Belfiore Highrise Condos coming to Houston by Borlenghi

Rendering of the Belfiore Tower High Rise coming to Uptown Park!Another wonderful high rise is coming to Houston. Mr. Borlenghi has built some of the most beautiful high rises in Houston. Now he is really stepping out of the box to design a 26 story highrise that features only two units per floor at a whopping 4,650 square feet each. Borlenghi is answering the requests of empty nesters some moving from as much as 12,000 square feet. In fact, private offerings during the past three weeks have resulted in sale of the two penthouses and 12 additional residences of the 46 total. Average price of the units is approximately $600 per square foot.

Each apartment has two elevators and its own elevator lobby. All kitchens are gas. Ceilings are 11 feet high. Each unit has two balconies that wrap the corners of the building, totaling 700 square feet of outdoor space. Two industrial generators guarantee that the building will have electrical service in any power outage. And there is even a dog park. Add a formal garden with walking path, outdoor entertaining area and pool area with cabanas and luxury outdoor furnishings. The two acres will allow Mr. Borlenghi to do everything that he believes a luxurious building should have. Each unit is set to be four bedrooms but can be altered at this point.

Construction should start in the beginning of 2014 and be complete by 2016. You better not wait though they are going fast!

Historic hotel razed to make room for luxury apartments

The Ben Milam Hotel — built in 1928 as a 10-story, 250-room, air-conditioned haven for travelers — came down dramatically on Sunday afternoon in a well-choreographed implosion. The adjacent lot is slated for an eight-story, 380-unit apartment complex to be developed by The Finger Companies, with price points starting around $1,250. Construction is expected to start in the spring. ]]>

Three luxury apartment projects to rise near Highland Village

Houston’s apartment market has been is one of the best in the nation with many new projects starting because of the rising rents, high occupancy and unprecedented quick lease-ups on new units. Most of the new projects are high-rise or mid-rise because the land is so precious. Martin Fein will build three new apartment buildings with a total of 552 units on a 10-acre tract at West Alabama and Las Palmas. Fein’s project, called Willowick Park, will have three multi-family projects: Aria at Willowick Park, a seven-story rental building; Olympia at Willowick Park, an eight-story rental building; and The Townhomes at Willowick Park. ]]>

The $67 Million SkyHouse Houston Approved

Main Street high-rise gets big tax incentives: The $67 million SkyHouse is set to rise SkyHouse Houston Downtown BY WHITNEY RADLEY Culture Map 11.15.12 | 10:14 am News broke last week that Novare Group, an Atlanta-based developer, was partnering with two other firms on plans to build a 24-story, 336-unit high-rise apartment at 1625 Main Street — but only if the City of Houston gave it a significant tax incentive to do so. Well, the Downtown Redevelopment Authority board voted to approve a residential incentive plan for the developer Tuesday afternoon, despite the fact that the project lies outside of boundaries for the Downtown Living Initiative Chapter 380 passed by Houston City Council in August. That program was meant to entice developers to the area with a $15,000 per unit rebate in hopes of doubling the number of downtown residences by 2016, with an incentive for the first 2,500 residential units under contract. Downtown Living Initiative director TataLease Derby tells CultureMap that the project qualifies, instead, under the TIRZ #3 Downtown Living Chapter 380 Program, a similar initiative that also allows for a $15,000 per unit rebate. “Everybody’s very excited about the project,” Bob Eury, executive director of the Downtown Redevelopment Authority, says. “It’s the first project of the Downtown Living Initiative, and exactly what we hope to see more of.” The $67 million SkyHouse Houston is anticipated to appeal to young singles who want to live in the city, with mostly one-bedroom and studio floor plans priced around $1,600 per month. Amenities would include a fitness center and a pool, plus parking in an adjacent garage. Novare was given the go-ahead to proceed with a similar SkyHouse project on Rainey Street in Austin this September. The Downtown Living Initiative Chapter 380 incentive isn’t retroactive, so it won’t be available to Marvy Finger and his luxury apartments in the shadow of Minute Maid Park (and on the site of the Ben Milam Hotel, which is slated for implosion on Dec. 9). It will include, though, the buyer of a “premier downtown block” offered up by Houston First Corporation on Wednesday. The 110,000-square-foot tract is bounded by Capitol, Rusk and Crawford Street and Avenida de las Americas, across from the future site of a forthcoming convention center hotel. Prospective buyers, queue up. If you would like to pre-lease a unit call Margie Kaplan at 281-463-6365 for more information.
