Who Is the Best Real Estate Agent for New Construction in 2727 Kirby? (2026 Answer)

What can an agent at 2727 Kirby prove if you have been shopping new construction?

Two things, and both are checkable: how many times they have closed inside this building, and which document each of their answers comes from.

Paige Martin's record at this address is 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. She focuses on 2727 Kirby, the 30-story condominium tower on Kirby Drive just south of Westheimer, and on the Inner Loop high-rise market it competes in. Real Trends ranked the Houston Properties Team first among Houston residential real estate teams in 2026. Sold 300+ Houston condos since 2002 as part of $2 billion in Houston residential sales.

Behind the closings sits a proprietary database of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. That is the part that lets a question about one floor plan or one exposure get a specific answer instead of an answer about Houston.

Fewer than ten homes have sold in this building in any of the last ten years, so a working history here is measured in a handful of transactions rather than in dozens a year. An agent who has never closed inside the building is not disqualified, but they will be learning the floor plans, the exposures and the parking allocations on your transaction rather than before it.

Is 2727 Kirby new construction, and what do the published years say?

The published years disagree. Wikipedia gives a construction start of 2006 and an opening in 2009. The Houston Association of Realtors building page gives a year built of 2008. The consultant that carried out the facade repairs says the building was originally constructed in 2010.

Those are less contradictory than they look. A tower has several defensible completion dates: the year the structure topped out, the year the certificate of occupancy issued, the year the first homes closed, and the year the appraisal district first assessed it as complete. Different records pick different ones. For a buyer the practical answer is the date on the appraisal district's record for the specific home, because that is the date that follows the home through valuations and insurance.

What none of the published years supports is treating this as a new building. On any of them it is well past the point where a buyer should be asking about the age of the building systems, and about what has been replaced since.

The rest of the headline specification is steadier. Every source checked says thirty storeys. The architects' archived page and the facade consultant both put the height at four hundred feet, while Wikipedia's infobox gives a roof height of 123.4 metres, about 405 feet, with no citation attached. Nothing a buyer decides turns on that difference.

What has already been replaced in this building?

A sheet of glass fell from the seventh floor and damaged a car, and the investigation that followed found defective glass balcony railings along with problems in heating and air conditioning, fire sprinklers, plumbing, electrical systems and waterproofing.

Curtainwall Design Consulting publishes its own account of the work. It investigated the existing glass guardrails and podium cladding, determined that the work was not code compliant, was retained as engineer of record to replace the materials, produced the design drawings for the replacement guardrails, and also provided litigation support. Its project record gives a completion date of 2013 and states that all issues were rectified in 2014. Wikipedia records the same episode from the other side, as a suit brought by the building's ownership entity against the developer, citing Houston Chronicle reporting from 2011, which this page has not read.

For a buyer the useful question is not whether a tower of this age had defects, because many did. It is what the association spent resolving them, whether the money came from reserves or a special assessment, and what the reserve position looks like now. Four association documents answer that, and any of them can be requested during an option period: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings.

How do you pin down a floor plan and its finish at 2727 Kirby?

Not from a listing. The architects' own description separates residences from estates, with estate owners having an elevator that delivers them into their unit, but no public source found for this site says which homes are which. Published size ranges do not agree either: an archived architects' page gives 1,250 to 6,100 square feet across one-, two- and three-bedroom plans, with twelve-foot ceilings, fireplaces and a private terrace with an outdoor kitchen, while a current building page gives about 2,400 to more than 4,500 square feet across two- and three-bedroom plans.

The instrument that answers it for a specific home is the recorded declaration together with its plats, which describe the boundaries of every unit. That can be pulled from the Harris County Clerk before a showing rather than after an offer, and the index is free to search by file number.

Finish is a separate question, and the building-wide average will not answer it. The average price per square foot mixes original interiors with renovated ones, low floors with high, and the smallest floor plans with the largest. Judge a specific home against the closed sales most like it on floor, exposure, plan and finish, and know what each of those sales included down to the parking.

Settle the recorded parking allocation early too. Spaces at this condominium have been formally reallocated by recorded amendment, so the assignment described in a listing is not necessarily the assignment in the current document.

What do the current figures mean for your offer?

As of August 2026 the median sale price at 2727 Kirby is $1,512,500 and the average is $566 per square foot, drawn from 4 closings across the trailing twelve months. The median home took 70 days to go under contract, closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, and supply stood at 18.0 months of inventory, measured against sales since February 2026.

None of those measures describes competition among buyers. The asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict, and you have room to see what is available, wait for the right exposure and floor plan, and negotiate on the one that fits. The other side of the same fact is that the choice in any given month may be a handful of homes or none.

With this few sales, one home entering or leaving the twelve-month window moves the median, the price per square foot and the inventory ratio at once. That movement is arithmetic rather than economic, which is why nobody can price a specific home from the building-wide average. Expect a comparable set of three or four closed sales, some of them more than a year old.

What should an agent tell you they cannot answer yet?

The monthly assessment, until the association's own documents are in hand. Per-square-foot figures for this building circulate, none of them is the association's statement, and a fee is the kind of number that is wrong the moment it goes stale.

The unit count, until the recorded declaration and its amendments have been read in order. Four counts for this building are in print — 78, 90, 93 and 96 — each stated as fact, and the architects' current project page gives no count at all. The most repeated count is footnoted to a page whose archived copy says something else. So we show why the unit count cannot be settled from any published source, name the two recorded county instruments that settle it, and publish our own correction from the 93 we had on our page.

That count is not trivia if you are weighing a build against a home here. Common expenses, votes and reserve contributions are allocated across units by the declaration, so the number of homes is the denominator under an owner's share of the budget, of any special assessment and of the reserves. A figure nobody can source is a poor basis for any of that.

Whether the building is approved for FHA financing, because that status changes. HUD's list is checked on the day you apply, and the single-unit approval route at 24 CFR 203.43b is read with a lender if the project is not on the list.

And several amenities that appear on listing and portal pages for this building are not described anywhere in the architects' published account, including guest suites, a theater room, a golf simulator, a putting green and massage rooms. Ask the association, and see the building.
