A towering new spec mansion tucked behind an eight-foot stone wall in Bayou Woods has landed a buyer, and he is not your average house hunter. A local architect has purchased the newly constructed estate at 9010 Memorial Drive, a roughly 12,145-square-foot spread with six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms on about an acre. The developer had been asking $10.5 million, and public records show the buyer is a Houston architect, although the final sales price has not been disclosed.
Levant Luxury sold 9010 Memorial Drive to Dan and Susan Boggio, according to The Real Deal. The outlet reports the seller had been asking $10.5 million, about $864 per square foot, but did not list a closing number. Compass agent Nasseim Saad told The Real Deal that “Bayou Woods is a very prominent neighborhood. The elite of Houston live inside of this small pocket.”
What is inside the house
Listing materials show the 2025-built home has an open plan anchored by a dramatic grand room, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a dedicated wine room and a fully equipped gym. The main-floor primary suite includes dual oversized dressing rooms, upstairs terraces look over a resort-style pool and the property offers a four-car garage, according to the Houston Association of REALTORS® listing on HAR.
Buyer is a prominent local architect
Buyer Dan Boggio is a licensed architect who serves as the executive chairman of PBK Architects, according to PBK. His purchase highlights how close-in Memorial, and secluded pockets like Bayou Woods, continue to attract some of Houston’s biggest spenders.
