New 234-unit luxury complex to feature one- two- and three-bedrooms at affordable prices

JLL announced today that Smart Living at Texas City, LP (SLTC), a limited partnership controlled by developers Ronny Hecht and Avi Ron, has purchased 9.4 acres at 3210 Gulf Freeway in Texas City, Texas. The company plans to build a 234-unit Smart Living-branded apartment complex on the site.

The Class A apartment community, designed by Ted Trout Architects, will feature beautiful one- two- and three-bedroom garden-style units along with several two- and three-bedroom townhomes. All will feature spacious floor plans with modern touches throughout including granite or quartz countertops, nine-foot ceilings, garden tubs, and full-size washers and dryers.

“Smart Living communities blend luxury with value and convenience,” Hecht said. “Our residents enjoy the sought-after amenities of a first-class apartment in the inner loop of Houston, at a much more attractive and affordable price point.”

Additional amenities will include energy efficient appliances, tankless water heaters, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a resort-style pool, a clubhouse with gourmet kitchen, and outdoor entertaining areas with plenty of greenspace and a dog park.

The site, which is located on the northbound side of Interstate 45 at FM 1764, was formerly home to First Baptist Church of Texas City. Construction is scheduled to begin in October of this year and be complete in the fourth quarter of 2020.

“Texas City has welcomed us into their community and showed a willingness to accommodate our building of a first-class apartment community there,” Hecht said. “It’s been a pleasure working with them throughout permitting and review of construction documents, and we are excited to break ground in the near future.”

JLL’s Chris Bergmann Jr. represented the seller, First Baptist Church of Texas City. The sales price is undisclosed.
