Serento Condominium Breaks Ground
Houston, TX - Construction fencing
and huge cranes seem to be a fixture in the Texas Medical Center
these days as new buildings and expansion of existing structures
is underway. And
it looks like it’s just the beginning. The TMC projected
campus growth shows an increase of about seven million gross square
feet through 2008, bringing the total physical space to 33 million
gross square feet. This is six million more than what was projected
in the 50 Year Master Plan that was published in 1999.
As new facilities and services are offered and
expanded, employees, students and patients will want to avoid the
traffic snarl of getting to their destination inside the medical
center. The opportunity
to live close-by is becoming very attractive. A new condominium
development, Serento, creates that possibility. Situated
on a quaint site at 2203 Dorrington Street off Montclair Drive, south
of Holcombe, the Serento Condominium, is just three
blocks from the Texas Medical Center main campus.
The Tuscan-inspired mid-rise will be comprised
of 44 one and two-bedroom residences in four stories with a single-story
garage at street level. A
state-of-the-art fitness center will also be located at street level,
and a large terrace for entertaining is situated on the first level. Controlled-access
in both garage and lobby enhances building security.
Interior home features include 9’ and 10’ ceilings,
crown molding, large windows, recessed lighting, ceramic and hardwood
floors, granite countertops and stainless appliances including electric
wine cooler.
Serento Condominium offers seven
floor plans ranging in size from 819 to 1445 square feet and priced
from the low $200’s
to the high $300’s. Thirty percent of the residences have
been sold.
Construction has begun, and expected completion
is in early 2008.
Serento Condominium is the third mid-rise residential
project developed by innerLoopCondos.com, a Houston-based
company created in 2004 by Group LSR, an international real estate
development company. The Vistas at Midtown was completed and
sold out in 2006, and the second project, Piedmont at River Oaks, is
in the final stages with some owners already moving in. Future
development inside the loop is planned. For more information,
