From sparkly, atmospheric club rooms to its lush, vast pool courtyard, The Sterling is where urbane meets convivial, where "Houston meets New York City." Anchoring the rising, pedestrian-oriented Regent Square neighborhood, this 590-unit cosmopolitan residence invites residents to resort living—at home.
Developed by GID, this one-million-square-foot, Texas-scale multifamily project wraps its eight-acre, block-wide site, framing two residential courtyards and embracing Regent Square's public open space. Comprised of four interconnected residential buildings and a public plaza featuring 50,000 square feet of retail, The Sterling is a luxury residential setting and a dynamic and inclusive public place.
With chic interiors and a spa-worthy courtyard, The Sterling synthesizes the best of hospitality and resort design. Offering studio, one-, and two-bedroom units, a rich, indoor-outdoor amenity package supports residents from wellness to socializing to working from home. An innovative interior architecture approach—incorporating mechanical mezzanine levels— allows for double-height spaces uncommon in low-rise buildings, creating spacious amenity environments combined with the desirable courtyards that low-rise construction makes possible.
The rich indoor/outdoor amenity program supports residents from wellness to socializing to working from home with flair. At its heart, the lush, 50,000 square-foot pool courtyard is the size of a football field. Framed by palm trees, it hosts a wrap-around island bar, a spa, firepits, lounge areas, and access to the adjacent roof-top terrace. Complementing this lively scene, a smaller courtyard hosts a peaceful retreat. The al fresco Veranda lounge bridges the two, offering a shaded double-height social space.
The fourth level's amenity hub is equidistant from all units and accessible from both courtyards, hosting the 16,000-square-foot program. From Link Lounge, residents connect to reservable conferencing, group dining, and entertainment lounges, including the double-height game room. The active lifestyle is reflected in the wellness center, dog spa, media room/lounge, three professional demonstration kitchens, and two bike storage/repair rooms. Hospitality-inspired lobbies welcome residents while steps away, Regent Square's plaza beckons with world-class restaurants and hot spots.
