Atlanta-based Gables Residential recently hired Ziegler Cooper Architects to create an upscale mixed-use development located in the Tanglewood area, just west of Houston’s Galleria.
The 8-story, 316 unit, concrete frame building will include a rooftop pool terrace, club room and outdoor living with views of the Galleria and Uptown. Other amenities include: lounge, dining room, theatre, fitness, outdoor kitchen and living room. A courtyard, the new home for an old oak tree that will be transplanted from the existing site, will also connect both retail and parking.
The design integrates a detailed brick and masonry facade, acknowledging the soft pastel color palette of the surrounding Mediterranean heritage of Tanglewood.
Bering will break ground in November 2011 adding 301,801 sf of luxury apartment living and 22,000 sf of boutique retail to activate the street scene of this upscale urban development. The project is scheduled to break ground November 2011 and estimated completion is May 2013.
