 I'm always excited to hear when real estate developments are taking advantage of the latest technologies available. The Mosaic at Hermann Park is doing just that. They have decided to adopt and become a "Certified Fiber Optic Development" through Connexion Technologies. Basically fiber optic has unlimited bandwidth, therefore further enhancing the entertainment and communication services we are all growing accustomed to. Can you imagine data being sent at the speed of light?
“Being a Certified Fiber-Optic Development brings Mosaic to a whole new level of excellence,” said Don Phillips, Phillips Development. “Some people have to see excellence to believe it. Now we’ve got the certification to prove it.”
Fiber Optic is better than Cable or DSL. Mind you that most consumers will probably not know what this means, though it does lay an excellent foundation for future technology developments.
The prices at the Mosaic at Hermann park start in the high $200's, but my clients have been seeing tremendous appreciation on their units before they are even complete. I've included some images from the Mosaic here for your viewing pleasure.
The Mosaic at Hermann Park is located along Highway 288 south of Downtown Houston and Old Spanish Trail. View this Google map to get the exact location, satellite images, and driving directions.
Thanks goes out to Jimmy Edwards, sales consultant at the Mosaic at Hermann Park, for providing the above photos.Readers have left 3 comments. (1)2008-10-09 21:34:43 The Mosaic is a beautiful building but they can not get it together. I’ve been looking at real estate here in Houston for some time and have visited every building.
What worried me most regarding the mosaic is the size of it. No building has ever sold 800 units. The developers did a nice job, not a spectacular, but nice job on the amenities. The inside of the apartments are fair at best. The cabinets are of the cheapest variety and the construction is apartment grade at best. The developer did a horrible job and at 325-350 a foot I can see why they are stuck with an absorbent amount of inventory.
I spoke with a gentleman names Jack and he explained how the building was originally apartments but they decided to make it condos. He agreed the condos fell short of expectations, but the amenities make up for it and some how justify the price point.
Well this Jack is obviously a politician and knows nothing about real estate. His condescending tone gave me the feeling he was running for office and not trying to help me make a decision on whether I wanted to buy a condo, and the sales team told me more about their prior success then this one. I did find out that tower two is going rental and that the developer has leased units in tower one that were NOT owed by investors.
Unfortunately Mosaic is in a bad location at a ridiculous price. Cavit Emptor.
