Looks like the models are coming in to the sales center - c/o Highrise Tower on HAIF

Did everyone see the $27,982 architectural model of Uptown Houston imported from Canada? The $27,982 model weighs a total of 570 pounds!

The architectural model builder was Peter McCann Architectural Models Inc.

I was able to take some photos of the shipping documents. On the shipping documents there is a printout of the model itself.

Ritz-Carlton Post Oak Project Is A Homecoming For Joe Cleary

December 16, 2025 | 4:39 p.m. ET
Maddy McCarty, Houston

After a half-century career in Houston construction and development, Joe Cleary is back where it all started. But this time, he plans to move in.

One of the namesakes of Houston’s Harvey Cleary Builders, he wanted to be involved in developing a skyline-defining, 44-story condominium and hotel tower in Uptown Houston because he believes that the city is ready for — and deserves — the level of luxury that it will bring.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences Houston project is also on Post Oak Boulevard, where his career began. Cleary retired from Harvey Cleary after 49 years and established Cleary Interests to provide selective project advisory services.

Cleary Interests and Houston real estate firm Deiso Moss are collaborating with Marriott International to debut The Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences Houston at 2120 Post Oak Blvd., they announced in September. Harvey Cleary has built 30 projects in the Galleria-Uptown area, and Cleary said they knew something very special could be done on the parcel.

Well-off empty nesters wanting to leave their sprawling single-family homes behind have fueled Houston’s burgeoning luxury condo market in recent years. But Houston is also a diverse city with many international and business travelers, creating another demand demographic, Cleary said.

“There's a whole bevy of buyers, the international crowd, that we think will find this to be a fabulous choice,” he said. “The understated elegance of our project will sell very well and be very well received by those discerning buyers.”

Ritz-Carlton became interested in a Houston proper project due to the success of The Ritz-Carlton Residences under construction in The Woodlands, Cleary said. The project announcement comes as a St. Regis-branded condo tower in Houston is also scheduled to break ground this year, and The Birdsall, Auberge Collection at The RO is slated for a late 2027 completion.

“With the high-rise residences becoming more prominent, it’s time,” Cleary said of The Ritz-Carlton. “Houston deserves, and Houstonians deserve, a project like this. A high-rise, branded, luxury condominium project is much needed.”

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences is designed with a signature crown inspired by the historic building at 712 Main St. in Downtown Houston, making the building visible and recognizable from every angle in the city.

“You'll see it when you're in the air. You'll see it on the ground,” Cleary said. “It's just going to be a spectacular project.”

I wish I had gone in and tried to get some of the base and interior renderings before the page disappeared.

That said - as I mentioned in the main Houston highrise thread, that stretch of Post Oak could become very interesting soon. The Ritz and then just up the sidewalk all of the work to convert the site at Central Park Post Oak (Post Oak Central) and just past that the Crescent 50-Story skyscraper proposal...

And further up the street and just around the corner at San Felipe with Uptown Oaks seemingly back from the dead...

Would love to see the cluster of cranes all of this could produce!

Nice looking tower. I do question the "~600 FT" height. From the renderings it looks shorter.

Lauren Rottet on Designing Ritz-Carlton’s Return to Houston, Expected in 2029

As the city sees its community of high-net-worth individuals rise, Houston gears up for one of its first luxury branded residences with interior designs by Rottet Studio.

MILAN — The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the River Oaks area of Houston hosted Queen Elizabeth II in 1991, but the location lost its license and was stripped of the Ritz-Carlton name in 1997. Now the brand is coming back, this time with a hotel and one of the city’s first luxury branded residences in its history.

Houston-based Rottet Studio founded by Lauren Rottet is designing the interiors for The Ritz-Carlton, Houston — the brand’s first branded residences in the city and hotel, which the studio said are slated for completion in the fall of 2029.

Rising 45 stories at 2120 Post Oak Boulevard in the prestigious Galleria neighborhood, the tower is expected to feature 156 guest rooms and 114 private residences, along with restaurants, lounges and amenities.

Building on Rottet Studio’s work at The Ritz-Carlton Dallas and The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles, Rottet said the studio is taking part in shaping the Ritz-Carlton legacy with this landmark project in Houston.

“The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences is a carefully conceived property that reflects Houston’s fascinating history, lush green landscape, and Southern cosmopolitan culture,” Rottet told WWD, adding that her designs include warm woods paired with cooler toned stones and polished bronze accents to create an inviting environment.

When designing the property, Rottet Studio was inspired by the city’s natural treasures, its history and its prominent figures. “We envisioned them picnicking together on the banks of Buffalo Bayou under the tall post oak trees dreaming of building a hotel property that would exemplify in every way their beloved Houston.”

The branded residence concept is still new to Houston, home to a rising number of high-net-worth individuals and where the market is relatively untapped in terms of services to host them.

Marriott International, the Ritz-Carlton’s parent company, is working with local Houston real estate firm Deiso Moss for the development of the project.

A Record Condo Sale in Texas? A $30 Million Houston Penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton Residences Finds a Buyer

A penthouse at the forthcoming Ritz-Carlton Residences, Houston that’s asking $30 million is in contract to sell in what is likely to be a record condo deal for Texas.

Currently, the priciest condo to ever sell in Texas was a penthouse at Dallas’s Museum Tower that sold for $8.63 million in April 2022, according to Redeavor Group, which is handling sales and marketing for the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Houston.

“Based on publicly available information and current contracts, we can confirm the sale is expected to set a new record for condominium pricing in Texas,” Redeavor Group said.

The Ritz-Carlton development isn’t the only luxury project in the city with a major deal in the works. The next-highest pending sale in Texas is for a penthouse at the St. Regis Residences Houston that’s listed for $17.995 million.

The penthouse will occupy the entire top floor of the building, making it one of only two full-floor residences at the Ritz-Carlton. Its interiors will span more than 8,900 square feet, with four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a study.

There will be about 2,000 square feet of outdoor space, including a terrace with a pool, which will be the highest private residential pool in the state, according to Redeavor Group.
