The company launched three new developments in the area this year.
Houston-based real estate developer and builder Surge Homes was recognized as Developer of the Year by Houston Agent Magazine’s 2016 Houston Agents’ Choice Awards. Although its management team has decades of experience in the new home industry, the company made its Houston debut in 2014 and revolutionized the Inner Loop housing market by building innovative developments in sought-after neighborhoods at unmatched price points. Immediately after sales began for its new homes in 2016, Surge Homes became the fastest-selling new home builder in its market.
“We began purchasing land in Houston’s Inner Loop in 2000 and our vision was that home buyers of all ages would embrace the newer, more dense developments and homes with a smaller footprint in prime, walkable neighborhoods," Ben Lemieux, co-owner of Surge Homes, told Houston Agent Magazine. "Today, our dream is becoming reality and we are selling faster than we can build. We owe thanks to Houston’s real estate community for understanding our vision early on and helping us to succeed in making homeownership possible for many Houstonians.”
In 2016, Surge Homes launched three new developments in Upper Kirby, Midtown and the Museum District at pricing not seen elsewhere in these neighborhoods. With their Parc at Midtown development, they became the first developer to bring tiny condos (also called micro condos) to Houston that will deliver in September 2017. Additionally, Parc at Midtown boasts the only exclusive park for its residents, six of whom will be lucky enough to own townhomes with private yards immediately adjacent to the park. Also part of this development is the concept of two-story condominiums.
Parc at Midtown is a $22 million, 80-home development featuring condos, penthouses and townhomes. Ninety percent of condos sold in eight months and the first townhomes will deliver in March 2017. Upper Richton, in the Upper Kirby District, is an $8.2 million, 13-home community comprising nine single-family homes and four attached townhomes, which sold 55 percent of its inventory in eight days. Beginning of delivery is also planned for March 2017. Museum BLVD is an $11 million, 49-home, mid-rise condo development located in the Museum District. In only four months, 72 VIP reservations with earnest money have been made.
Surge Homes also premiered its design collection of 70 European-inspired, interior design packages for kitchens and bathrooms. An unprecedented number, these professionally coordinated packages include selections for flooring, cabinetry, backsplashes, countertops and wall tiles. To innovate and build what future homeowners really want, Surge Homes deployed a unique crowdsourcing process involving 3,400 potential home buyers.
