Officials with the Houston-based commercial real estate firm Satya first announced plans to build the project in December. The initial release shared the location of the development and a few minor details, including:
- St. Regis Residences will be built on four acres of land at 102 Asbury Place.

Now, after almost a year since the first announcement, the developer has released the specific details of the project, including renderings of the property.
- There will be 93 residences for sale with floor plans that range from a one-bedroom to multi-bedroom plan, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet.
- Residents can choose from a limited collection of three penthouses and two sub-penthouses ranging, from 4,500 to 6,000 square feet.
- Amenities will include a resort-style lap pool, a fitness studio, meditation garden, an arcade, outdoor dining, pet spa, card room, theatre and children's activity center.
Prices start at $2.4 million, according to an Oct. 23 news release.
More details
The property is designed by a combination of services from Pickard Chilton, an international architectural practice headquartered in Connecticut; ForrestPerkins, a hospitality and multi-residential firm specializing in luxury interior design; and Houston-based KW Landscape Architects.
The exterior facade of the tower will feature floor-to-ceiling glass, a sloped roof and wrap-around balconies. Adrienne Nelson, design principal at Pickard Chilton, said the curvilinear form is inspired by the Buffalo Bayou.
"The tower's form echos the flow of water, with ripples along the facade that pull back to reveal terraces with unobstructed views," he said.
According to the news release, the interior design of homes will incorporate rich materials, inviting finishes and furnishings, artwork and well-appointed entertainment spaces. Colletta Conner, managing principal at ForrestPerkins, said inspiration was taken from Houston's rich oil history with the use of rich bronze and gold colors.Stay tuned
