Houston Begins Construction of First Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences
The long-anticipated Ritz-Carlton hotel-condo project in Houston’s Uptown area officially broke ground, marking a significant development in the city’s luxury hospitality scene. Houston-based real estate firm Deiso Moss announced their partnership with Marriott International on September 10, 2025, to develop the first-ever Ritz-Carlton hotel and branded residences in Houston.
Located at 2120 Post Oak Blvd., adjacent to The Galleria, the Ritz-Carlton Houston will rise as a 44-story tower comprising 154 hotel guest rooms and 114 private residences. These residences will offer a minimum living space of 2,200 square feet and are being marketed as “gracious homes in the sky.” Both hotel guests and condo owners will benefit from 50,000 square feet of shared Ritz-Carlton restaurants, lounges, and amenities.
Specific features for residence owners include a private motor court, dedicated lobby, and exclusive elevators, alongside 27,000 square feet of amenities designed for residents only. The Ritz-Carlton will manage the hotel operations, while Condo sales will take place under a licensing agreement with Marriott International.
As the only Ritz-Carlton hotel in Houston, this establishment is also notable for being the third in Texas, joining existing properties in Dallas and Las Colinas. The city previously hosted a Ritz-Carlton in River Oaks, which lost its name in 1997.
Developer Background and Project Insights
Deiso Moss acquired the property at 2120 Post Oak in 2021, originally intending to create a luxury mixed-use development. However, they later pivoted to focus on the Ritz-Carlton brand. The project has garnered attention due to its promise of enhancing Houston’s image, emphasizing the city’s refinement, culture, and enduring quality.
To bring this vision to life, Deiso Moss has collaborated with distinguished architecture firms Pickard Chilton and Ziegler Cooper, with interior designs crafted by Rottet Studio. Construction is being managed by local contractor Harvey Cleary, ensuring that the project retains a local touch amid its luxurious offerings.
While a sales gallery for the residences is currently being constructed on-site, officials were unable to provide specific timelines regarding the start of sales or overall project completion. Details about financing remain undisclosed, but the anticipation surrounding the project is palpable among future residents and the greater Houston community.
Conclusion
The establishment of the Ritz-Carlton Houston represents a milestone in the city’s luxury real estate market. Not only will it introduce new standards in upscale living and hospitality, but it will also contribute to Houston’s ongoing growth and modernization as a prime destination for both residents and visitors.
