Introduction to Luxury Living
After strong initial sales of over $250 million, Howard Hughes has decided to pause sales on the highly anticipated Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands until the project is completed in 2026 or 2027. The remaining unsold units will be put on the market once construction is finished. According to Jim Carman, president of the Houston region for developer Howard Hughes, "We basically pulled the majority of the units that are still available off the market… We think that this is such an amazing, dynamic project. It’s really never been built in this region."
A Unique Project
The 111-unit Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands is expected to break ground this summer, with a two-year build projected from there. The New York-based RAMSA architects, notably Paul Whalen and Johnny Cruz, are taking full advantage of the property’s unique placement on Lake Woodlands in the design of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands. "This is a once in a lifetime project on a once in a lifetime site and deserved the type of design that the heavyweight of architecture brought and couldn’t be more pleased with what they’ve done," Carman says.
Design and Features
The building is designed to mold to the shape of the site and take advantage of the views of the lake, with every single unit having lake views. The architects also studied Texas and Houston architecture and brought all that together to create this masterpiece. The units will feature luxury finishes, including private garages, wine fridges, and a wine room for additional wine storage. The sales office for Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands already gives potential buyers a good look at what’s to come, with finish selections, a model kitchen, and a bath.
Attracting New Residents
The new residents are attracting Texans who haven’t had anything close to this type of ultra-luxurious enclave in The Woodlands before. "The majority of the buyers of this project are Woodlands residents," Carman notes. "They had limited options on where they could go in The Woodlands. And so we wanted to provide a product that continues to meet the demand of the people that live here." The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands will be just across Lake Woodlands from the shopping center anchored by Whole Foods and Postino’s, near the restaurants of Hughes Landing.
Amenities and Services
The project will also feature a fitness center with views of Lake Woodlands, a hot tub, and a private garage for each unit. The first Jean-Georges restaurant in Texas will be located on site, with its own valet area and open to the public. The idea is that when the project is completed, it will be something new to Texas and The Woodlands, bringing plenty of wows.
Conclusion
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands is a unique and luxurious project that is set to bring a new level of living to the area. With its stunning design, luxury features, and prime location, it’s no wonder that sales have been strong. Once completed, the project is expected to be a game-changer for the community, offering a new and exciting option for those looking for a luxurious lifestyle.
