A rendering of the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Houston which will soar 605 feet above the Uptown skyline.
A penthouse priced above $30 million would set a new bar for Houston real estate, and that's exactly what developers behind the city's new Ritz-Carlton condo-hotel are aiming for.
This week, the team released new renderings, pricing details and a construction timeline for the 45-story Uptown tower after months of quiet pre-sales.
The tower won't just reshape the Galleria-area skyline. It's a big bet on Houston's appetite for ultra-luxury high-rise living. Step inside the invite-only sales center and see the latest plans here.
