The most expensive unit at a new longevity-focused condo tower in Houston is a duplex penthouse that’s set to hit the market for $15 million, Mansion Global has learned.

The “invite-only” development, KA Residences, plans to bring the wellness amenities that can be found at high-end health clubs directly into the home. Construction for KA Houston—which will be the first stand-alone wellness-focused branded residence in Texas—is planned to begin in the fall, with completion slated for the end of 2028 or early 2029.

Each KA Residences unit, including the premier penthouse, will have its own “Merkaba Room,” a 400-square-foot space equipped with wellness amenities like a meditation pod, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, a red-light dry sauna, and hot and cold plunge.

“Focusing on self is really the ultimate luxury at this point,” said KA Residences co-founder Nina Magon. “We wanted to go against how everyone is doing social spa and wellness, and say if this is truly going into oneself, how can that be achieved on a regular basis without having to travel?”

The two-story penthouse, on the 13th and 14th floors, will span approximately 7,000 square feet, plus have about 3,800 square feet of balcony space. The balconies on the two levels will feature a private 10- by 20-foot pool, a hot tub, an outdoor shower and a sauna.

One of Houston’s foremost design experts is bringing her acclaimed eye to a luxury condo project. KA Residences, a new luxury high-rise from designer Nina Magon and real estate developer Moiz Bhamani, will bring a wellness-focused approach to living in Houston.

Together, Magon and Bhamani have secured a property near Memorial Park at 55 Briar Hollow Lane to bring KA Residences to life. The project extends Magon’s existing portfolio, which includes, her design business Nina Magon Studio, the Nina Magon Lounge within Zadok Jewelers, River Oaks French restaurant Cocody, and the Memorial Estates at Verdi, a luxury townhome development that opened in 2024.

The Well-Lived Life at KA Residences, Houston’s New Health-Centered High-Rise Designed by Nina Magon

Scheduled to break ground later this year, this ambitious residential concept was conceived and created by interior designer Nina Magon and developer Moiz Bhamani. Together they envisioned a concept that draws its name from the ancient Egyptian word describing a person’s vital essence.

Magon, whose design work defines 51Fifteen restaurant at Houston’s Saks Fifth Avenue department store and Memorial Estates at Verdi, was introduced to Bhamani, a fellow Canadian, two years ago. Bhamani had already built a successful career developing commercial and residential real estate in his native country.

At a YPO retreat in Costa Rica, the duo found themselves engaged in conversation during a long, humid walk back from a waterfall plunge. This casual chat seeded the beginning of what would ultimately become KA.

“We both realized we’re all seeking to live better lives and practice wellness,” says Bhamani, a Harvard Business School graduate and founder of Eletell Development. “At that Costa Rican hike we were one with nature, which was the real inspiration.”

“Both of us are into wellness,” Magon says. “I’m more into the aesthetics of beauty, and he’s more into longevity. Obviously, the ideas exchanged have evolved since then, but we wanted to create a unique development not offered in the market. I think in this day, it’s so important to focus on self as we’ve been so outwardly focused for such a long time.

“Everything is coming back to mindfulness and how we elevate ourselves, so we created KA the brand.”

When Magon and Bhamani, who both live in Houston, returned to reality, they immediately went to the drawing board, devising a new kind of residence that doesn’t just pamper its residents — it rejuvenates them. With private, rather than shared amenities, KA will be the first standalone wellness residence of its kind.

The architect for KA Residences Houston is Kobi Karp, based in Miami and known for his work on Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Arte Surfside, Satori Hotel & Residences, and projects around the world.

The first KA Residences at 55 Briar Hollow Lane near Houston’s Post Oak Hotel will be by invitation, with the partners tapping into their client list for potential residents. Prices range from $3.5 million to $15 million. Still, the partners envision the brand will grow rapidly with $1 billion in the pipeline for complementary projects across the globe slated for Dallas, Scottsdale, Dubai and Mexico City — for starters.
