SkyHouse creates mini downtown neighborhood

One developer is adding hundreds of new apartments to the downtown residential market in a pair of 24-story towers along Main Street.
The first tower, SkyHouse Houston, opened last year with 336 units. The building is 78 percent occupied, manager Kristina Cotter said this week on a tour of the property.

Construction has reached the top floor of the second tower, SkyHouse Main, which will have 338 units.

Rents in SkyHouse Houston start at about $1,500 and go up to $3,300. Units include small studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Each has a balcony.

Atlanta-based Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Company along with local developer Peter Dienna are jointly developing the project, which will include street-level retail. Pizza chain Your Pie recently opened in the first building. SkyHouse Main is expected to open this summer.

Great to see more density coming to the business district!

Novare Group Inc. has opened its second SkyHouse-branded luxury apartment tower in downtown Houston.

The Atlanta-based multifamily developer finished SkyHouse Main, a 24-story, 338-unit tower at 1725 Main Street, just south of its first downtown Houston project, SkyHouse Houston. The developer is hosting a grand opening celebration Oct. 20 on SkyHouse Main’s rooftop SkyDeck.

The first residents of SkyHouse Main have moved in. Leasing and occupancy rates were not immediately available, but a Novare Group spokesman said lease-up is ahead of schedule with strong early demand.

Right next door is SkyHouse Houston, a 24-story, 336-unit tower at 1625 Main St., which opened in summer 2014 and leased up faster than expected. The twin project is now fully leased, according to company officials.
