Houston-based Satya Inc. has offered the first glimpse of what future residents at the St. Regis Residences Houston can expect when the building is delivered in a few years.
Construction work is officially underway on a long-awaited mixed-use development in the Greenway-Upper Kirby area.
Transwestern Development Co. announced June 24 that it has broken ground on The RO, a 17-acre development at 3120 Buffalo Speedway, near the corner of West Alabama Street and Buffalo Speedway. When it is completed in 2027, The RO, pronounced “row,” will include Houston’s first luxury Auberge Resorts Collection hotel with attached condo units, a sprawling retail village with up to eight restaurants, more than 700 apartment units and creative office space.
Connecticut-based architecture design firm, Pickard Chilton is overseeing the master plan. Transwestern tapped New York-based Kohn Pederson Fox to design the hotel and condo building, with Houston-based Dillon Kyle Architects overseeing the condo interiors and New York-based Roman & Williams designing the hotel’s interiors. San Francisco-based House & Robertson Architects was tapped to serve as architect of record for the hotel and condos.
Nearly seven years after first announcing plans to build a massive mixed-use development in the Greenway-Upper Kirby area, Transwestern Development Co. is finally preparing to break ground.
Next month, Transwestern will begin construction work on The RO, a 17-acre development at 3120 Buffalo Speedway, near the corner of West Alabama Street and Buffalo Speedway.
That intersection is one of the most prominent and well-trafficked in the area. When it is completed in 2027, The RO, pronounced “row,” will include Houston’s first luxury Auberge Resorts Collection hotel with attached condo units, a sprawling retail village with up to eight restaurants, more than 700 multifamily units and creative office space.
To design the site, Transwestern assembled a "who's who" of prominent firms, with Connecticut-based architecture firm Pickard Chilton overseeing the master plan. For the multifamily and office design, Transwestern again hired Pickard Chilton as design architect.
“From the very beginning, the vision for the site was to create a mixed-use environment that doesn’t feel like it was all built at one time, with a sense of variety in the architecture and a shared palette of building textures inspired by River Oaks legacies,” said Anthony Markese, a principal at Pickard Chilton.
