The Dallas-based developer behind a new downtown skyscraper is turning its sights to River Oaks-Upper Kirby with a 12-story luxury apartment project replacing a 1960s-era strip center.

High Street Residential, a subsidiary of real estate firm Trammell Crow Co., recently took control of a 1.7-acre site at 2311 Westheimer, where it plans to build 209 apartments and a 2,900-square-foot ground floor cafe. The project is planned for the site of the former Antique Pavilion east of Kirby, near French restaurant a’Bouzy and the French Gourmet Bakery.

Contractors have begun removing hazardous materials from the existing building before clearing the site soon, a High Street Residential spokesperson said. The site has been home to a Randalls’ supermarket, a Hart Galleries auction house and, for the past 30 years, the Antique Pavilion. The collection of antique dealers closed at end of last year, before real estate firm Stanmore Partners transferred its long-term lease on the site to High Street Residential in late January.

High Street Residential and joint venture partner Daiwa House Industry are catering River Oaks on Westheimer to empty-nesters and young professionals seeking spacious units. The first several units will be ready for move in in the first quarter of 2025.

High Street enlisted two Houston companies, architecture firm Ziegler Cooper and interior design firm Rottet Studio, to help envision a new life for the property. Rottet Studio has worked on well-known communities such as La Colombe d’Or., while Ziegler Cooper has a roster of projects including High Street's recent Parkside Residences, a 43-story tower near Discovery Green.
