Gables Residential Brings Mixed-Use to Tanglewood

Atlanta-based Gables Residential recently hired Ziegler Cooper Architects to create an upscale mixed-use development located in the prestigious Tanglewood area, just west of Houston’s Galleria. The 8-story, 316 unit, concrete frame building will include a spectacular rooftop pool terrace, club room and outdoor living with views of the Galleria and Uptown. Other amenities include: lounge, dining room, theatre, fitness, outdoor kitchen and living room. A courtyard, the new home for an old oak tree that will be transplanted from the existing site, will also connect both retail and parking.

“The Gables Tanglewood mixed-use Bering development brings a vibrant urban life style option to the Tanglewood area. We have designed the building to include café’s and coffee shops at the ground level with six floors of apartments above” says R. Scott Ziegler.

The design carefully integrates a detailed brick and masonry facade, acknowledging the soft pastel color palette of the surrounding Mediterranean heritage of Tanglewood. Bering will break ground in November 2011 adding 301,801 s.f. of luxury apartment living and 22,000 s.f. of boutique retail to activate the street scene of this upscale urban development. The estimated completion date is May 2013.
