HOUSTON—Walkability is a key component for many new multifamily projects and the newest midrise is no exception. Pearl Washington is a luxury apartment located at the corner of Washington Avenue and T.C. Jester Boulevard, surrounded by Washington Avenue's restaurants and nightlife, Memorial Park and the popular Houston Heights neighborhood. Downtown and the Galleria/Uptown are only three miles away. “Since we started construction on Pearl Washington two years ago, the neighborhood has become an increasingly more attractive place to live," said Morgan vice president of development Philip Morgan . "With a front door on Washington Avenue, the property is within walking and biking distance to many destinations.” Pearl Washington has five stories, with 322 one-, two- and three-bedroom units over two levels of garage parking. All units, which range from 652 square feet to 1,443 square feet, have balconies. The apartment community is Morgan's latest luxury development, with amenities including open floor plans, USB charging ports, Nest thermostats, a business café, fitness club, private fitness studio, swimming pool with private cabanas and an expansive sun deck overlooking Washington Avenue and downtown. In addition, there are two more courtyards with hammock swings, a bocce ball court, grilling areas and a dog park. Morgan tells GlobeSt.com: “We strive to build upscale communities for our residents with our Pearl properties, not just places to stay. The attractive Washington Avenue area perfectly complements Pearl Washington's premium, eco-friendly amenities. When our residents want to venture out, many restaurants, bars, coffee shops and clubs are within walking or biking distance in addition to Memorial Park. Convenience comes with an apartment at Pearl Washington.” The community was co-developed with LCB Holdings Inc., and Wells Fargo provided the construction financing. Morgan specializes in multifamily development, construction and property management.
