Life Tower

A 19-story tower on Main Street at the northern edge of the Texas Medical Center, Life Tower is leased as student and trainee housing rather than as conventional apartments: individual housing contracts, roommate matching and furnished units with custom furniture sets are all standard. That model fits a tenant base of medical and graduate students, residents and fellows drawn from institutions less than a mile away.

Amenities are organized around study and shared space — a rooftop clubhouse with an outdoor terrace, a 19th-floor study room, a 24-hour fitness center, a dog park, controlled access and refuse chutes on every floor. CLS Living manages the building for owner Vesper Holdings.

UT Health Houston is a four-minute walk and the Texas Medical Center Transit Center about the same, with the Dryden/TMC Red Line platforms under ten minutes on foot. Rice University, Hermann Park and the Houston Zoo are all reachable without a car.
