Anyone know the pricing on these?

Overpriced with high maintenance fees. Not good in Houston, and im thankful for that!

Huh? what do you mean?

I think pricing and a weak loft market are why the units are slow to sell. That, and lack of amenities in the immediate area. My person opinion is that it is a cool building with terrific windows, but there is pricing overlap with many of the downtown buildings (and lower-priced townhomes). I personally would rather have a slightly smaller place in the heart of downtown for the same money.

With the transient population in the area, I'm not sure I would want a first floor unit with those giant windows. I don't recall, but is the parking even covered?

You can see from this picture http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDis...hr1551095-6.jpg a loft project on Dowling that appears to be on hold. I think Live Oak is just a casualty of an overall soft loft market--Houston hasn't really embraced loft living in a major way yet.

ETA: A quick drive-by shows they have tandem covered above ground parking. And I neglected to mention there really are no views of downtown, a big negative in the area.

Im also interested in one of these places but the monthly maintenance fee seems a bit high. Does anyone know if the fee persqft. is too high compared to other similar locations? Im not too familiar with this area or lofts inner-workings for that matter.
