Hines Breaks Ground On WaterWall Place

Hines and its joint venture partner Hines Global REIT announced the start of construction on WaterWall Place, a seven-story, 316,000-square-foot multifamily property near the Williams Tower in Uptown Houston.

The 322-unit community will be located on a three-acre site at the northeast corner of Hidalgo Street and McCue Road, overlooking the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park. The project is being developed by Hines’ new Multifamily Division and is the first of several planned projects in Houston.

General contractor Urban Oaks Builders is building WaterWall Place, starting with the parking garage, with residential building construction starting in mid-September. The project will deliver first units for occupancy in November 2013, with final completion in June 2014.

The project is designed by Wallace Garcia Wilson with Jackson Ryan as design architect.
