HOUSTON | Ace & Ivy River Oaks | 183 FT | 13 FLOORS
Project in brief: An existing 3-story office building at was sold earlier in the year to a developer at 3100 W. Alabama in the Greenway/Upper Kirby neighborhood.
In its place would be a new mixed-use structure featuring residential condominiums, an interior courtyard (marketed as a plaza or paseo) and spaces for retail including a number of pickleball courts, as well as parking. I notated the structure as having 11 floors as the penthouse atop the building looks to be for mechanical purposes rather than habitable space.
The courtyard/retail component has been redesigned somewhat and after being revised further in the past few weeks, it was able to gain approval of the Planning Commission yesterday.
The Planning Commission approved the variance request. A House and Robertson architect spoke during the meeting and so did the developer Wilson Ho who said it will have 11 pickle ball courts.
