ABOUT TIMELESSNESS What makes something timeless? When a rare beauty being discovered over and over uncovers exquisite and enlightening features. When an inanimate object has the capacity to form human emotional connection. When timeless beauty is expressed in the essence of Giorgetti’s furnishings, its cabinetry and now, its first and only residence. The attractiveness of Giorgetti Houston is captivating. Its artistry has a detail for form that has been aesthetically mastered for over 190 years. A century legacy of the most exquisite designs that will remain for times to come. Your home at Giorgetti Houston is designed to be a perfect everlasting moment.

La dolce vita THE NEW STANDARD IN UPPER KIRBY A chair is more than a place to sit. It is a medium for self-expression. If you think about it, chairs are about status, signaling something about oneself. An academic gets a chair, a judge sits on the bench, and an executive becomes chairman of the board.
From the top LETTER FROM THE DEVELOPER Throughout my career, I have often been asked ‘why’. Why now? Why that location? Why this project? I always welcome these questions as they are the very things I ask myself when we are considering a new community. When I look at Giorgetti Houston, it is easy to say why. Houston is a vibrant, sophisticated forward looking city that is Texas tough in its desire to innovate and lead. The Mirador Group are visionaries in their ability to design into the future anticipating lifestyle desires. Sudhoff Companies have their finger on the pulse of Houston, bringing a deep understanding of where people want to live and how they want to shape their lives. And Steel Street in The Upper Kirby District is a pinnacle address offering curated neighborhood amenities. This perfect combination on its own is guaranteed to create a world-class address in Houston. But add to this the culture, craftsmanship, history, and artistry of Giorgetti, a century old Italian design firm recognized by sophisticates for its handcrafted furnishings and cabinetry, and you have more than a residence. Giorgetti’s residences are an elite culmination of a singular lifestyle that will be appreciated by only 32 lucky families. Like Houstonians, Giorgetti Houston is a rare find – a bold mix of art and artistry for whom perfection is an obsession. WILL STOLZ | STOLZ PARTNERS

Like everything in Giorgetti’s portfolio, the Progetti chair is created to capture this essence of self-expression. The Italian word ‘progetti’ means planning for the future, and the Progetti chair’s sleek lines, lacquered beech wood legs, curvy back and soft-as-butter leather create a contemporary yet lasting design statement. Fashioned in 1987 by Centro Ricerche for Giorgetti, the Progetti chair recently took center stage at the 2017 Houston Chronicle Best Dressed Luncheon and Neiman Marcus Art of Fashion. This partnership alongside Giorgetti, allowed Houston trendsetter, Liz Stepanian, to take home the Progetti chair, along with a delightful trip to Milan for an exclusive tour of Giorgetti’s Atelier house. Congratulations Liz!
The latest MARKET UPDATE Thank you for your support and confidence in this incredible development.

As is typical once a project has achieved the “go-ahead” the pace of sales will now increase even further. Our goal is to create a joyful and meaningful experience for our buyers as they transition from their current residences to a new life of carefree luxurious convenience. We are grateful that many of you have already referred friends and family members to us and they will soon become your neighbors at Giorgetti Houston.

A TASTEFUL GATHERING
The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home. At Giorgetti Houston, the kitchen is not only the heart, but anima e corpo, the heart and soul of your home. From the handcrafted Giorgetti designed cabinetry to the perfection of Gaggenau engineering to the exceptional finishes and one-of-akind Listone Giordano flooring your kitchen beckons as the center of life well-lived. As the art of entertainment is important to Giorgetti Houston homeowners, a group of residents were recently invited to gather with Gaggenau chefs to explore the possibilities of cooking and entertaining with finesse. From selfproclaimed gourmet aficionados to novice chef’s the homeowners laughed, prepped, cooked, sipped wine, and laughed some more! Delicious food, fine friends, the lifestyle of Giorgetti Houston.
YOU’RE INVITED
Owning a home at Giorgetti Houston is membership into an exclusive inner circle. Surrounded by those who share your passion for inspiration and fine details, buyers are graciously invited to visit Giorgetti’s Atelier house in Milan and tour the factory in Meda, where it all began. As the guest of Giorgetti, you will enjoy a two-night stay in deluxe accommodations, and a personal tour of the Atelier and factory where you can learn about Giorgetti’s history and commitment to produce the most sophisticated pieces of art. Meet the artists behind the inspiration and see what makes Giorgetti’s work among the most coveted by collectors. The first trip was well received by our homeowners. A second trip has been scheduled for late September. We are very excited to provide our homeowners with the complete Giorgetti experience.
