This one looks like it has topped out. The top "steps up" from south to north. The southern end is 38 stories and the north end is 40. You can see the step up in the rendering.

Really cool view from there. I am surprised the handrails are already rusted on a tower that has been finished for only a few years.

This is a view from the penthouse on 40th floor at 2929 Weslayan, rent is $16,335 a month, for that amount you would think they would have better handrails that aren’t rusted, views are pretty cool though.

i am so loving this building and cannot wait to see it completed!

in semi related news, i wonder if they were waiting on this corner to be done in regards to sidewalk etc before putting the giant flying saucer street sign/light up at this intersection...which they haven't even done that yet at the Westheimer intersection too...maybe they are waiting to do both at the same time?

 

anyway...wow...love Aspire! thanks for all the great photos!

The crown is starting to take shape. They have some concrete walls poured in a fin shape and are installing steel framing above that as well.

Dinerstein Cos.' luxury apartment tower in the Galleria area tops out ahead of schedule

A Houston-based developer has reached a construction milestone on its latest luxury apartment tower.

The Dinerstein Cos. said its Aspire Post Oak project topped out ahead of schedule. The tower was original expected to reach its highest point in January 2021, according to a Nov. 18 press release.

The luxury 383-unit high-rise is at 1650 Post Oak Blvd. and sits on 1.59 acres at the corner of Post Oak and San Felipe Street in Houston's Uptown District. It will have seven floors of residential and commercial parking below 33 residential floors.

The project also contains 15,506 square feet of ground-floor retail space, which is slated to be leased to a "nationally renowned restaurant concept," the press release stated.

Houston-based Ludlow & Associates Construction is the general contractor, and San Francisco-based Gensler is the architect for the project.

“Aspire Post Oak’s location is one of Houston’s most appealing, urban mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly areas in the city, and we recognize the need for the property’s design to reflect the surrounding premier environment," said Brooks Howell, residential leader and principal at Gensler.

Aspire Post Oak is a part of the Dinerstein Cos. Aspire Living Collection. The units have an average size of 1,210 square feet, larger than an average apartment space, to accommodate current market demand. All the units will have a private outdoor space overlooking the Uptown District with views of the Galleria, downtown Houston and Memorial Park. Future tenants will have the option of choosing between one-, two- or three-bedroom units and penthouses. The units will also feature modern kitchens, European-inspired bathrooms and in-unit washers and dryers.

Aspire Post Oak's amenities will include smart unit technology, a resident lounge, massage rooms, private dining rooms, a 24-hour fitness center, an infinity-edged pool with tanning decks and adjacent aqua lounge, indoor and outdoor resident event space, an elevated dog park and a concierge.

Leasing for Aspire Post Oak will begin in the latter part of 2021 with rents starting at $3,000 per month.

“Although we do business all over the country, Houston is our home, and we are beyond excited for Aspire Post Oak to place its mark on the Houston skyline,” said Brian Dinerstein, CEO of Dinerstein Cos. “We look forward to creating a modern, cutting-edge, residential option at one of the most walkable and vibrant locations in the city.”

The project broke ground in spring 2019 and had been the subject of a lawsuit related to neighborhood opposition. However, the lawsuit was dismissed in July 2020 after the parties reached an agreement, according to Harris County District Court records, which did not disclose the terms of the agreement.

It's amazing to see how much denser this area is becoming yet when you look at google maps you can see how much land is left completely undeveloped or very underdeveloped.

OK, not specifically for "Highrise Tower" but, I have to ask.

 

For DECADES, when heading west on West Gray through Waugh, I would always see the two Four Leaf Towers straight ahead in the distance. I haven't been home since late February so I haven't been able to look, but I'm guessing this building blocks one or both of them. Somebody will, of course, go out and take a look for me...right? 😛

[Tumbleweed_Tx]

it does, just a little bit.
But, the important thing is, it blocks half of the Cosmo from South Post Oak so I don't have to look at that thing while headed north on South Post Oak
