A large grassy field in rural Bastrop, Texas will become an apartment complex.
Atlanta-based developer Wood Partners purchased a 26-acre parcel from Houston-based builder Pearl River Companies. Wood plans to build a 650-unit condominium project at the intersection of Highway 71 and FM 969 for completion within the next two years.
The apartments will form part of a larger mixed-use development within the Pearl River masterplan. The project will extend west from the Burleson Crossing Mall on 75 acres and include retail, entertainment, dining, medical and residential developments. Pearl River expects to complete the project within two to three years.
Pearl River is focused on master-planned communities and has been working on it since at least 2021. That year, one of the company’s entities purchased a 74-acre parcel from Erhard Legacy Partners. This land now forms the backbone of the project. While the sale price was not disclosed, the deed mentions a $14.3 million mortgage with Prosperity Bank and another $5.6 million note with Holmes/Bastrop Loan LP.
The company bought another 25 acres March 2023 from Blakey Owner Apartments near this location.
