| High-Rise Living |
As expansive as the Houston region is, many residents choose to live the high-rise lifestyle in one of the city’s high-density urban areas. To meet this need, Houston delivers with an amazing array of high-rise towers with upscale residences for rent or purchase with chic amenities that will please even the most discerning person. Take a look at Houston’s well-established, new and soon-to-come high-rise living options.
DOWNTOWN HOUSTON
In the past decade, Downtown Houston has experienced a revitalization of Renaissance proportions, particularly in the central business district and the historic area around Market Square Park. Due to wonderful civic enhancements of public green spaces like Discovery Green, mixed-use centers like GreenStreet and vast improvements to public transportation with the METRORail and an eco-friendly bus service, Downtown Houston has solidified its standing as a desirable place to live and work in the Bayou City. Particularly true in the historic district, many iconic buildings that tell the story of the city’s evolution have been and are being refurbished and transformed into relevant retail, dining and entertainment spaces as well as upscale residences that honor the significance of their past incarnations. Following are some of the most notable high-rise residences both already on the scene and new to the area.
A new property in Downtown Houston’s central business district, The Catalyst Houston offers easy walkability to Minute Maid Park, Discovery Green and the light rail. A combination of luxury high-rise apartments in its 28-story tower and mid-rise apartments in four stories above the residential parking garage, The Catalyst has an array of one-, two- and three-bedroom units as well as penthouses on the top two high-rise floors that cater to Houston’s elite and feature exclusive access to a private club and parking garage. The modern design of the units offers 13-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows, glass balconies and terraces as well as hardwood flooring, quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Rental prices begin at $1,640 for a 600-square-foot one-bedroom and more than $5,000 for a three-bedroom unit at 1,800 square feet. All residents enjoy The Catalyst’s concierge services, a fitness and yoga studio and outdoor yoga lawn, guest suites, conference rooms, a resort-style infinity-edge pool, an outdoor lounge with panoramic views into Minute Maid Park, a game lawn with beach volleyball court and fire pit, a dog park and pet-friendly amenities on the seventh floor. Moreover, the Sky Club on the 26th floor features a Club Kitchen with spectacular views of Downtown Houston, and the exclusive Ballpark Club Room on 28th floor has an exterior terrace for penthouse residents to watch Astros games. At ground level, the property also has more than 6,800 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
An elegant alternative to downtown loft living, Commerce Towers offers sophisticated, fully finished condominiums in a central Downtown Houston location right on the light rail. The units feature 11- and 18-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, sound-insulated walls, Northwind® HVAC system and high-speed Fiber Optic Internet connections, but unlike many modern “cookie cutter” condominiums, Commerce Towers offers more than 50 floor plans—from one- and two-bedrooms and some two-story units to custom-designed tri-level penthouse suites with rooftop terraces—each with unique architectural features and benefits. Complementing the spacious living and strategic location of Commerce Towers are its range of upscale services, including two private residential lobbies, 24-hour concierge and valet with car washing service, porter and dry-cleaning service, climate-controlled storage spaces, a private-access parking garage and guest parking, a fully equipped fitness center, a conference room, a private party facility with a kitchen, a media room and a rooftop heated swimming pool and Jack Nicklaus–designed putting green.
More than just a prestigious hotel, the Four Seasons in Downtown Houston offers a select number of for-sale condominiums in the Four Seasons Residences on Floors 21 to 25. Built in 1982, the Four Seasons is adjacent to Discovery Green and close to the METRORail, the George R. Brown Convention Center, the Toyota Center and all that downtown has to offer. The Four Seasons Residences high-rise residential condos are great for extended stays and permanent residency with around-the-clock personal service and state-of-the-art amenities. In addition to its prime Downtown Houston location, the Four Seasons Residences has complimentary house car transport, full kitchens with dining areas, spacious living and dining rooms for lounging or entertaining, oversized closets, reduced-rate valet and 24-hour access to all of the hotel’s amenities, including twice-daily housekeeping, a variety of dining options, same-day laundry services, complimentary high-speed Internet, a luxurious spa and state-of-the-art fitness center, a resort-style pool, a business center and custom pet services.
Occupying half a city block at the corner of Travis and Preston in Downtown Houston’s historic district, Hines Market Square offers residents access to an extensive selection of restaurants, bars and clubs. Overlooking Market Square, Houston’s first urban park, the 32-story tower offers residents the luxury and convenience of a five-star hotel. The tower has 274 residences sitting atop an eight-story enclosed garage podium. The ground level of the building accommodates retail space, a residential lobby and a pocket park available for outdoor dining. On Level 9 above the garage podium is an outdoor pool terrace with dramatic city views as well as a fitness center, club room with gourmet kitchen and a WiFi lounge. The building also has a welcoming porch for outdoor dining that echoes the pedestrian activity at the street level while the top of the building is illuminated at night to emphasize it as a new landmark building on the northern edge of Downtown Houston.
