| INWOOD MANOR | Houston, Texas
Inwood Manor is an existing 17-story condominium building in the heart of River Oaks. Built in 1963, much of the building’s original
infrastructure remains intact, requiring extensive updates from top to bottom. m Strategic Partners was engaged in 2015 to assist the
Board of Director’s in prioritizing a list of needed upgrades through facility assessments. There are currently 6 phases and counting
which include:
• Installation of fire sprinklers on the ground floor in the building’s lobby and common areas and upgrading elevators with a new
drive system, rails, and controls.
• Installation of new chilled water and hot water risers in a new central location with horizontal distribution added on each level
in the public corridors, as well as new PEX distribution piping in the condominium units and replacement of all condominium
air handling units.
• Replacement of the existing wooden cooling tower with a new stainless steel cooling tower
• Roof replacement and Level 16 penthouse curtain wall
• Upgrade of electrical infrastructure that includes a partnership with CenterPoint Energy for a new service transformer,
installation of new primary and secondary switchgear and replacement of the existing emergency generator
• ALL while the building is occupied with Owner/Residents
