MONTROSE MID-RISE
NEIGHBORHOOD’S FIRST LUXURY CONDOMINIUMS
Located at 2312 Commonwealth, the
seven-story Mandell Montrose offers
24 luxury residences in Houston’s most
walkable, desirable neighborhood.
Averaging 2,400sf, each unit designed
by the Mirador Group will also include
an outdoor balcony or terrace. Buyers
will choose from four unique floor plans
with views of Downtown, Midtown or
the Houston Museum District. “Mandell
Montrose will be the first new condomini-
um project in Montrose to offer modern
residences with luxury finishes,” said Bill
Krewson, partner of Midtown/Uptown
Development Partners, the project’s

eccentricity and diversity in the heart of
the city, with tree-covered streets, a mix
of upscale and casual eateries, vibrant
coffee shops, specialty fitness studios,
and proximity to numerous museums and
galleries promoting the arts, sciences,
history and culture. For more information
