If a building can be dramatic, then the Hogg Palace is right at home in the heart of Houston’s thriving Theatre District. Built in 1921 by William C. Hogg, developer of River Oaks and son of Jim Hogg, former Governor of Texas, the eight-story Art Deco office building has retained every inch of its distinction with its timely conversion to loft residences.
Once home to developer Hogg’s offices and the Armor Auto Company, an upscale automobile retailer, the Hogg Palace now features 80 spacious, light-filled loft apartments distinguished by soaring ceilings with exposed air conditioning ducts, the characteristic “industrial chic” brick and concrete walls, granite kitchen countertops and over-sized bathrooms. The top floor has been restored to its original elegance as the Hogg family’s offices and remains exclusive office space today.
Best of all is its fortuitous location, within three blocks in all directions of some of Houston’s most entertaining areas and offerings. Market Square, the Theatre District, Sesquicentennial Park and Allen’s Landing are all within a five-minute walk. And residents who work downtown have traded off lengthy commutes behind the wheel for a short stroll on sidewalk.
