Pelican Builders Inc. on May 20 celebrated the grand opening of Highland Tower, a 16-story condo building that features 93 luxury units.
The first six of 16 floors has been completed, and is ready for residents to move in. Thirty-five percent of the condos are spoken for.
Highland Tower is located at 2109 Bancroft Lane, inside the 610 Loop between Westheimer and San Felipe.
The building, which was designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects, is near The Briarglen, a 68-unit condo project developed by Pelican Builders that sold out in 2007.
Construction began on the project in 2008, before financing dried up for new developments.
One-, two- and three-bedroom units in the tower range in size from 825 square feet to 2,134 square feet. Prices start in the $400,000s and go up to $1 million.
The condos include luxury features such as stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, oversized Kohler soaking tubs and floor-to-ceiling glass to maximize views.
The fifth-floor terrace level features a resort-style, infinity edge pool; an outdoor pavilion with kitchen and fireplaces; and a putting green in a park-like setting. A fitness center, private dining room with catering kitchen and a resident lounge are also on the same level.
Pelican Builders has a track record of developing townhomes and condos in Houston over the past 30 years.
The firm is responsible for The Woodway, Greenway I & II, 5000 Montrose at the Museum and Woodway Place.
