Riva at the Park
Riva at the Park is a high-rise luxury condominium on Buffalo Bayou Park with views of both the park and downtown Houston. The building was designed as a modern interpretation of art deco style, with a mix of materiality between terracotta colored brick, limestone colored cast stone and stucco, and blue glass. This project consists of 7 levels of condominium over 3 levels of garage with an amenity deck at the roof with sweeping and unstructured downtown views.
Riva embodies a new vision of city life in Houston. Centered on the reinvigorated Buffalo Bayou Park, residents enjoy access to outdoor recreation and fitness as easily as they do to signature restaurants, eclectic shops, culture and entertainment venues. The vibrant pace of urban living is always accessible yet never intrusive. Within its generous confines Riva represents the epitome of modern urban luxury. The feeling is contemporary, yet warm. Residents enjoy generously proportioned living spaces, immaculately detailed finishes, premium appliances and fixtures. This unique district appeals equally to those attracted back from afar to experience the best the city has to offer by day, or by night.
The residences at Riva at the Park make an impressive statement from front door to living room to gourmet kitchen to master suite. Careful planning maximizes every square foot of living space, while the finest design and materials make for an uncompromised experience day in and day out. Warm materials and natural light create a space far removed from the cold industrialism of the typical urban loft. Residents luxuriate amidst detailed finishes, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, elegant fixtures and superior craftsmanship.
