Popular Post Paco Jones Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 The project will consist of a 34-story residential condominium high-rise development. It will be a podium design in which a parking garage makes up the base of the building and the residential tower sits on top. Level 5 will be the amenity level of the tower and will include a club room, fitness center, dining room with catering, kitchen and bars. The East, North and South sides of this level will open onto a landscaped plaza deck that will have a swimming pool, covered lounge, children’s play area, grilling areas and a dog park. The 34-story residential tower will be approximately 442’ in height and include 107 units. Exterior cladding design shall provide the use of architectural precast concrete panels and glazed window wall on the tower. Levels 1 through 5 of the podium on the west elevation (main entry) will be clad with mechanically fastened limestone panels with granite wainscot. The remainder of the podium will be clad with architectural precast concrete panels similar to the tower. The Project site is approximately 1.86 acres off of North Wynden Drive to the west of Montebello Condos, Uptown Park and the 610 Loop in the Galleria-Memorial area. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrohip Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Have they announced any pricing info for the condo units? Thanks for posting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I was confused on the orientation but the entrance will be on N Wynden. Hopefully the podium won't be too noticeable in the pool area of the Hotel. Not a bad looking addition. Very happy it's not Tuscan red stucco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREguy13 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Figured this was worth bumping as Transwestern just acquired the property from Borlenghi. Based on current trends in Houston, TW's development capabilities, access to capital, etc. I think building the branded Residences tower is a key part of the vision for this acquistion. Robert Duncan's quote in the press release is a pretty good indicator: "Our good friend, Giorgio Borlenghi, as Master Developer of Uptown, designed and built this iconic hotel some 17 years ago with his signature quality standards and remarkable eye for detail," said Transwestern Chairman Robert Duncan. "We are privileged to have this opportunity to further elevate the Granduca hospitality experience for our guests. And we are delighted that Giorgio remains a stakeholder who will consult with us to unleash the full potential of this extraordinary property." https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/transwestern-acquires-houstons-renowned-hotel-granduca-302033030.html 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
