editor Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Is this the Turnberry project you meant?--:--Turnberry gets high on Houston with planned condo towerHouston Business Journal - April 7, 2006by Jennifer DawsonHouston Business JournalA nationally known developer that has drawn attention for high-dollar condominium projects in markets such as Las Vegas and the Bahamas is moving forward with plans to build a luxury condo tower in the Galleria area.Florida-based Turnberry Associates intends to build a high-rise condo project that could stand as tall as 42 stories just west of the Water Wall.

ProHouston Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Yeah, I just read this story on the Turnberry, a 42 story condo wedged between the Galleria and Transco! Wow, if this project gets built I'm sure it won't have a problem selling in the $500s as mentioned in the article.I'll look for proposed renderings...

The Great Hizzy! Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 42 stories suggests a tower around 450-plus feet. That would look good next to Transco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YakuzaIce Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I thought the Turnberry proposal had gone by the wayside considering how long it has been with no news. But I guess they have just been waiting for the city's approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VelvetJ Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 While on Richmond on yesterday, I saw a rendering that looked similar to this project in an open lot just West of the Best Buy but east of Hidalgo Street there on Richmond. I was driving and couldn't get a really good look but I think it may have been the Turnberry building.Does anyone know if that is the correct location of the project and if so, what is the status of groudbreaking?

Pumapayam Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Both the Mark II and Mercer II are still planned. The Mark II has a pre-sale office location in the Mark I building and the Mercer I recently refenced the parking garage as if they are getting ready to make a mess. So i think those two are going to break ground this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I always thought the "Mark II" was the initial name for what became the Mercer. Is that wrong?Turnberry is a national player. If they want to build in Houston, they'll build. Not sure the market is there however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mark is the one that look skeletal spine south of Richmond between Sage and McCue. The Mark II will go right behind Best Buy in the old Cavalia parking lot.

ProHouston Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It looks like they've begun construction adjacent to the Transco water wall on Hidalgo across from Nordstroms. Is this the site for this 42 story tower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Oh, I know the difference between the Mark and the Mercer.My question was, didn't the same group of investors build both? I thought that after the Mark was completed, they came together to produce what was originally called the Mark II but later the name changed to the Mercer.Is this correct?
