Before making an important decision like buying a new home, it’s important to consider the purchase from several angles. What are the pros? What are the cons? How long is the commute? What are the most important things on my wish list? Sometimes it takes a different perspective to evaluate and solidify a commitment to a new home, a major decision that will shape the future for the homebuyer and their family. We’re taking a look at The Parklane from a few different angles to delve deeper into the luxury high-rise lifestyle and what that means for residents.

Part of the scenic backdrop

If you’re local to Houston or like to visit, you may have visited Hermann Park, 445 acres of gardens, trails, lakes, monuments, and attractions. Constantly changing through the seasons, the park has been a popular destination for over one hundred years. Millions of visitors appreciate its many features, evolving landscaping, artwork, playgrounds, picnic areas, and recreational initiatives. Located adjacent to Hermann Park at 1701 Hermann Drive is The Parklane 35-story condo building, not quite as well established as the park, although recognized as a familiar and instantly recognizable local landmark. Over the decades, visitors have taken photos within the park and may not have noticed The Parklane in the background. The visitors taking the pictures which captured The Parklane in the snapshot were celebrating their beautiful surroundings, the same view that is enjoyed from The Parklane residences.

Hermann Park is home to an oak-lined golf course that was originally built in 1922 and renovated in 1999. Open 7 days a week to the public, just as The Parklane is easily visible from the fairways and the greens, the view of the golf course from The Parklane is nothing short of spectacular. For keen golfers, not only could the golf course become a part of the view from a new high-rise home, the tees are just minutes away.

High Rise Living Spaces

High-rise living spaces near a major metropolis, particularly near to a downtown locale, are often crammed together in a small area, neighboring towers that may have great views in one direction may have not so great views if the adjacent building also happens to be a high rise property. The Parklane’s location has remained popular over decades as it blends a convenient location near to the Texas Medical Center, Downtown, Rice Village, the Ion and South Main Innovation District, the University of Houston, Rice University, and the Museum District with an uncluttered skyline, meaning the stunning panoramas over Hermann Park and the Houston skyline are not just enjoyed by the penthouse suites.

An Interior Design Perspective

With a choice of four interior design packages to choose from, homebuyers at The Parklane can choose between rustic and modern, vibrant or subtle. Tailoring the newly remodeled home is easy with a selection of interior design elements like calming light grey walls, arctic white kitchen countertops with medium veining, sandy-grey solid hardwood floors, whitewashed ash wood cabinets, and chrome fixtures. All of this is in addition to the standard features like recessed LED lighting, Bosch appliances, Eggersmann USA cabinets, and pre-wiring for smart-home automation.

An Elevated Lifestyle

The high-rise lifestyle at The Parklane is truly elevated, with five-star amenities and a team of dedicated professionals on hand to make sure residents have everything they need when they need it. Amenities include a swimming pool with a pool deck and cabanas, a tennis court, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a business lounge and coffee bar, a modern lobby to welcome guests, and a 24/7 concierge on hand to help with providing lobby and access point management as well as package procurement, assisting with maintenance requests, working with contractors, co-ordination as new residents move into The Parklane, a handyman service, and housekeeping.
