The Astoria Houston Condos For Sale Guide
The Astoria condos for sale & real estate guide
Featuring custom art deco architecture, the 75-unit Astoria is one of Randall Davis’ architectural masterpieces in the bustling Galleria district.
The luxury tower features:
-
EXCLUSIVITY: The 29-story Astoria has 75 units with 10 penthouses. Two-, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans are available, averaging 3,000 square feet. Penthouse units can feature 9,000 square feet of living space. With units priced between $600,000 and over $3,000,000, The Astoria is one of the most expensive luxury highrises in Houston.
-
NEW CONSTRUCTION BUILDING: Randall Davis worked with DC Partners to bring us The Astoria, one of Houston’s New Luxury Highrises. This partnership is also responsible for two other new construction luxury condos, The Marlowe and The Arabella. Randall’s portfolio includes The Cosmopolitan, Empire Lofts, Manhattan, and Rice Lofts.
-
LUXURY AMENITIES: The building features luxury amenities, including a starlight infinity-edge pool deck, a resident’s lounge with a movie theater, a 24/7 concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private wine room, and pied-a-terre for guests. Penthouse units have expansive terraces, four sky pools available, and private garages.
-
PREMIER SHOPPING DESTINATION: The Astoria sits along Post Oak Boulevard with a “next door living” to more than 50 world-class restaurants and around 200 upscale shops. Uptown’s shopping trifecta is just 2 miles away from the tower. The Galleria houses more than 375 stores. The historic Highland village features national and local retailers. Residents also get to enjoy an alfresco shopping experience with Uptown Park’s Italian-inspired shopping villa.
-
NEAR MEDICAL CENTER AND MUSEUM DISTRICT: The building is near major roads like Loop 610 and Southwest Freeway, allowing for convenient access to Houston’s key districts. With over 52 medical and research facilities, the Texas Medical Center is the largest medical center in the world. Museum District is home to 19 world-class museums promoting culture, history, science, and art.
Buying in Astoria can be tricky for several reasons. It’s a new building, so there are limited resale trends. It is also within the Galleria, a district with numerous luxury condo buildings in the same mold as The Astoria. Buyers would benefit from great advice on what makes an Astoria unit better or worse than the numerous similar units in the area.
To get personal advice on buying or selling units in Astoria, contact Paige Martin, one of Houston's best realtors and one of the top-ranked Realtors in the United States.

12 Things Astoria Condo Buyers Should Know
“Paige Martin and her team are THE condo experts in Houston. Paige has literally written the book (The Definitive Houston Condo Buying Guide) about buying a condo in Houston. They know what buildings to avoid, what floor plans to be wary about, and they have relationships to help with off market inventory and sales. If you’re considering buying or selling a condo (new construction or one of the current buildings) I would highly recommend you talk to them. You won’t find any other Realtor or team who is as knowledgeable as they are about the pro’s and con’s of Houston’s highrise buildings. They are fabulous to work with, are very candid with their advice and will look out for your best interests. I highly recommend the HoustonProperties.com team.” – Michael Manley
