From Renderings to Real Life at The Parklane

When embracing a highrise lifestyle, a few considerations are high on everyone’s list – the primary one perhaps being location. The Parklane has had its prime location adjacent to Hermann Park for four decades and has become an iconic feature in the neighborhood with its 35 stories, floor-to-ceiling windows curved at the edges no less, and private balconies in every residence. The Parklane stands tall and proud over majestic parkland while being close enough to Downtown and prestigious local Houston hotspots to be ideally situated.

Location, while very important, is a part of the puzzle when choosing where to live. With meticulous attention to detail and a journey over several months to see a stunning vision become a reality, The Parklane backs up its five-star amenities and luxury reputation with welcoming communal areas and spaces to make first impressions and lasting impressions on residents and guests alike. The Parklane may have been built decades ago; however, one step inside the lobby will be all that is needed to carry forward the best from the past alongside today’s cutting-edge aesthetics with innovative and vibrant designs.

The Lobby

The lobby is the beating pulse of the building, a place to welcome guests, a gathering point to meet existing friends when going out to one of the local restaurants or attractions, a central hub to meet new friends and neighbors, and a place to drop by for support from the concierge who is on hand 24/7.
With a concept to delight and not just welcome visitors and residents to The Parklane, a contemporary and sleek lobby surpasses expectations with a spacious and modern interior design scheme, timelessly elegant and elegantly timeless.

This represents the lobby when it is completed, with work looking to wrap up over the next 3 months, bringing us into 2024 with a big cheer.

The images below show the progress (as published in December 2023).

Futuristic lighting fixtures illuminate and reflect on the gleaming tiles. The gas fireplace that is sure to be a focal point and gathering point is in situ, commanding admiring glances for its bold design and sheer scale.

Scale is always a wow factor; no compromise has been made on the design’s boldness or the materials’ exceptional quality. Be prepared to look across, up, and everywhere as the finishing touches are added, from artwork to furnishings. The lobby will be a fitting entrance to the luxury condominiums above. If the lobby looks large and impressive, that’s because it is! With the mailbox area, a professional business office, the concierge desk, a comfortable lounge area, a conference room to gather, and a kitchen area, the lobby is an impressive 4,530 sq. ft.

Five-star amenities

Other communal spaces reinforce the overall feeling of luxury, opulence, and serenity, with the swimming pool being a prime example. Calling the pool at The Parklane a simple swimming pool does not do it justice. A pool deck and private cabanas surround the resort-style pool. For residents swimming to exercise, swimming to relax, or simply for those who want to spend a sunny afternoon in the shade enjoying a good book, visiting this pool is more of an experience than an event. When you call The Parklane home, this could be one of your favorite places to dip into.

More information about the amenities can be found on The Parklane Houston amenities page. Beyond the pool, there is a state-of-the-art fitness center, a tennis court, a dog park for a man’s best friend, a playground area, outdoor grilling stations, an outdoor fitness experience, and so much more. Overall, the amenity deck and pool area occupy 35,200 sq. ft.

Destination Elevators

Your time is precious, and technology has moved on since the days when first come, first served was the only way to program an elevator system. Destination elevators, like the ones at The Parklane, process information on which groups of people across the various elevators travel in the same direction, saving everyone time and eliminating the frustration of first going up a floor to get to the lobby. Oh yes, and while a ‘smart’ destination elevator system was always a part of the plan for the renovations, so was a stunning appearance, with ample room to gather and pass by neighbors and friends. The lobby’s color scheme and interior design style are mirrored with sleek lines, gleaming tiles, highly polished surfaces, and recessed lighting. Functional and optimized, the elevators at the Parklane take the legwork out of high-rise living.
