Rice Lofts Houston Reviews: The Rice Loft History

Rice Lofts Houston Reviews: The Rice Loft History

Paige Martin is a customer-focused Houston Realtor’ (member of the National Association of Realtors) dedicated to providing exceptional service. Paige guides clients through all aspects of learning about Houston, relocating to Houston, buying a home, buying a highrise or condo, tips for selling your home, and ensuring that your transaction goes as seamlessly as possible.

The site on which Rice Lofts stands has played host to a number of structures, including the old Capitol of the Republic of Texas (which housed the Texas Congress from April 1837 until September 1839), then a five-story hotel known as the Capitol Hotel (and augmentation of that) before being razed again and rebuilt as The Rice Hotel.

The building was home to the Rice Hotel Cafeteria, which was the first air-conditioned public room in Houston all the way back in 1922, and Rice Lofts is also known for being the site of one of President John F. Kennedy’s final speeches — the day before his death in 1963.

The Rice hotel was closed in 1977 and remained so until Houston developer Randall Davis began to develop a vision for the Rice Lofts twenty years later…

A stained-glass skylight in the two-story lobby beams light down onto the polished floors, lavish rugs, towering columns, and upscale furniture scattered around the elegant entryway of Rice Lofts, shaded by indoor palm trees sprouting up from huge ceramic pots.

An interior balcony surrounds that offers a birds-eye view, and the stairs leading up to it take you to the meeting rooms, outdoor balcony, and also the elegant Crystal Ballroom. The $27.5 million that went into revitalizing this historic landmark (on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978) into Rice Lofts has been very well spent.

In the units upstairs at The Rice Lofts, 100-year-old maple hardwoods are balanced out by the exposed steel beams nested in the 10 to 18-foot ceilings above. Lights shine down on the aged, historic brick walls, and the bathrooms in the one, two, and three-bedroom units at The Rice Lofts feature Italian marble bathtubs with a ball and claw feet.

Some units at Rice even include W/D connections, and the building also offers furnished corporate apartments.

The Rice Lofts is located at 909 Texas Avenue and Main Street in downtown Houston.

"I can't recommend the Houston Properties Team enough. Working with Courtney Williams as our realtor has been a painless and wonderful experience and would recommend her to any of our friends and family. She and the Houston Properties Team guided us flawlessly through our first home purchase. There is no other person I would trust with our next home purchase after how amazing this process has been. - Chad Dubiel"
