The iconic, 33-story tower's residents do not know when they'll be able to return. They were evacuated in the middle of the night Thursday.
The Royalton at River Oaks is a well-known landmark that towers over Allen Parkway. The high-rise, though, is experiencing problems, which have forced residents out without knowing how long they'll be away from home.A well-known luxury high-rise had to be evacuated amid possible structural issues, with no timeline for residents to return.
Video obtained by ABC13 shows residents evacuating on Thursday evening in ankle deep water through the lobby. Other residents describe water pouring through elevator shafts. Images of sweaty and frustrated condo owners hauling out their possessions are a far different scene than the glamorous penthouse tour ABC13 got from a realtor a few years ago. Units in the Royalton sell anywhere from $400,000 to over $1.2 million, depending on the size and location. However, several realtors pulled their active listings after the evacuation.
