One graceful structure with three 28-floor towers, each with two high-speed elevators, The Houstonian Estates rises high above the towering oaks of the Uptown/Galleria area. As such, no more than two of the 143 homes are on each floor, so residents get southeast views of the city and northwest views of natural woodland from two private balconies. Residences range from 1,560 to 5,100 square feet and include two deeded parking spaces while each penthouse has four, and most have climate-controlled storage as well. Distinguishing The Houstonian Estates from other high-rises is its complete staff of trustworthy and reliable valets, engineers and housekeepers that have a combined 600 years of in-house experience. The staff works to find solutions to any challenge residents may have and even delivers “room service” from the world-class The Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa. Throughout the building and grounds, security cameras provide constant surveillance, and all doors feature controlled access. Surrounding the building are three acres of lush gardens with a variety of plants, including manicured flower beds and natural indigenous foliage, which are interwoven with clay and gravel walkways and benches for peaceful strolls and time for relaxing in nature. First-floor amenities include a glass-walled inner lobby that opens to a terrace surrounded by gardens, a year-round heated 110-foot lap pool and a Jacuzzi. Near the pool area are two commercial grills in flagstone with a stainless-steel chef’s island and outdoor fire-pit. The Garden Room party facility accommodates up to 75 and has full audiovisual capabilities, a full kitchen and two gas grills located nearby while a smaller conference room sits up to eight. Furry residents enjoy a fully fenced leash-free zone for recreation while a library off the main lobby offers an additional area for privacy and relaxation. The complex also offers workout room, tennis courts, dry sauna, basketball court, putting green and driving cage and much more.
