HOUSTON, TX (April 9, 2025) – Houston-based Pelican Builders is set to break ground this month on a highly anticipated multifamily development within the bustling Pearland Town Center community. This project, featuring approximately 380 residential units, represents one of the few multifamily communities to be built in Pearland in the last decade, offering an exciting new housing opportunity in the growing suburban market.
Pelican Builders, a firm known for its commitment to quality and thoughtful community design, worked closely with the City of Pearland to secure the necessary zoning approvals for the project located at 3200 Business Center Dr. Unlike Houston, where development is guided by ordinance codes rather than zoning regulations, Pearland requires developers to navigate a formal zoning and approval process, making this project a significant achievement.
Situated within Pearland Town Center, a thriving mixed-use destination featuring retailers such as Macy’s and Dillard’s along with an array of dining and entertainment options, the new multifamily community will provide residents with unparalleled walkability and convenience. The development will feature Class A amenities, including a resort-style pool, dog park, children’s play area, fitness center, business center, and direct access to a scenic walking trail.
Units will have one to two bedrooms each, ranging in size from 604 to 1,196 square feet and include upgraded appliances, finishes and fixtures.
“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.”
Strategically located approximately 20 minutes from the Houston Medical Center, the community is expected to attract a diverse range of residents, including medical professionals, first responders, educators, and other essential workers. The architectural design incorporates a subtle nod to coastal influences, paying homage to the region’s proximity to the Texas Gulf Coast. The light and fresh aesthetics create a welcoming atmosphere for future residents.
The site, purchased from CBL Properties, the master developer of Pearland Town Center, was presented to Pelican Builders by a multifamily broker approximately two years ago. Since then, Pelican Builders has worked diligently to bring the project to fruition, securing the necessary approvals and collaborating with top-tier partners to ensure a high-quality development.
Austin-based OHT Partners has been selected as the general contractor for the project. OHT Partners brings 15 years of multifamily construction experience to the table.
“Pelican worked long and hard to conceive a thoughtful project, and we look forward to our role in helping see this high-quality concept through to completion,” said Thomas Terwilliger, vice president of construction, with OHT Partners.
Construction for Pearland Multifamily is set to begin this month, with completion anticipated in the second quarter of 2026.
