HOUSTON, TX - StreetLights Residential today unveiled The Langley, Houston’s newest boutique residential high-rise conceived as a modern-day estate, with the official launch of leasing. Rising 20 stories above the live oak canopy between the Museum District and Rice University, the building introduces an exclusive collection of 134 residences for lease, designed to deliver estate-level privacy, refinement, and scale in a high-rise setting.
Located at 1717 Bissonnet, The Langley is thoughtfully positioned among the historic streets of Boulevard Oaks and Southampton. With only eight residences per floor, the building offers an elevated sense of space, discretion, and quiet indulgence. Two- and three-bedroom homes range from approximately 2,165 to 3,401 square feet, providing a rare level of craftsmanship and livability in a rental offering. Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty serves as the exclusive leasing partner. Monthly pricing starts at approximately $9,100.
"The Langley was conceived to deliver something Houston hasn’t seen before—a boutique high-rise that lives like a private estate," said M. Stephen Meek, Senior Vice President of Development at StreetLights Residential. "From the limited number of residences per floor to the detail, comfort, and craftsmanship often found in custom homes, every decision was intentional."
The Residences
Each residence for lease is designed with the scale, grace, and discretion typically reserved for high-end condominiums. Featuring 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank oak flooring, private balconies—some with fireplaces or grills—formal entry foyers with powder rooms, and spacious walk-in closets with customizable shelving, the homes combine elegance and practicality. Smart home technology integrates Nest thermostats, keyless entry, motorized shades, and Sonos speakers throughout.
Kitchens include Wolf gas cooktops, GE Monogram panel-front appliances, built-in wine coolers, quartzite countertops with full-height backsplashes, waterfall-edge islands, and ornate custom cabinetry with brass hardware. All residences include service kitchens with a secondary refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, and icemaker. Bathrooms feature soaking tubs, rainhead and multifunction shower fixtures, valet and linen storage, and quartzite countertops, creating a harmonious blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience that supports a lock-and-leave lifestyle while maintaining the privacy of a custom-finished single-family residence.
