Pelican Builders Starts Apartments at Pearland Mall, Market briefs

In Houston, Land on the periphery of Pearland Town Center mall will be the site of a 380-unit multifamily community developed by Houston-based Pelican Builders.

The apartment site was purchased from Pearland Town Center owner CBL Properties, a retail REIT based in Chattanooga, Tenn.

The apartments will be on the southern edge of the Pearland Town Center, which has Dillard’s, Macy’s, a 110-room Courtyard by Marriott, restaurants, walkable retail, and 234 existing residential units.

CBL’s Pearland Town Center is located 110 acres near the intersection of Highway 288 and FM 518

Pelican Builders new units will have one to two bedrooms each, ranging in size from 604 to 1,196 SF and include upgraded appliances, finishes and fixtures.

The architectural design incorporates a subtle nod to coastal influences, paying homage to the region’s proximity to the Texas Gulf Coast.

Pelican Builders selected Austin-based OHT Partners as the general contractor for the project.

Additional team members include: Architect: Meeks + Partners. Civil engineer: Kimley-Horn. Structural engineer: Integrity Structural Corp. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer: CFI Companies. Interior design: MP Studio. Landscape architect: KW Landscape Architects.

“As a Houston-based firm, we take pride in building communities that reflect the character and needs of the neighborhoods we serve,” said Drake Dominy, senior vice president of multifamily at pelican builders. “We are thrilled to be part of Pearland’s future and look forward to delivering a project that enhances the lifestyle of the community and its residents.”
