astrohip Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I love the birds-eye view, as they swoop up and away... you can see Westheimer in front of it. A beautiful road, smooth pavement, traffic free, meticulously landscaped. Yeah, right. I live 100 yards down the street from The Paramount, and that stretch of Westheimer is the pits. Literally. Pockmarked, potholes, patches over patches, sidewalk broken up. I'm surprised the good folks of RO haven't used their clout to have it repaved. $50 bucks says Mr. Davis shows up in a tight white tee tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I have always avoided riding my bike especially along this part of westheimer... those sidewalks are a freaking mess! I wish they would do what was done in the river oaks area near kirby where there are all new sidewalks and street lights etc. and yeah as far as driving goes...those right lane potholes...ouch! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Highrise Tower Posted August 18, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2020 New River Oaks high-rise The Paramount announces groundbreaking plans https://communityimpact.com/houston/heights-river-oaks-montrose/development/2020/08/17/new-river-oaks-high-rise-the-paramount-announces-groundbreaking-plans/ Quote The Paramount, a new high-rise coming to the River Oaks area, will break ground in late 2020 or early 2021, Randall Davis Co. announced in an Aug. 17 press release. Construction on the 25-story tower is slated for completion in late 2021, according to the announcement. Hedley Karpas and Karen Gillespie of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty will oversee sales for all 50 residences in the project, which start at $1.055 million and range from 1,800-6,500 square feet. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 calling that block "River Oaks" is a bit of a stretch... That's like saying Neil's Bahr is in Midtown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LBC2HTX Posted August 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2020 It’s literally across the street from RO. There’s far more egregious uses of RO than this project. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrohip Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I thought anything inside the loop could be called "River Oaks" 🙃. Heck, there's a project down at Shepherd & 59 called "River Oaks". This isn't even an announcement of a groundbreaking. It's an announcement of an announcement-to-be-announced of a groundbreaking. And they think they can build this in less than a year?!? They have to have meant completion in late 2022, not 2021. It's interesting that they're using Martha Turner to sell the units. Every, and I mean every, high-end condo building uses Douglas Elliman (FKA Sudhoff) to handle their sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrohip Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The Chronicle also has the press release in today's paper. I still think there is a mistake. You don't build a 25/26 story building in less than a year. But as someone who lives just a couple blocks up Westheimer from this, I hope they can. Because you know they're gonna create some traffic issues during construction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston loves to allow developers the right to block as many lanes of traffic and sidewalks for as long as they please.

Paco Jones Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Per a VP at GT Leach... "Still early on 3723… The Paramount. It’s currently still in the marketing phase. It currently has zero (0) sales, so it might be a while." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s currently still in the marketing phase. It currently has zero (0) sales, so it might be a while." I read 3 sales backed out among COVID uncertainty. I agree this one will be a long wait. And I’m sure there will be the inevitable design changes RD always seems to make. I actually like the look of this building, but then again I also liked the original Arabella plan until it got its “makeover.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it doesn't help that this is being built on (and thus, designed for) a postage stamp sized piece of land. So instead of a more spread out base, you get this tall, skinny bottom that looks just like a... mausoleum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 *rolls eyes* Yes, because Randall Davis towers are so much better when there's room for a larger base. The lot is not the problem. The developer is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablog Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 If done with the right materials, I think it’ll look good. It’s daunting, imposing, and it feels strong. Definitely something that feels reserved for only the few. Which is the target that they’re going for. If given the cheap RD treatment, it will look horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how cheap it'll look, as long as they keep the same amount of windows, I promise not to complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His buildings appear to depreciate very fast. He does offer a lot of amenities and a bold taste, if that’s your thing. But if you look at recent sales data at Arabella and Astoria, pricing is way down from original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That piece of land on San Felipe, I believe, just hit the market for sale. This might bring another neighborhood battle that maybe he thinks he could win because it's next to the San Felipe tower Hines built.
