The Westmore’s intimate, mid-rise scale was intended to complement, rather than overpower, its charming surroundings, which range from renovated bungalows and multiplexes to high-end patio homes and townhomes plus multi-million-dollar single-family residences. And while just seven stories, residents are afforded beautiful treetops and skyline views that belie its modest size.
Perfectly nestled just off bustling Kirby Drive, just outside River Oaks, and moments from West University, the 33-residence property boasts an enviable 92 Walk Score. The proximity to things both useful and enjoyable has been one of its biggest sale drivers given the plethora of things that a pedestrian can so easily access just blocks away, from Whole Foods Market and Levy Park to Pinstripes bowling and bocce and Color Factory, plus a slew of antique and design stores, art galleries, service offerings, and fitness studios. And that doesn’t touch the surface of a literal bounty of restaurants for every taste, ranging from The Original Carrabba’s, Kiran's, and Thai newcomer MaKiin to recently opened bistro PS-21, Armando’s, Local Foods and Relish.
According to Pelican Builders founder Robert Bland, “The appeal for this building spans upwardly mobile young professionals to downsizing couples in their 50s and 60s, and they’re all drawn to a no maintenance lifestyle with the best of the city at their fingertips. At the Westmore, they have all that with the bonus of a 24-hour doorman for security purposes.”
The property is exclusively sold and marketed by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. Its model residence is open Monday – Tuesday and Thursday – Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm or by appointment. For more information or to book an appointment to tour, please call or text 713-600-5096 or visit www.westmorehouston.com.
A moment from 'The House,' choreographed by Nao Kusuzaki
As an audience limited to 30 for each performance is led throughout the house, the stories and secrets of these two amazing women are revealed through movement and spoken word.
“They were true to their values, and words were their main tool,” says Kusuzaki of Jordan and Lee. “They were both strong women who realized their dreams and influenced society in terms of human and civil rights.”
Given the limited amount of square footage within the Yale House, the big challenge for Kusuzaki has been predicting how the audience will react in such cramped quarters. “Some people like to be close, but others might want their space,” says Kusuzaki. Despite such challenges, Heights Ironworks has been a creatively stimulating choice of venue for dance. “It’s quite beautiful,” says Kusuzaki. “I was inspired by the property, and how it’s being used today.”
