The River Oaks Examiner‘s Cynthia Lescalleet tours the brand-new 340-unit One Park Place, across from Discovery Green Downtown:
Units are bright and spacious, with several oversized features, such as 10-foot ceilings that, unlike loft properties, are finished, meaning no dust or gloomy black paint. Each unit has a balcony. Views vary. Overall, the apartments toured felt solid and private and very much like city living in other major cities, which was the point. In One Park Place, Finger Companies wanted to build a landmark residence reminiscent of the historic parkside properties in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Meanwhile, the project’s rose-colored masonry with stone accents connotes other noted Houston architecture. . . .
Okay, how much?
. . . the property’s floorplans have verdant names like Cedar and Azalea. The smallest units have about 800 square feet and lease for $1,800-$2,550 if located on the lower floors of the tower. The six penthouses lease for $6,400 to $11,880 for units of 2,000 to 3,500 square feet.

I like the fact that Finger has put a landmark residential property in downtown with visibility.
Does anybody know how many units they have leases on already?
Nice property, but those prices per sq. ft. are RIDICULOUS. Even in comparison to other Texas cities, like Dallas and Austin.
Best of luck leasing at that price point.
Most NEW residential lease towers in Dallas have slashed rates. A friend of mine renewed his lease at the Cirque http://www.cirquevictorypark.com/ in Victory Park, which is much more fabulous than One Park Place, and his rate was reduced by $250 per month!
Additionally, most properties now offer specials, like one-two months free.
Seriously, those prices are ridiculous.
nice interior shot… exterior is ghastly to say the least..
