Vintage Park

Vintage Park, a lifestyle shopping center, is a visual transport to an Italian shopping promenade, with the Piazza, a nearly one acre pedestrian area, as the heart of the center. Special attention has been given to fine details with rich Mediterranean architecture, hand-laid pavers, stone columns, clay tile roofs, mosaic ornamental pieces, and hand-painted murals. The Piazza features a series of fountains and beautiful landscaping that can be enjoyed by diners from one of the many venues that overlook the area.

The Vintage has become one of Houston’s most exciting master planned mixed-use developments in Houston’s history. In addition to Vintage Park, the announced projects to date contain 537,000 square feet of retail/office space, over 1,600 upscale residences, two apartment communities, a 123-room hotel as well as the St. Luke’s and Kelsey-Seybold medical campus. www.vintageparkhouston.com
