Houston House Apartments, Residential skyscraper in downtown Houston, United States
Houston House Apartments is a 31-story apartment complex in the Skyline District of southern Downtown Houston, Texas. Charles M. Goodman designed the building, which opened in 1966 and holds 396 apartments averaging 650 square feet, most between 500 and 840 square feet.
The building opened in 1966 as part of Houston's urban development during the mid-twentieth century, designed by architect Charles M. Goodman. Its construction reflected the city's growth period and modernization efforts during that era.
The name Houston House follows the building's residential role in the Skyline District of southern Downtown Houston. Charles M. Goodman designed it, and since 1983 Larry Hill of Sumar Realty Corp. and a group of investors have owned it through a partnership. By 2007 about 90% of the 396 apartments were occupied, and it was among the few Downtown residential buildings running for around 40 years.
The location provides direct access to Market Square Park, dining options, shopping, and public transportation throughout downtown. Visitors can easily walk to nearby attractions and services in the surrounding area.
In 2007 a car drove through the wall of the complex's garage and landed wheels up on another downtown building; the driver died in the crash. The building has 396 apartments, and most units measure between 500 and 840 square feet.
