jgriff Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) There are three reviews on Yelp. All of them 1 star. I recently moved much closer to downtown and actually thought about moving into downtown. It just didn't make sense though. I bought a new house near Regent Square instead. I'm paying about the same as the largest units in Skyhouse for 2.5 times the square footage and I own it.

cspwal Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 One of the things I've been wondering is why they chose to have their GFR on the outside of the two buildings (Leeland and Jefferson) as opposed to having them face each other on Pease to create more of a retail corridor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 can someone that has worked in the industry comment on this whether 40% occupancy 10 months after opening and 4 months after the entire building opened is good/normal? that sounds bad to me, but others think that sounds good. and although the developer says this is expected, offering significant concessions seems to suggest otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 For reference.. The sovereign was 40% leased up BY THE TIME IT OPENED. It's now at 85%.http://m.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/2015/04/first-look-inside-the-sovereign-luxury-apartment.htmlNote Randy has an advertising campaign of his own going on at HBJ.

Triton Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Wow read these reviews from people who live there: http://www.yelp.com/biz/skyhouse-houston-houston Edit: Yes, one who doesn't. I'd wait to see further reviews. I usually don't judge a place based on just 4 reviews but I gotta admit... I kinda expected it from here.

I'd wait to see further reviews. I usually don't judge a place based on just 4 reviews but I gotta admit... I kinda expected it from here. Wow - those are really bad - sounds like they definitely need a new leasing staff....has anyone on here gone by for a look ? I know it's hard to gain a sense from online reviews - they are usually negative, but these all seem to be in agreement that the leasing staff is bad...

ArchFan Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) yow! this is disappointing to hear about. earlier on, the publicity was about how good these guys were at putting up a building fast, basically because the followed the same formula, again and again. However, building is one thing, managing a rental property is another. I hope they will get their act together or else turn the project over to someone who is good at it.

astros148 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 the front staff were awful when I went to look for a showing last week. Made me wait around for extra time and rushed me through the process and wanted for me to sign on the spot. I left unhappy and just signed across at houston house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoninATX Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Seems like there needs to be new management. If the people that work there don't like what they do, it's easy find another job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Wow!I certainly hope that Novarre is aware of these comments. Sounds like they should send in a few "secret shoppers" to see if they experience similar issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nole23 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Drove by this really quick and thought I saw a sign on one of the retail spaces for a liquor license. If so, glad they are finally leasing out one of the retail spaces. If not, then carry on.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
