HOUSTON | 2929 Weslayan | 533 FT / 162 M | 40 FLOORS

Project in brief: In 2006, Houston-based Interfin Companies purchased a well known local restaurant known as The State Grille and a nearby small office building on 2.6 acres of land near at the intersection of Weslayan and West Alabama. The site was cleared in 2008, after the company had announced plans to build a 27-story highrise at the site. In the wake of the downturn in the economy, Interfin held onto the site for some time, until PM Realty picked it up in 2011.

After the deal, PM announced a proposal that would see a 35 story, 250 unit apartment tower with parking and retail in the base. RTKL is noted as the architect with the project. Construction expected to commence in Q2 of 2012.

The Houston-based company acquired the 2.6-acre site on the northeast corner of Weslayan and West Alabama Aug. 22 for an undisclosed price from Interfin Cos., which assembled the tract five years ago with no specific plans for development.

“We were actively out looking at sites,” said Roger Gregory, PM Realty’s CFO. “This was the site we really felt was best-suited for high-rise multifamily.”

And just last month, a promotional sign with a more defined rendering of the base appeared at the site. The address on the sign, however, refers to the office building the developer owns across the street.
