Houston developer plans new luxury condo tower in River Oaks area

Giorgio Borlenghi is planning to construct a new luxury condominium tower in the River Oaks area.

The long-time Houston developer — well-known for building high-end office, hotel and condo buildings in Uptown — will begin pre-sales Aug. 25 in his first condo project inside the 610 Loop.

Villa Borghese will rise on a city block bounded by Bammel Lane, Earl, Sackett and Philfall streets, just east of Lamar High School near River Oaks Boulevard and Westheimer Road.

Borlenghi, the founder of Houston-based The Interfin Cos., purchased the property last year for an undisclosed price. Currently, there are about 20 older homes on the site, all commercial businesses ranging from a restaurant, hairdresser, doctor’s office and shops. Most of the homes will be moved to new locations around town, Borlenghi said.

Borlenghi plans to sell half of the units before breaking ground a year from now. Construction will take two years to complete, which means delivery will be in the second half of 2019.

Something's brewing here, though not sure if plans have remained the same. The sales center which were to be used for this project, a house that stood on the block, has been demolished. A subdivision plat was also filed with the city back in May. This project was put on hold shortly after being announced.
