Builders Break Ground On Another River Oaks Mid-Rise With Condos Starting At $1.5M

River Oaks is gaining another mid-rise made up of multimillion-dollar condominiums with the groundbreaking of Randall Davis Co.'s London House.

The 12-story, 70K SF tower at 2323 San Felipe St. is already 35% sold, according to the property's website. Randall Davis announced that construction began Tuesday, and the project is set to deliver in mid-2024.

The building will have 23 units — 19 standard and four penthouses — that range from 2.7K SF to 4.2K SF, according to a news release. All units have at least three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Standard units start at $1.5M and penthouse units start at $3.8M.

Amenities include a four-story parking garage, a dog run and pet washing station, along with an option to customize units, including the addition of an outdoor kitchen for early buyers. The design of the mid-rise draws inspiration from the neighboring River Oaks townhomes and London’s Chelsea neighborhood, the release states.

“It’s our goal to bring a smaller, more exclusive residence to River Oaks and provide those seeking a luxurious lock-and-leave lifestyle with unobstructed views of the fabulous neighborhood, high-quality design and state-of-the-art amenities,” said Randall Davis, who is developing London House with his daughter Natalie.

Less than a half mile away at 2419 Mimosa Drive, Pelican Builders expects to break ground this quarter on The Lexington, an eight-story, 114K SF condominium complex with 40 units ranging in starting price from $1.7M to $4.3M. The project should be delivered about 18 months after the start of construction, placing its completion around the same time as London House.

But there seems to be a robust market for these types of units in the River Oaks area, as Pelican Builders’ The Revere, also less than a half mile from London House, opened in summer 2020 and sold out in August.

Randall Davis Co. had also planned in 2020 to build a 25-story boutique high-rise of condominiums on Westheimer Road between River Oaks and the Galleria area, but the project was canceled in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
