St George Place

St George Place is a peaceful enclave located in the shadow of the Galleria. This innerloop neighborhood is located south of West Alabama, north of Richmond, East of S Rice, and west of Chimney Rock.

St George Place owes its name and its élan to Robert Silvers. In 1989 Mr. Silvers bought 107 lots in Lamar Terrace from the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation. Mr. Silvers tore down many of the homes, and petitioned City Council to rebuild the neighborhood. With a new name St George Place, and a plan. Mr. Silvers was awarded the city’s first tax-increment reinvestment zone.

The area has been transformed by the addition of new streets, lighting, and a new elementary school. Spectacular two story homes featuring designs from Houston’s best architects dominate the subdivision. The style of homes focuses on Mediterranean style, French Country Custom, Spanish, and occassionally a traditional home.
