Twinsanity02 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Getting somewhat back on topic, does anyone know how many high rise apartment/condos ring Hermann Park and vicinity? I can imagine in the not too distant future most of the Park will be rung by highrises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The western side won't due to its proximity to Fannin and Main. Then you have Rice University. The northern end of the park has the most potential for a high density of high and mid rise residential development. Of course the south end will continue to see higher density in the med center with taller towers built in place of some of the obsolete facilities that now sit abandoned. Along Almeda eventually more high rises will be built. Its a straight shot downtown and perfectly situated for easy access to 288 and the Med center is a short walk. Hanover recently bought one of the Mosaic towers.

I see big future for Almeda with some great potential retail locations in older 1 and 2 story building stock. It's the eastern boulevard in the Midtown area and connects everything from downtown to the stadiums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CREguy13 Posted December 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2019 Breaking ground in Q1 2020, per HBJ article: Houston-based real estate investor Nitya Capital has partnered with Tema Development, also based in Houston, to bring another luxury apartment project to Hermann Park. Two Hermann Place will rise 32 stories at 1661 Hermann Drive near Jackson Street in the Museum District, next to One Hermann Place and The Parklane, both of which Tema also developed. The new tower is expected to break ground in the first quarter of 2020 and be complete in the winter of 2022, according to a press release. Page, an architecture firm with an office in Houston, is listed in the release, but a general contractor on the project was not included. “During our design process, we carefully researched every detail of this charming and historical area of Houston to build a residential space that effortlessly blends with the beautiful Hermann Park backdrop,” said Nadim Zabaneh, vice president of Tema Development. The release notes that some of the steps taken to capture the neighborhood's style in the design included matching the stone of the building to the nearby Museum District. “It was important for us to maintain the character of the Hermann Place area to create an authentic park-like setting for our residents,” Zabaneh said. The tower's 295 residential units will consist of 13 floor plans with an average size of 1,076 square feet. Units will feature high ceilings, quartz countertops and backsplashes, chef-inspired appliances, large closets with storage systems in every unit, USB charging stations and Nest thermostats. The tower's 18,000 square feet of community amenities will include a resort-style pool with a sunbathing ledge and cabanas, a 2,100-square-foot sky lounge on the top floor, a café bar, an 11,000-square-foot amenity deck on the eighth floor, a conference area, a dog park, a barbecue area and a fitness center overlooking the park. The building also will offer 24-hour valet service with transportation shuttles to nearby destinations, plus private garages, electric vehicle charging stations and other conveniences. The release also notes that Two Hermann Place is just the beginning of Nitya and Tema's partnership. "Both organizations look forward to a long-term partnership in efforts to design new structures and redevelop existing assets into modern and state of the art multi-use real estate projects," the release states. Tema completed The Parklane, a 35-story luxury condominium and apartment tower at 1701 Hermann Drive, in 1983. The developer broke ground in December 2014 on the seven-story, 224-unit apartment complex at 1699 Hermann Drive that's now called One Hermann Place. That project opened in 2016, and Tema said at the time that it was in the early stages of planning two high-rise residential towers called Two and Three Hermann Place on the remainder of the 6 acres next to One Hermann Place and The Parklane. Nitya is led by Swapnil Agarwal, a 2019 40 Under 40 honoree and a 2019 Most Admired CEOs honoree. He launched Nitya Capital, a privately held real estate investment firm, and Karya Property Management in 2013. Nitya Capital has grown from there to have more than $1.5 billion in total assets, including ownership and management of more than 16,000 units throughout Texas, as well as 250,000 square feet of commercial space. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
