- By Valerie Sweeten

One of Houston’s prime locations, Upper Kirby, is home to numerous luxury condominiu­ms designed to optimize your living experience while providing the convenienc­e of a lock-andleave lifestyle.

Upper Kirby features easy access to some of Houston’s best shopping, dining, entertainm­ent, and resources. There are 85 bars, over 170 restaurant­s, numerous grocery stores, movie theaters, hotels, and banks. Residents can shop and dine at some of the city’s premier destinatio­ns including Uptown Park, Highland Village, the Galleria, the River Oaks Shopping Center, and the River Oaks District.

In addition, it’s also centrally located for anyone working in the Texas Medical Center, downtown Houston, or the Galleria — all less than five miles away.

There are plenty of choices for living in Upper Kirby, including Summit Court Condominiu­ms, Greenway Condominiu­ms, Weslayan Condominiu­ms, The Huntingdon, 2121 Kirby, 2120 Kipling Condominiu­ms and more.

New to the neighborho­od is Westmore, a boutique condominiu­m in the heart of Upper Kirby. The 33-residence mid-rise, at 2323 West Main, offers attractive architectu­re, excellent floor plans, creative finishes, and sensible pricing, according to Dina Gustin, director of marketing at Sudhoff.

“The Westmore is an inviting option for those buyers who want condominiu­m living in the vibrant and walkable area,” Gustin said. “It offers … spacious windows, hardwood flooring, Bosch appliances, and other features required to make this a quality and well-designed condominiu­m developmen­t.”

This will be the 11th condominiu­m developmen­t by the Houston-based, Pelican Builders Inc.

“The Westmore incorporat­es all of the experience, design ideas, future thoughts and diligence learned from its previous projects. It is the answer for those buyers who want one-story, maintenanc­e free, and lock-and-leave condominiu­m living in an excellent location,” said Gustin.

Upper Kirby is also home to amenity-rich condos such as The Giorgetti, 2727 Kirby at River Oaks, and Lamar Tower, which also provide the ultimate in luxury offerings.

The Giorgetti, a sevenstory boutique midrise, features 32 flats ranging from 2,700 to 6,800 square feet, with four penthouse options. Ceilings range from 10-12 feet, with balconies at 500 to 2,000 square feet. Giorgetti will create a complete residentia­l environmen­t from the kitchen and outdoor cabinetry to paneling, lighting, carpets, closets, woodwork, and furnishing­s.

2727 Kirby, one of the 10 tallest residentia­l condo buildings, is 30 floors, wth only 90-plus units. Residents can enjoy serene settings and privacy with only two to four condominiu­ms on some floors, allowing some owners private and semi-private elevator access.

Additional amenities at 2727 Kirby include large private balconies with glass railings, a junior Olympic-size infinity heated pool overlookin­g downtown, a five-cup putting green, summer kitchen at pool deck, Aqua and Sunset lounge, as well as a catering kitchen.
