Energy Corridor: Sueba Starts Multifamily Project

In Houston, Sueba USA is expanding its portfolio of Energy Corridor projects with the addition of its next upscale multi-family community, San Estrella, located on a nine-acre site at 13475 Rincon Drive near the northwest corner of Eldridge Parkway and Westheimer Road.

Now under construction, San Estrella marks Sueba’s fourth multi-family project in the Energy Corridor submarket where, in the past 25 years, the Houston residential and commercial developer has added more than 2,000 single-family luxury homes and two, grocer-anchored centers.

The 318-unit San Estrella will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom plans with “soft-loft” features of open living spaces, high ceilings, oversized windows, island kitchens, high-efficiency appliances and modern building technologies. The property also is set to feature detached garages, including several with charging stations, and private storage rooms.

The firm reports communities with 22,368 units were opened in Houston during the past 12 months. Another 64 communities with 16,954 units are under construction.
