Australian Developer Buys Two Sites in Midtown for 1,000 residential units
Quote:
Melbourne high-rise developer Joe Russo has secured two development sites in Houston, Texas, with plans for about 1000 apartments.
He paid about US$8 million ($10.5 million) for a small block in Houston's "latte and laptop" mid-town district with plans for more than 350 apartments over 28 levels.
Russo told the Australian Financial Review it had an end value of about $228 million.
He has also bought a second site across the road that will hold more than 600 apartments, with plans including shops and a piazza.
"I looked at five cities in the US and fell in love with Houston," he said.
"It's a growing city with 6.5 million people, the biggest medical precinct in the US. In the midtown area where I have acquired my sites, there's a lot of gentrification going on with bars and restaurants opening up and a new light rail in operation."
