Houston’s Newest Luxury High-Rise That Feels Like a ‘Private Estate’ Opens Its Doors to Tenants for First Time

There's a new player in the luxury market in the Lone Star State. The Langley in Houston is a boutique residential high-rise with 134 residences for lease.

The 20-story building is located at 1717 Bissonnet St., near the Museum District and Rice University. It's offering two- to three-bedroom residences, but what makes the property stand out—only eight units are on each floor.

Each home ranges in size from 2,165 to 3,401 square feet, with monthly pricing starting at $9,100.

"The Langley was conceived to deliver something Houston hasn’t seen before—a boutique high-rise that lives like a private estate," says M. Stephen Meek, senior vice president of development at StreetLights Residential.

"From the limited number of residences per floor to the detail, comfort, and craftsmanship often found in custom homes, every decision was intentional."

Luxe living

StreetLights Residential is a Dallas-based developer behind the luxury property. Each residence for lease is described as having the "scale, grace, and discretion typically reserved for high-end condominiums."

Every residence features a formal entry with a foyer that opens up to a home with 10-foot high ceilings, wide-plank oak flooring, and private balconies. Some units have fireplaces or grills.

Nest thermostats, keyless entry, motorized shades, and Sonos speakers come with each unit. The kitchens have top of the line appliances, including Wolf gas cooktops, GE Monogram panel-front appliances, built-in wine coolers, quartzite countertops with full-height backsplashes, waterfall-edge islands, and ornate custom cabinetry with brass hardware. There's also a separate service kitchen with a secondary refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, and ice maker.

The bathrooms have a soaking tub, rainhead and multifunction shower fixtures, valet and linen storage, and quartzite countertops.

A state-of-the-art fitness center, flex room, and an outdoor yoga space are on the property. For a resident's furry family member, a dog run with shade structure, seating, and pet fountain have been built. Ther are also pet relief areas with adjacent viewing lounge and select-floor interior access.

Bike storage is also on hand with e-bike charing compatibility.

A private fourth-floor lounge features a private dining room with catering kitchen access; a social lounge with Starbucks coffee station; poolside lounge with beverage center, and a private resident lounge with seating and cocktail tables.

A library and coffee lounge is an added amenitiy, as well as a conference room with private workspaces, concierge desk with a lounge area, 24-hour valet service for resident and guests, and a mailroom with 24-hour access and seating.

Outside, restaurants, boutiques, and cultural institutions are blocks away, including Rice University, the Museum District, and the Texas Medical Center.

"The Langley stands apart for the care taken at every level—from the scale of the residences to the refinement of the finishes," says Paul Kilian, co-president of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty.

"Its architectural integrity is exceptional, creating a private, estate-like living experience. We understand what discerning clients look for, and The Langley delivers it all—quality craftsmanship, unparalleled amenities, thoughtful spatial planning, and a rare sense of privacy. We’re proud to represent such a distinctive offering."
