Morgan Group has started construction on its latest Pearl branded luxury apartment complex.
Pearl Washington is being developed at the corner of Washington Avenue and T.C. Jester, between downtown and Memorial Park.
The 5-story building will have 322 one-, two- and three-bedroom units over two levels of parking, the developer announced Tuesday. Units will range from 652 square feet to 1,443 square feet and each will have a balcony. Amenities will include a resort-style swimming pool with private cabanas and sun decks, two courtyards, a dog park and a bocce court.
Morgan, and co-developer LCB Holdings, plan to open in the complex in spring of 2016. Wells Fargo provided construction financing, and Dwell Design Studio is the architect.
Morgan president Alan Patton said Houston’s economy continues to support strong employment growth and a growing population of Millennials — a key demographic targeted by apartment builders.
“The city registered the largest population increase of any U.S. metro area in 2013 and has been one of the top job destinations for recent college graduates since 2006. Those demographics are perfect for Pearl Washington,” Patton said in a statement.
