As seen on Houston Chronicle: An urban village designed to be a top culinary destination takes shape across from Buffalo Bayou Park.

The first two apartment buildings have opened at Autry Park, a development of Houston-based Hanover Co. and Lionstone Investments, a Houston-based real estate investment firm, on 14 acres along Allen Parkway, just east of Shepherd Drive on the edge of River Oaks. Up to six additional buildings, including two apartment two or three office buildings and a hotel are planned in future phases.

Since January, the first residents have been moving in at Hanover Autry Park, a 24-story apartment tower with 324 units, and Hanover Parkview, an eight-story mid-rise with 421 units. The developers are still building out spaces for 20 shops and restaurants, each designed with a unique look, on the ground floors. Openings are projected to begin in late fall or early in the holiday season.

Work is still under way on amenities near the top of the tower, including a gym, resident lounge and rooftop pool. Other amenities include a dog park, dog washing salon, valet parking, an area to drop off dry cleaning and a room for secure package deliveries. The valet area, located within the apartment tower, has a television and couches for residents and retail guests. Hanover Parkview’s amenities include a movie room, clubhouse with catering kitchen, coworking lounge, pet spa, resort style pool and gym.
