Exclusive: Details emerge on first luxury condo high-rise in The Woodlands

The Woodlands Development Co. plans to build a 22- to 26-story luxury condominium tower near The Woodlands Waterway.

The longtime Houston-area developer — a wholly owned subsidiary of Dallas-based The Howard Hughes Corp.(NYSE: HHC) — has been quietly working on its first residential high-rise in The Woodlands.

Jim Carman, Howard Hughes' director of building development, told the Houston Business Journal the condo tower will be between 22 and 26 stories, depending on unit sales. Floor plans have not been finalized, but each floor is expected to have up to four units with possible penthouses having fewer units. The tower will have approximately 90 units in total, and will have an upscale and contemporary design, Carman said.

The Woodlands Development Co. hopes to break ground on the project later this year, Carman said. The site is planned and permitted, and a groundbreaking date will be set pending unit sales. More details on the project, as well as renderings, are forthcoming in the coming months, Carman added.

It looks like a couple projects might have been canceled. I don't see a lot of the office buildings, like Chevron tower, International tower, or 6 Houston Center. It also appears that a number of the residential projects have been pushed back.

Luxe additions position Galleria for a bright future

A quarter-billion-dollar investment in the landmark Houston Galleria and the addition of luxury retailers so cutting edge you'll be forgiven for never having heard of them offer further evidence of the city's rising prominence as a destination for the biggest of spenders.

"The Galleria is one of the top retail assets in the country, if not the world," said David Simon, who heads the real estate giant that owns it, during a visit to the city on Wednesday. "In a center like this, you can never stay still."

Though the upgrades were announced nearly a year and a half ago, the $250 million scope of it was never clear before Simon arrived to formally unveil three new Galleria tenants: The Webster, a hip boutique making its first foray outside of Miami; La Perla, an Italian brand famous for its slinky and expensive lingerie; and Céline, a French ready-to-wear designer of coveted handbags, shoes and apparel.

Block 98 looks like 40 stories, not 34, in the picture.

How close are either of these to getting a go-ahead?

Clearing Out the Greenway Gardens Apartments; Is a New Marquis Coming?

IT SURE LOOKS like demolition is a-coming for the Greenway Gardensapartments at 3131 Timmons Ln. near Greenway Plaza. Either that or the 43-year-old 10-building apartment complex is undergoing a rather brutal first phase of a renovation — as portrayed in the photos shown here, which were taken late last week. The 3-story complex sits on 6-and-a-half acres between W. Alabama St. and Richmond Ave.

CWS Capital, the California real estate firm that bought the complex last March, lists a 425-unit new-construction project named Marquis at Greenway among a list of “current developments” on its website. The company operates 10 other apartment complexes that have names that begin with “Marquis” in the Houston area.

Kingwood residents get update on development

During Houston City Councilman Dave Martin's town hall meeting Feb. 19, Kingwood residents learned about the Kings Creek development and the mobility upgrades that will be needed for its construction.

"The mixed-use development will be located along the Interstate 69 south frontage road, between Sorters Road and the service road to I-69," said David McCarble, principal for David Development.

"We will have water features for the children and an outdoor pavilion we will be building that will seat 4,000 to 5,000 people. We also found out we are connected to the Spring Creek trail that comes over from The Woodlands, which is about a 13.5 mile-hike- and-bike trail. It will connect it to the 7.5 miles of hike and bike trails that we'll have on the Kings Creek campus …"

The $1.2 billion development, which is scheduled to break ground in May, will include 1 million square feet of Class A office space, a sustainable park, outdoor fitness areas, more than 250,000 square feet of retail space, restaurants with the capacity for organic farming, two hotels and more than 1,200 multifamily units.
