    THE LAP OF LUXURY

    Butlers and skyline views slated for new Houston luxury high-rise

    Butlers and skyline views slated for new Houston luxury high-rise

    It's been nearly a year since Houston-based commercial real estate firm Satya and CEO Sunny Bathija announced an exciting new addition to the Houston luxury residential market with a familiar brand attached: St. Regis. Now, new renderings are providing a peek of life at St. Regis Residences, Houston, the 37-story condominium tower coming to Memorial Drive and Buffalo Bayou.

    This is the first St. Regis Residences not only in Houston, but in all of Texas — and it’s sure to make a splash.

    “We are introducing Houstonians to a transformative lifestyle with incomparable experiences created for connoisseurs of the art of living,” Bathija said

    Located near Memorial Park at 102 Asbury Street, the luxurious residential building will have 93 units with living spaces ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet. Buyers can select from various floor plans, including one-bedroom units. For those seeking larger, more opulent living spaces, the tower offers five penthouses, three duplex penthouses, and two sub-penthouses, ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 square feet. Pricing for these luxurious homes begins at $2.4 million, with residences starting on the 10th floor.

    ForrestPerkins, a Dallas-based design firm, promises to deliver high-end, bespoke interiors that exude warmth and sophistication.

    “We have taken inspiration from Houston’s rich oil history with the use of rich bronze and gold colors representing both luxury and industry,” Colletta Conner, managing principal at ForrestPerkins, said in a statement. “Our vision for the project is to create a place that feels like home from the moment a resident pulls up to the building.”

    The exterior design’s striking, glass-centric façade will maximize natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows. Designed by architecture firm Pickard Chilton, the building’s facade was influenced by the neighboring Buffalo Bayou.

    "The tower's form echos the flow of water, with ripples along the facade that pull back to reveal terraces with unobstructed views,” Adrienne Nelson, design principal at Pickard Chilton, said.

    Set on a secured 3.8-acre lot, the property entrance will feature a tree-lined driveway and a porte-cochere crafted from natural stone. KW Landscape Architects is spearheading the outdoor design, which includes a private owners' entrance with direct access to the future project extending the Buffalo Bayou Trail toward Memorial Park. The central location enables residents to be within walking distance of other places of interest, such as the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens.

    It might be difficult to find a reason to leave the St. Regis Residences, Houston with its more than 40,000 square feet dedicated to indoor and outdoor private amenities. Among the most notable is access to the renowned St. Regis Butler Service, which will deliver personalized services to owners ranging from organizing events to arranging pet care.

    Residents can cancel their gym membership and take advantage of the building’s lap pool, steam rooms, saunas, fitness studio, dedicated training space, yoga and movement studio, and St. Regis-branded bicycles.

    Outdoor spaces will include a meditation garden, a yoga lawn, and a dog run and park. A dedicated children’s activity center, gaming lounge, theater, and event space will offer entertainment for all ages, while the Cognac Bar and Astor Room on the 26th floor will provide a refined dining experience in homage to the St. Regis founding family.

    Additional perks include co-working spaces, two guest suites, and full-building backup generators—an invaluable feature in Houston.

    Houstonians will be able to live in luxury at the St. Regis Residences, Houston, which breaks ground in 2025.

    The tower is expected to break ground in 2025, with a projected construction timeline of 30 months. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is handling exclusive sales and marketing, with reservations having officially opened on October 23.

    One point of clarification: St. Regis Residences, Houston, is neither owned nor developed by Marriott International or Marriott, but rather SR Luxury Condominium, LTD. It has licensed the St. Regis marks from Marriott for the project.

    Houston nails down No. 8 spot among fastest-moving luxury home markets

    11095 Memorial Drive is for sale for $8.8 million.

    For-sale signs on the lawns of luxury homes in Houston-area communities like Bellaire, River Oaks, West University Place, and The Woodlands are disappearing faster than in most U.S. markets.

    November’s Realtor.com Luxury Housing Report shows luxury homes in the Houston metro area spent a median 61 days on the market in November, up 3.4 percent from last November. That puts the Houston metro in eighth place among the country’s fastest-moving luxury home markets.

    Asking prices for Houston-area listings among top-tier luxury homes started at $794,576 in November, according to the Realtor.com report.

    The Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) says stepped-up activity in the luxury home market helped boost the average single-family home price in the area to $422,552 in November. The luxury market — homes priced at $1 million and above — was the region’s top-performing home category in November, according to HAR, with sales up 23.4 percent compared with the same time in 2024.

    The Realtor.com report ranks San Jose, California, as the fastest-moving metro for luxury home sales in November. There, luxury homes spent a median 56 days on the market, down 6.7 percent from last November.

    “Luxury home dynamics are increasingly driven by local factors rather than national trends,” Antony Smith, senior economist at Realtor.com, says in a release. “Some high-cost metros are experiencing brisk demand and fast turnover, while others face slower sales even at elevated price points. Understanding these local dynamics is key for both buyers and sellers in today's luxury market.”

    Roughly 200 miles west of Houston, the San Antonio metro lands on Realtor.com’s list of the country’s slowest-moving markets for luxury homes. San Antonio-area luxury homes lingered on the market for 99 days in November, up seven percent from the same time last year. That gave San Antonio eighth place on the list of the country’s slowest-moving luxury home markets.

    Asking prices for San Antonio-area listings among top-tier luxury homes started at $766,548 in November, according to the report.

    In November, 5.6 percent of home prices fell into the $750,000-and-above category, according to the San Antonio Board of Realtors (SABOR).

    Bend, Oregon, tops Realtor.com’s list of the slow-moving markets for luxury homes. In the Bend metro area, luxury homes were stuck on the market for a median 146 days in November, up 14.1 percent from the same period in 2024.
