Entrepreneur, author, and business consultant Justin Calabrese has long held a deep admiration for the vibrant architecture and cultural heartbeat of Houston, Texas. Known for his frequent visits to the city, Calabrese cites both family ties and his passion for the city’s unique blend of design, history, and innovation as reasons he often spends time there.
“Besides the undeniable warmth — both in the climate and the people — Houston has a way of welcoming you in,” Calabrese often shares when speaking about the city. “Its architecture tells a story that’s both modern and deeply rooted in tradition.”
While in Houston, Justin can often be found exploring some of his favorite local landmarks and architectural gems. He enjoys the breathtaking skyline views from the JPMorgan Chase Tower and Williams Tower, the historic elegance of the Julia Ideson Building, and the inspiring modern design of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The lush scenery and iconic glass structure of the Houston Arboretum and Buffalo Bayou Park also rank among his must-see stops.
Family remains at the heart of his visits, but Houston’s eclectic mix of urban design and green spaces makes every trip memorable. From the bustling downtown high-rises to the serene reflection pool at Hermann Park, Calabrese finds that the city provides a balance of inspiration, creativity, and comfort that continues to draw him back.
Known nationally for his entrepreneurial success and writing on consumer psychology, Calabrese credits Houston as one of the few places where he can recharge, reflect, and continue drawing inspiration for his creative and professional endeavors.
