turkey when I saw the Bat Signal: Houston luxury condominium developer Pelican Builders plans to break ground next quarter on a 17-story skyscraper near Houston's Uptown-Galleria area. Called the Hawthorne, the $100 million condo tower aims to lure empty-nesters from the tree-lined upscale Tanglewood neighborhood with "pet-potty" porches and designer finishes. The Hawthorne is the first high-rise luxury condo project to be built in 40 years in the middle of Houston's upscale single-family neighborhoods like Tanglewood, Briargrove and the Memorial Villages, according to Derek Darnell, principal at Pelican Builders. The average price for a home listed for sale in Tanglewood is $2.7 million, according to the Houston Association of Realtors. In the first month after opening a glitzy sales gallery for the Hawthorne at 5656 San Felipe St. in September, Pelican Builders sold about 13% of the 67 units, Darnell said. He expects to sell about 15% of the units by the end of the year. Pelican Builders secured a $7.3 million loan earlier this year from an undisclosed national real estate finance company to buy the 1.26-acre development site for the Hawthorne, according to a statement at the time from Mission Capital Advisors, which arranged the loan. Pelican Builders, which says it is responsible for developing almost half of all high-rise condo projects in Houston, is aiming to cater to wealthy empty-nesters with its latest project. The Hawthorne features floor plans between 1,700 square feet and 4,000 square feet and prices range from $1.1 million to $3.5 million per unit, according to Pelican Builders. That compares to Houston’s median price for condominiums-townhouses sold in October of $164,500, which includes new homes and resales across the entire metropolitan area, according to data from the Houston Association of Realtors. To attract high-end buyers, Hawthorne units are expected to have large terraces with "pet-potty" porches and resident amenities such as a 67-foot lap pool, fitness center, lounge with a bar and fireplace and 24/7 concierge and valet. Kirksey Architecture designed the Hawthorne, the Houston-based architecture firm's third project with Pelican Builders. Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio is designing the public indoor-outdoor spaces for the Hawthorne. The luxury condo market in Houston is still a relatively niche market. Last year, only 32 condos built after 2010 priced above $1 million sold in Houston, according to data from the Houston Association of Realtors analyzed by the Houston Properties Team at Keller Williams. Another 30 condos priced above $1 million built before 2009 sold last year, according to the data. If condos priced above $1 million sold at that current pace in Houston, it would take about 26 months to work through the current inventory of homes, including newly built and resale condos. "Right now, Houston's $1 million condo market is one of the biggest buyer's market with over 26 months of inventory," which doesn't include all of the inventory that builders haven't listed on the open market yet, Paige Martin, a broker associate with Keller Williams, said in an email. "In my opinion, there are some great new construction condos. However, we have definitely seen an overbuilding of the luxury condo market in Houston." But Darnell with Pelican Builders has a calculated optimism about the condo market in Houston, and he points out that location is vitally important. So far, Pelican Builders has had a penchant for picking areas with hotter demand. The company sold out of condos at The Wilshire, a 96-unit luxury high rise at 2047 Westcreek Lane that was financed by the Carlyle Group in the Galleria area. And, Pelican Builders' Revere at River Oaks, a nine-story condo project located at 2325 Welch St., is about 85% sold with move-ins on track for the second quarter of 2020, according to the company. IBC Bank provided the construction loan for the Revere. Darnell said he is seeing demand for new condos pick up in Houston, but he doesn’t expect it to reach the same fever pitch that the apartment market is seeing now. "It will never be as big as the apartment market, and that’s just true in any city. Houston and all Texas cities are continuing to grow" by population and jobs, so the "condo market will continue to grow, but I don’t expect it to just take off. I think it will always be very calculated and measured," Darnell said. Also near the Uptown-Galleria area, other new high-rise condo projects include the Arabella and Astoria from Houston developer DC Partners. Elsewhere in Houston, DC Partners recently broke ground on the first phase of a $500 million mixed-use project by Buffalo Bayou, west of downtown, called the Allen, which is expected to include a 34-story condo-hotel high rise. Construction on the Hawthorne is expected to take two years. For the Record Ludlow & Associates Construction is expected to break ground on the Hawthorne in the first quarter of 2020. Darnell said Pelican Builders is evaluating multiple options for a construction loan. Mission Capital is helping to secure the construction loan and arranged the loan for the land from an undisclosed lender. Jason Parker, Steven Buchwald and Alex Draganiuk with Mission Capital arranged the loan for the land. Douglas Elliman Real Estate, a New York City-based residential brokerage that recently entered the Houston market by acquiring Houston-based Sudhoff Cos., is handling sales and marketing for the Hawthorne. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted August 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Pelican Builders lines up financing for Galleria-area condo tower Katherine Feser, Staff writer Pelican Builders is preparing to break ground on the Hawthorne, a 17-story condominium tower in the Galleria area after securing construction financing. Acres Capital Corp. provided an $89 million construction loan to Pelican and its partner Ranman USA. The loan, originated by Drew Miller in the New York office, has an initial term of 36 months. The Hawthorne, located in the Tanglewood area near the Memorial Villages, will have 67 units ranging from 1,705 to more than 4,000 square feet. Amenities include a 67-foot lap pool surrounded by cabanas on the fifth floor, fitness center, resident lounge, dog park and washing station, guest suites available for rental, storage units, terrace spaces and 24-hour concierge service. The property has 164,546 net-sellable square feet with an additional 19,712 square feet of outdoor space, according to the lender. Kirksey Architecture designed the building and Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio is handling interiors. Construction, originally set for March 2020, is anticipated to begin in late August or early September. The Hawthorne will be Pelican's second condo project to break ground this year following the start of the Westmore, a 33-unit mid-rise in the Upper Kirby District, in January. Pelican has developed a dozen condo mid-rises and high-rises in Houston, starting with the Woodway in 1974. Steven Buchwald at Mission Capital Debt and Equity arranged the loan. "This was a challenging construction loan to arrange given that it fell amid the COVID-19 pandemic," Buchwald said. "Ultimately, it came down to having a great project and premier sponsorship." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Pelican-Builders-lines-up-financing-for-newest-16369524.php#photo-18333752 Edited August 9, 2021 by hindesky 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
