Hotels have been on a roll with debuting residential properties and now, The Ritz-Carlton has unveiled plans for its very first standalone residences in Texas.

Howard Hughes has teamed up with The Ritz-Carlton to open Texas’s first luxury branded development without a resort attached. The forthcoming tower, which will be designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, will sit roughly 27 miles outside of downtown Houston within The Woodlands, Howard Hughes’s 28,500-acre master-planned community. While there’s no expected date for completion just yet, construction is slated to get underway next spring.

The Ritz-Carlton is building its first free-standing branded residences in Texas within The Woodlands community.

Spread across eight acres, the homesite will offer a limited collection of residences that are inspired by the iconic estates of The Lone Star State. Expect to find high-end finishes, spacious living areas, and bespoke furnishings. In addition to the condos, The Ritz-Carlton, The Woodlands will also feature an on-site restaurant and a far-ranging array of swanky, hotel-like amenities.

“We strive to be meticulous in our craft and have developed a reputation for our modern interpretations of traditional building styles and projects that use time-honored materials, which will be on display throughout The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Woodlands,” says Stern, founder and senior partner of Robert A.M. Stern Architects. “The project exudes sophistication, and each residence has been laid out like a grand estate with separate areas for formal and informal occasions, providing residents with the ideal backdrop for modern living.”

Of course, the foresty enclave sports a ton of perks from retail shops and culinary attractions to entertainment offerings and a whopping 28 percent of greenspace. Previously, The Woodlands was voted the No. 1 Best Community to Live in America by Niche in 2021 and 2022.

Prices for the residences have not been released, but they are expected to set a record for The Woodlands area.
