Windows are in on the Montrose side of Hanover’s 30-ft. Kroger-facing residential highrise at the corner with Hawthorne St. Those 2 rows of empty spots in the grid just below the former elevation of Skybar have been left intentionally blank and belong to the complex’s garage-topping pool deck, which looks to have its north-facing balcony already hanging out over Hawthorne.
The development’s leasing website lists August 1st as the planned date for the first round of move-ins, which leaves 3 and a half months to wrap up the majority of construction. The parking garage has yet to get its full modesty covering, per previous renderings from the Montrose side:

Once all skins are in place, those driving northward up Montrose could get a view similar to this one as they approach the tower:
On top of that garage space will be the planned deck:
Here’s a glammed-up full rendering of the tower as seen from the Walgreen’s parking lot across Montrose at Lovett St. to the northeast — that’s a ghostly Kroger corner poking into view from the bottom right, in front of the tower’s main entrance:

The Montrose elevation reminds me of the new 432 Park in NYC (which is just a TAD bit taller!)…

I’m curious how the downturn in the Houston market will effect rents. I know the Market Square tower downtown is just starting to pre-lease and is already offering pretty good incentives with up 12 to 24 months. The price point for both seem to start around the same.
