The Residences at the Allen tower has redefined the skyline near one of Houston’s most popular recreational destinations near downtown, and it could begin to redefine the residential and hospitality scene along the bustling Allen Parkway corridor. Construction on the first $290 million phase of a broader mixed-use development is nearing completion roughly four years after Houston real estate developer DC Partners broke ground. The Residences at the Allen is the first luxury condominium-hotel tower built in Houston in years, a high-end high-rise with 99 condominium units paired with a 171-key Thompson Hotel in the same tower.
