A note from

MARILYN Our Dear Readers, It seems that spring has been in the air off and on for many months now. Houston is unique and very fortunate in that regard. As the “real” spring draws near, we at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty have seen our traditional spring market begin quite early. One can literally feel the electricity in the air regarding anything related to real estate. Our agents are experiencing hints of the “good ole days” with open houses having record turn outs. The department that schedules our showings is going fast and furious as they accommodate all the requests to see our outstanding homes. 2017 has proven to be robust in demand for homes in all of our wonderful neighborhoods. We believe that the best is yet to come for Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty and it is with great anticipation that we look beyond the spring market and predict another record year. In this PROPERTIES issue we have featured five outstanding Houstonians: Dr. Rebecca Rabinow – former Met Curator, now the Menil Collection Director, Renu Khator – UH Chancellor/President, Janet Gurwitch – manufacturer of Laura Mercier Cosmetics, Jennifer Dominiquini – BBVA Compass Bank – Chief Marketing and Client Experience Officer, and Martha Turner – Founder, President Emeritus of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty. You will find it intriguing to read the personal perspective they have on Houston and their careers. As we all know, Houston is a great city to immerse ourselves in activity. Hopefully, you were able to visit some of the beautiful homes on the Azalea Trail and hear one of your favorite artists at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. With our unusually warm weather, Galveston is a sure bet for early fun at the beach. We have a wonderful portfolio of homes in Galveston and would love to assist you if a water lifestyle is something you would like to pursue. This edition of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty PROPERTIES magazine is filled with gorgeous homes. The diversity in style, architecture and beauty is evident with the turn of each page. Please call us if we can be of assistance in any way. It would be a pleasure to visit with you personally.

Marilyn Thompson President, Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty

Scott Butler

Architects by nature seek to shape their environment with buildings of their own design, but few are able to do it so comprehensively as Bo and Scott Butler. Brothers and business partners who both hold master’s degrees in architecture, these self-styled “urban developers” don’t just design very high-end homes; they design and develop entire neighborhoods and then build their designs themselves.

Butler Brothers operates three distinct businesses providing architectural, development and construction services. “We didn’t expect to do all three when we started,” the brothers said. “The intent was to be architects and developers but we ended up as the contractors as well in order to control the timing and quality.” BO Butler

The brothers look for location first, not price. When they saw the opportunity presented by a tract of secluded, wooded acreage in the heart of the River Oaks/Uptown Park nexus, they purchased the property in 2012, began to draw their plans, and Audubon Hollow was born. “We were inspired by the architecture of Hays Towne, that synthesis of classic Acadian cottage and Creole influences that includes tall ceilings, exterior French doors with full-length shutters, and lavish use of cypress, heart of pine, and brick,” said Scott. “We called it Audubon Hollow as a way to capture the essence of the place; Audubon for John J. Audubon and his nature paintings and Hollow to reference the wooded seclusion and ravine.” Impressive manned guard gates grant entrance to Audubon Hollow from

Briar Hollow Lane. Surrounding a tree-lined esplanade with a fountain, gardens, and a charming garconnière, homes offer custom exterior details, shuttered French doors and windows, generous porches and wraparound galleries, lush gardens, and intimate courtyards. Features include elevators, furniturequality cabinetry, rich hardwood floors, custom stone, decorative ceilings, custom doors, wood-burning fireplaces, professional-grade appliances, and security and home automation systems. “We created Audubon Hollow for those attracted by the convenience and security of a high-rise building but don’t want to give up their traditional home lifestyle,” said Bo. “Our management company offers concierge, ‘white glove’ service that takes care of all common areas, backyards, and private pools, and keeps watch on residents’ homes when they are traveling.” “We call ourselves ‘urban developers’ because what we do won’t translate to suburbia,” said Scott. “We strive to build the right way, not the easy way. We work from precedent architecture, going back to the root of a period, and move that precedent style forward for modern living.” 76 Audubon Hollow Lane . . . . . . . . .

Proceed positively, plan purposefully, prepare prayerfully, pursue persistently.

Founder and Chairman Emeritus


Martha Turner is loving, living and laughing like a lady by Sharon Witt From a very early age, Martha Turner’s life was immersed in sales. She worked in the family-owned Fullers Dry Good store in Hemphill, Texas. It was there she learned the basic skills of serving people. Martha says “this experience helped prepare me to teach school for 15 years, sell World Books door to door, own a wig shop and eventually get a real estate license.” She notes it is of utmost importance when teaching to know the material that you are presenting. This ties beautifully to real estate as you must know your material (the real estate market) to have success with the client whether they are purchasing or selling a home. Application of these skills would later propel her into the ownership of a Real Estate Brokerage Firm whose annual volume is over two billion dollars in sales.

mold for Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty today. “Having an outstanding leader at the helm of a company is crucial to the success that will be achieved,” states Turner. Leadership means to “follow me, let’s do it together.” Tenets of Martha’s successful leadership style include: “Do the task with those that you are leading. There is no substitute for hard work. Don’t expect anyone to do a task you aren’t willing to do yourself. If the wastebasket needs emptied, empty the wastebasket. I literally mean any task. Enthusiasm is contagious and this is something a leader must have. It is difficult to remain neutral or indifferent in the presence of a positive thinker and terrific leader. Success is not measured by the position you reach, but by the obstacles you overcome. There are four steps important to becoming a great leader: 1. Proceed positively. 2. Plan purposefully. 3. Prepare prayerfully. 4. Pursue persistently.”

Martha says she is often asked how she has seen the Houston real estate market evolve since Believing in the essential value she first moved to the city. of service, Martha’s contributions She states, “in 1966, soon have been peppered with after I moved to Houston, I numerous civic, philanthropic purchased my first home for and professional leadership $21,000.

Influential Women

of Houston

Dr. Rebecca Rabinow

Houston is poised to be a major culture capital and people who don’t see that haven’t been here for a while.

The Menil Collection

Director


Dr. Rebecca Rabinow Shepherding a new era of expansion and evolution for the Menil Collection by Daniel Renfrow After completing her undergraduate degree at Smith College in 1988, a young Rebecca Rabinow spent the summer volunteering at the then newly opened Menil Collection helping to preserve the correspondence of John and Dominique de Menil by putting them into plastic sleeves. While perusing the letters she was helping preserve – she couldn’t help herself – the future curator had an eureka moment about art that forever changed the trajectory of her life. “I was hooked,” she says of the work she was doing, which allowed her to read letters by famous artists about their works and get an inside look into how the Menil Collection was assembled. “That was perhaps my first realization that any work of art has a life larger than itself and larger than the people who collect it. For really great works of art – the masterpieces – whoever owns them now is just a chapter in their histories.” Now, after 26 years in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she was curator of both Modern art and the nascent Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Art which she helped found, the curator-pro is back in her native Houston as the new director of the Menil Collection.

Rabinow takes over the museum at a pivotal point in its history. In addition to celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the museum will also be celebrating the opening of the $40 million dollar Menil Drawing Institute this October. The institute, which will be housed in a sleek modern building designed by Los Angeles-based design firm Johnston Marklee, will be the first free-standing institution in the U.S. devoted solely to the exhibition, study, conservation and storage of works on paper. The institute’s inaugural exhibition will be composed of a collection of drawings by esteemed American abstract expressionist painter Jasper Johns that trace the chronology of his career and his recurrent use of images. As she takes on the mantle of shepherding the museum through this new era of expansion and evolution, Rabinow says she wants to make sure she’s always guiding the museum by the principles of its founders.

Mark Rothko American, born in Russia, 1903 - 1970 Untitled, 1967 ©1998 Kate Rothko Prizel & Christopher Rothko / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York

“I came because the Menil is an incredibly special place,” she says, noting that she wasn’t even looking for a new job when she interviewed for the position – she was very happy at the Met and just wanted to speak to the search committee about what the Menil meant to her – but the allure of the position and her love for the museum’s core philosophy won her over in the end. “I can’t think of any other museum in the United States, or maybe even in Europe, where it is entirely free to the public. That’s an integral part of the Menil’s DNA, this idea that we all should have the right to live with art. That can change our lives in small ways or in big ways.”

“The guiding principle behind John and Dominique was that everyone should have the ability and luxury of having the arts be a part of their lives,” she says. “And that’s a mission that we take very seriously.”

And in spite all of those years she spent away from home in New York City, Rabinow says she’s adjusting fast to being back in Houston and finds herself reveling in the city’s underappreciated, eclectic mystique. “I love it here,” she says, noting that Houston has become quirkier and more art-focused than she remembered it to be. “Houston is poised to be a major culture capital and people who don’t see that haven’t been here for a while.”

She is an immigrant, a transplant who brought with her an ambition to leave the city more prosperous, and more powerful, than when she found it.


Renu Khator is shaping the university Houston needs

Renu Khator, the Chancellor of the University of Houston System and President of the University of Houston, didn’t know much about Houston when she moved here in 2008. Taking her advanced degrees from Purdue University in Indiana and serving for 22 years as Provost and Senior Vice President of the University of South Florida in Tampa, she was unfamiliar with the quirks of what she describes as Houston’s “curious mixture.” As she and her husband, Suresh, considered a move to the city, there was some trepidation. “The traffic and sheer size were a little intimidating at first,” she says. “But Houstonians are so friendly and embracing, we felt at home almost immediately.”

And this has, in turn, impacted the city. “When I first arrived, I asked the public and community leaders what they wanted from UH and the response was, ‘We need a nationally recognized public university,’” she says. “Earning Tier One status, acquiring a Phi Beta Kappa chapter, developing a competitive athletics program, increasing student residence on campus, adding several state-of-the-art buildings, enhancing our faculty and significantly upgrading our research capacity – that has all been done to become the kind of university Houston needs.”

Khator recognizes that Houston’s needs are many. “We face the basic challenges any major metropolis does – providing an acceptable level of public services It should be no surprise that to an increasing population Khator took to Houston, as and expanding municipality; Houston has taken to her.

“I love living in Houston,” she says. She talks about the city with as much enthusiasm as her work. “We have everything — great food, the arts, sports, real people, a community.”

janet gurwitch

is building global brands from Houston by Carly Curren

Headed toward the apex of her career, Janet Gurwitch noticed a fashion trend gaining traction in the beauty market. At 42 she was leading a glamorous life on the front row of fashion shows in New York, London and Paris. She knew most heads of department stores in the United States and major cities around the world. Janet’s position as Executive Vice President at Neiman Marcus was, by the admission of the owners, a final link in the very elegant chain leading to a position as the first woman CEO.

partner, Janet put up all of her own money to get Laura Mercier up and running. But in the end it wasn’t enough. She approached Neiman Marcus, this time for an entree to Wall Street, but Nieman’s owners wanted to invest. The stipulation was a 51% stake in Laura Mercier. It would be a regret, Janet explains, if there had been another option at the time. When two private equity firms bought Neiman Marcus in 2005, the new owners sold Laura Mercier to Alticor.

Janet grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a long way from the runways of international airports or global haute couture. After studying retail at the University of Alabama, she moved to Houston for a job at Foley’s. “I learned everything about planning a business there,” she recalls over a bottle of water in her River Oaks living room.

Janet’s next career move followed the natural convergence of her background in global retail and entrepreneurship. She joined Castanea, a private equity firm started by the family that originally owned Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, as a partner. Their first major acquisition together was Urban Decay, which sold to L’oreal three years later. Janet was hooked. “This way I get to have my thumbprint on a brand and influence its direction, but I’m not the CEO.” They’ve since invested in DryBar and First Aid Beauty.

Janet excelled as a buyer for Foley’s. And it was there, passed up for a promotion, that she learned the importance of interoffice politics. “I wasn’t in the boss’ office enough. I thought if I beat my plan, the numbers spoke for themselves.” It obviously didn’t take her long to improve her political savvy. Dallas-based Neiman Marcus recruited Janet for a position as Executive Vice President of merchandising where she was plunged into the global luxury market.

On her own, Janet invested in Dollar Shave Club, helping the founder start a mens grooming brand. The company recently sold to Unilever for $1 billion. Janet currently works with Mimibox – a Korean beauty brand, and she invested in Sugarfina – a chain of high-end candy stores coming soon to Houston.

“Houston has a great entrepreneurial One luxury brand, Armani, was leading atmosphere,” she says. “People are fashion trends with a neutral color palette, As an entrepreneur who struggled to find and Bobbi Brown followed suit in cosmetics. funds for her first company, Janet now invests eager to give you their time When Neiman Marcus started carrying Bobbi in and guides young companies through and advice.

Influential Women

of Houston

Jennifer Dominiquini

BBVA Compass Bank

Chief Marketing and Client Experience Officer

“You have to work to your unique strengths and to do that you have to find out what those strengths are — you need to know your story and how to tell it. You also need to be a little fearless, to put aside your fears, to be willing to challenge that status quo — to stand up, speak out and ask for what you want.”


Jennifer Dominiquini is banking on Houston’s authenticity

“It was a real bucket list experience,” says Jennifer Dominiquini, 45, referring to the 500-mile bike ride from St. Paul, Minnesota to Chicago she did last summer as part of a fundraiser for “Pursuit for Those With Disabilities.” For her part, Dominiquini, who serves as the Chief Marketing and Digital Sales Officer at BBVA Compass bank, raised a bit more than $20,000 – a drop in the nearly $13.5 million that was raised overall, but she feels it was an important contribution for her to make personally. “Sometimes, we marketers have a great message that we ourselves don’t embody, so there I was promoting this ride and thought to myself it was time for me step up and deliver. And in the end, it turned into the ride of a lifetime for me!” Today, Dominiquini says she’d like to do more cycling, but is limited to riding at the gym. “We’re just doing so many things at the bank, it has me very busy,” she says.

Dominiquini was herself mentored by some of the godfathers of business innovation and management strategy, including Michael Porter and Gary Hamill, so after she returned to the US and took an MBA at the University of Chicago, she became a board member of the University of Chicago’s Women in Business group for several years. “I think it is important for anyone in business, man or woman, to have support. One thing I realized over my many years in business is that you cannot do it all on your own.”

Every organization that is successful values innovation. But it all starts with people.

Dominiquini isn’t exaggerating. Since she arrived in Houston a little more than two years ago from Chicago, where she previously worked with Evite and Sears among other companies, she’s been a whirlwind of activity: there was Dominiquini serving as the face of BBVA during Super Bowl weekend, working with the 10,000 volunteers the bank brought together, there she is again, cooking meals with Chef Jordi Roca of Spain’s El Celler de Can Roca – No. 1 on Restaurant magazine’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants list – for the Food Bank in New York City, and yet again, posing with stars like James Harden at the NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, in support of BBVA’s Bright Futures program. Raised in the New York suburbs, Dominiquini attended college in Pennsylvania, before a Fulbright Scholarship took her to Uruguay. She then spent nearly a decade in South America – in Columbia, Ecuador and Brazil – where she worked on innovation and branding programs for a variety of top firms. “This was well before the word ‘innovation’ became something of a business cliche,” she says. “And one thing I learned is that every organization that is successful values innovation. But it all starts with people.”

by Edward Nawotka

“Women today have every opportunity to advance themselves in business,” she says. “But you have to work to your unique strengths and to do that you have to find out what those strengths are – you need to know your story and how to tell it. You also need to be a little fearless, to put aside your fears, to be willing to challenge that status quo – to stand up, speak out and ask for what you want.”

For women (and, well, men too), she recommends putting together what her friend has dubbed a “girl gang.” She explains: “These are people that you trust, people who challenge you personally and in your career, the people who can stretch you and push you to the next level and support you in ways you cannot support yourself.” In this regard, she’s a big fan of actress and comedienne Amy Poehler’s organization Smart Girls, which offers a support network for teenage girls to “cultivate their authentic selves.” And this respect for authenticity is something she appreciates in Houston as well. “Houston is one of those places that not a lot of people know a lot about, but I am always telling people you don’t know what you don’t know about the city. When I got here I realized it was the people who make it special. The people in Houston are genuinely nice and open and warm. It’s a real community.” And so it appears that Dominiquini – a die hard Chicago Cubs fan – feels right at home, both here in Houston and at BBVA. BBVA’s philosophy is expressed simply as “Live Right” and it’s a principle which Dominiquini adheres to herself. “I always encourage people to bring positivity to their interactions. With positivity you can make things happen.”

aprada Landing’s rich narrative begins in 1824 when David Randon and Isaac Pennington acquired land from Stephen F. Austin, joining the prominent group of Texas’ first settlers – the Old Three Hundred. Randon further etched his name in the Lone Star State’s history when he advocated for Texas independence following the 1835 battle of Gonzales.
