Nov. 10--Houston loft developer Randall Davis plans to build a new crop of condominiums in the Galleria area after quickly selling out one project there.
The new development, called Empire, will be built next to the recently completed Manhattan, Davis' first residential building near Houston's best-known shopping mall.
The project is at the corner of Post Oak Boulevard and Hidalgo, next to the Williams Tower high-rise and Water Wall. The 64-foot-high water feature and several nearby lakes have become a tourist attraction.
"The idea is to build a community around the lakes," Davis of Randall Davis Co. said. "The lakes represent our Central Park, if you will."
This is also the second partnership between Davis' company and Hines, the nearly 50-year-old real estate firm.
Hines, which developed the Galleria, Williams Tower and many of Houston's prime high-rise office buildings, owns much of the land in the area, including the dirt under Manhattan and Empire.
