I was a member of the design

contract documents for this
rental building. Both the exteri-
or and the typical unit floor lay-

next to the future Ritz-
Carlton Hotel in the Post
Oak neighborhood. The
57 story building includes
boutique hotel style ameni-
ties including a concierge
and bellman, as well as two
separate lounges, catering
kitchens and wine storage.
A 19,000-square-foot roof-
top pool terrace with exten-
sive landscaping features
will be atop an attached, 6
level parking garage, able
to accomodate 350 cars.
The units include stainless
steel appliances, granite
slab countertops, crown
molding, hardwood floors
and travertine tile and will
be larger than compara-
tive rental units in Hous-
ton. With these additional
features and amenities,
along with the building’s
generous floor plans, over-
sized kitchens and living
spaces, Hanover hopes to
attract sophisticated rent-
ers that can’t currently
be accommodated in this
upscale neighborhood.
Hanover Tower at Boulevard Place was designed in 2007 while at SCB.
