CONDO HOMEOWNERS ENJOY FREEDOM AND LOWER TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP Home Owners Association (HOA) fees can sometimes be a deterrent to buyers who are not familiar with them, but desire to live in a condominium. In fact, more often than not, prospective homeowner’s are delighted to learn that their total cost of ownership is usually lower compared to their current homes. The lower cost is due to the advantages of sharing costs with other owners and the inherent energy efficiency of a concrete building compared to the wood structure of a single family home. For some homeowner’s there is a new evolution in condominium living that further increases the total cost of ownership advantage. These new buildings are more boutique sized, include curated amenities and programmed with staffing to better contain the overall HOA fees. Instead of a fully-serviced and amenitized building, where homeowners want everything included in their HOA fee, a basic package is provided along with a list of services available a la carte. The a la carte option allows flexibility for each homeowner to choose what they want to pay for, instead of paying for something they don’t want. Some of the newer boutique buildings such as The Sophie or Giorgetti Houston forego services or extra amenities such as valet or multiple pools. This approach provides homeowners the peace of mind and freedom of lock-and-leave without compromising lifestyle, at a lower total cost. Some financial planners are advising clients to purchase condominiums over continuing to live in single-family homes to control a fixed cost of ownership. This can be especially advantageous for those people considering maximizing their retirement income over time and how to best allocate resources. Whether you choose a fully-amenitized building at a base of 79 cents a square foot or a partially amenitized building at 39 cents a square foot, owning a condominium can reduce your total cost of ownership over a single-family home. The ease and efficiency of writing one check a month to your HOA instead of multiple checks for utilities, lawn and pool services, etc., is also attractive to a buyer seeking the ease of a condominium lifestyle. For most homeowners, the fact that they no longer deal with yard or pool maintenance or worry about the roof or windows is worth the set HOA fee. In addition, knowing that all homeowners are contributing monthly maintenance fees with a portion to be put in reserves to protect their investment, gives a collective peace of mind.

Live in the art of it all. Immerse yourself in a fascinating world of art, culture, and entertainment. The Houston Museum District is one of the top multicultural art districts in the country and attracts people from all over the world to learn about and celebrate art, history, culture, and nature. At the core of this neighborhood steeped in discovery and culture, Houston-based Oxberry Group is creating a contemporary architectural statement fashioned by rhythm and light. The Mondrian at the Museums, a luxury condominium project in the Museum District, is a meticulously crafted sculpture of glass, steel, and concrete. The eight-story midrise designed by architects Perkins + Will and EDI International, features a modern Tetris-like steel and glass facade inspired by Piet Mondrian, a Dutch artist who is known for his modern geometric paintings. The midrise will feature just 20 condominium residences, two and three-bedroom units — boasting expansive, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and double-height ceilings in select residences— that average close to 3,000 square feet and start from $1.3 million. Two 4,700-square-foot penthouse units at the top of the building will take advantage of dramatic views. A full-time concierge service will help residents pick up dry cleaning and packages. THE MONDRIAN AT THE MUSEUMS DEVELOPER Oxberry Group SIZE 2 – 3 BEDS | 2,900 – 4,700 SF PRICES From $1.3M FEATURES • Boutique-sized building of only 20 residences • Double height ceilings in select homes • Low HOA fees with lock & leave • Full-time concierge • Outdoor living on large terraces, with fireplaces and grills • Easy access to downtown, Hermann Park and the Medical Center • Neighborhood WalkScore™ of 83 • Unobstructed views of downtown and museums • Modern Design masterpiece CONTACT MondrianHouston.com | 713.343.6125 LOCATION Museum District | 5104 Caroline

The developers envisioned a “signature” building in The Mondrian, one that would elicit critical acclaim for its modern design and high-end features. However the Houston developer also wanted the luxury condominium project to be resilient, one that could withstand flooding that has become all too common in the low-lying Bayou City. That’s why the developers decided to add a back-up power generator on the roof of The Mondrian, which would power the building’s critical infrastructure, such as elevators, during an emergency. Close collaborations with the finest manufacturers and purveyors will ensure that every extraordinary home is outfitted with the same attention to detail as its design and construction. The Mondrian at the Museums is poised to serve as a living landmark for the next chapter of one of Houston’s most storied and vibrant neighborhoods. The Mondrian is now under construction at the corner of Caroline and Palm Streets in the heart of the Museum District.

SALES AND MARKET UPDATE: Damage left in hurricane Harveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wake has further increased interest in condominium living across the city. Among other unique features, above ground parking, homes elevated above street level, and concrete construction, provide even more peace of mind for buyers concerned about future weather events. A new report released this week by Sudhoff tracked the supply and demand of new luxury condominiums in Houston available for move-in prior to end of the first quarter 2018. There are now fewer than 40 new condominiums still available in this market that meet these criteria and set to deliver by March 31, 2018. Based upon market demand, we predict all this inventory will be sold prior to that date. Additionally, for those buyers who would like to buy a new luxury condominium, but prefer to wait, the next available inventory will not deliver until more than one year later (2nd Quarter 2019) and all of that inventory should all be absorbed long before those move-ins begin.

Luxurious finishes, include Calacatta marble countertops, Gaggenau appliances and Poggenpohl cabinets complement hardwoods and rich limestone throughout. Designed by internationally-respected architect and interior designer, Lauren Rottet, the building’s common areas perfectly represent the style and elegance for which The River Oaks has become renowned.
