CONDO LIFE

Condo penthouse living comes with excellent views.

- By Valerie Sweeten FREELANCE WRITER

Houston views from condominiu­ms are spectacula­r simply because of their height, but take on a new perspectiv­e of living from the “penthouse point of view.”

These luxury units on top of high-rises are known for their stunning skyscape views, extra privacy, vaulted ceilings, and large floor-to-ceiling windows.

That’s not all they’re known for. Penthouses, especially in the luxury condo buildings, are equipped with some of the finest amenities a building can offer.

Residents can experience spacious layouts with oversized balconies, walkin closets and the latest in upgrades throughout the home.

At The Parklane, residents can enjoy 16 penthouses with various floor plans that are all over 2,000 square feet with the smallest being 2,210 and the larger ones at 2,470. All are three bedrooms.

In addition, the kitchen appliance package is upgraded to Thermador, and penthouses have premium assigned parking locations. Some penthouses also have private access.

“The Parklane rises 35 stories above Hermann Park offering penthouse owners the most expansive, beautiful views of the city from every direction,” said Casey Ebel with Elevated Group, Compass.

Eric Zollinger, executive manager of sales for Douglas Elliman Texas Developmen­t Marketing, added that Houston’s vertical trend continues to grow.

“These top Houston penthouse offerings bring architectu­re and interior design to new, elevated levels of living in the sky. From private elevator access to personal sauna and infinity pools, these residences offer much more than the best views in the city,” Zollinger said.

Buildings such as The Houstonian, The Astoria and The Wilshire all highlight penthouse residences as well. The Cosmopolit­an, The Giorgetti, and The River Oaks also offer penthouses.

The most common aspect of penthouse living is the luxurious atmosphere and the abundance of multiple amenities throughout the home and the building including 24-hour concierge, rooftop fitness centers, on-site pet services, and proximity to high-end shopping establishm­ents and restaurant­s.
