Introduction to Luxury Living
One of the most ambitious projects in The Woodlands’ recent history is underway. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands, a new luxury condominium project designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, has broken ground. This project aims to provide a personalized and intimate residential experience, setting a new standard for luxury living in Texas.
A New Standard for Luxury
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands, is situated on the last large-scale residential site available on Lake Woodlands. According to Howard Hughes CEO David O’Reilly, "The project commenced its long-awaited pre-sales in late March and closed that first quarter with more than half of its residences pre-sold at prices per square foot never seen in the Houston market." Since then, sales have continued at a solid pace, setting all-time highs for the region.
Design and Architecture
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands, is designed to resemble a grand Texas estate, with generous spaces balanced by more intimate areas. The development is influenced by the work of renowned architect John Staub, who built 31 River Oaks mansions in addition to multiple notable buildings at Rice University and throughout Houston. Robert A.M. Stern Architects partner Paul Whalen notes, "Being on the water is spectacular, and we’ve designed this building so that it is all about the water. Everybody gets to view that water."
Amenities and Features
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands, will feature approximately 15,000 square feet of indoor wellness facilities, complemented by three acres of outdoor amenities, including approximately 1,200 feet of lakefront shoreline for the private use and enjoyment of owners. The outdoor amenities will include pickleball courts and a boathouse, which Whalen describes as "another symbol of community and a symbol of connection to the landscape."
Sales and Completion
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands, now has 69 percent of its homes pre-sold, according to Howard Hughes. The build is expected to take about two years to complete. Private sales appointments are available in the project’s sales gallery located at Howard Hughes’ headquarters in The Woodlands. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the exclusive sales firm for Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands.
Conclusion
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands, is a game-changer for luxury living in Texas. With its stunning design, luxurious amenities, and prime location on Lake Woodlands, this project is sure to set a new standard for high-end living. As the project nears completion, it will be exciting to see how it transforms the landscape of The Woodlands and sets a new benchmark for luxury residences in the region.
