Houston’s River Oaks District 300-unit high-rise with Gables

HOUSTON – A 15-story apartment is planned for a 2.5-acre site along Westcreek Lane between Westheimer and San Felipe. The yet-to-be-named building will have 300 units, averaging 1,400 sf and priced in the range of $2.60 per sf.

Gables Residential is the developer and plans to break ground second quarter 2015. Ziegler Cooper designed the building.

Joshua Landry, area vice president of investments for Gables Residential, said the building will target “a sophisticated renter with a higher disposable income.”

“We are doing a higher level of service, concierge service and amenities we will offer will be different from other projects,” Landry said.

This is the company’s first high-rise in Houston, though it has built tall towers in other markets. The building should open about 20 months after construction starts.
