In Houston’s competitive luxury real estate market, buyers are often drawn to new construction high-rises with modern finishes and amenities. However, older Houston high-rise condominiums can present a compelling, and often smarter, opportunity for discerning buyers seeking long-term value, space, and stability. For those considering luxury condominiums overlooking Hermann Park, it is worth understanding why established buildings like The Parklane continue to stand out in today’s market. Better Value Per Square Foot in Houston Luxury Condos One of the strongest advantages of older high-rise condos in Houston is value. Compared to newly developed luxury towers, where rising land, construction, and financing costs push prices higher, established buildings often offer: Larger floor plans More generous room proportions Better price per square foot Greater overall livability Many newer high-rises prioritize maximizing unit count, which can result in smaller layouts. In contrast, older luxury condominiums frequently provide expansive living areas, defined dining spaces, and larger bedrooms, features increasingly rare in new construction. For buyers prioritizing comfort and long-term livability, space remains one of the most valuable assets.

There's no one term to describe this classic kitchen design. It has farmhouse elements while bring traditional at it's core. The unusual element is the custom made china hutch that was the centerpiece for the clients' design wishes. The rest of the kitchen is simple classic design with excellent function and storage.

The kitchen is probably my favorite space we renovated in the home. It's super crisp...which also might be my favorite interior design term :) The marble 3-D backsplash brings depth and texture. Loads of storage in this kitchen as we added cabinets under the grand island. We carried the water vibes through by adding blue Art & accessories. The white Quartz countertops are practically maintenance free: they are stain, acid, scratch, heat and impact resistant...perfect for a family.

Who said that a Burbank bungalow home needs to be doll and old fashioned. In this Burbank remodeling project we took this 1200sq. bungalow home and turned it to a wonderful mixture of European modern kitchen space and calm transitional modern farmhouse furniture and flooring. The kitchen was a true challenge since space was a rare commodity, but with the right layout storage and work space became abundant. A floating 5' long sitting area was constructed and even the back face of the cabinets was used for wine racks. Exterior was updated as well with new black windows, new stucco over layer and new light fixtures all around. both bedrooms were fitted with huge 10' sliding doors overlooking the green backyard.
