The first art acquisitions for the high-rise have been made, and they are museum enviable, exceptional pieces. The artworks were procured at two of the biggest art fairs around the world: Art Basel Miami Beach and the Untitled fair. Both fairs attract top art collectors from around the world.

The building itself has been redesigned as one of the premier addresses for high-rises around Houston. The sensational penthouses top out at $13 million for 13,000 square foot unit.

Many of The River Oaks’ [future] residents are art collectors in their own right, savvy when it comes to artwork selections. It is important that the pieces going into the common areas are well-chosen.”
