A unique urban environment, Uptown Houston is a place to work, play and enjoy. It’s defined by its gleaming business towers, which house more than 26-million square feet of commercial office space, making Uptown one of the largest business districts in the United States. Sleek high-rise residences also take up their fair share of space, designed by coveted American architects. For retail addicts, shopping up a storm in the world-famous Galleria mall is a must.
Attracting professionals, fashionistas and tourists alike, Uptown Houston steps up as one of the city’s busiest districts. Every day, more than 200,000 people descend on the neighbourhood to work in its prestigious office buildings, stay in luxe hotels, wine and dine at fantastic restaurants and shop in boutique stores.
Uptown is a district all of its own, located 10 kilometres to the west of Downtown Houston. It’s anchored by Post Oak Boulevard and Westheimer Road and is easy to access by public transport. From George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Uptown is a 30-minute drive to the south or a 1.5-hour public transit journey.
Uptown Houston is all about living the high life, with the dazzling Williams Tower stepping up as one of the tallest buildings in the United States. Built in 1983, the 64 story building towers 275-metres above the Uptown area. It was designed by New York-based firm John Burgee Architects and boasts classic Big Apple style.
