Houston: Ascension rising to 280 units near CityCentre

HOUSTON – Ascension on the Bayou, a Class A, 280-unit apartment building, is underway. The building is located on 4.2 acres at 150 Sam Houston Pkwy. The property is one mile south of CityCentre and sits across from the east side of Terry Hershey Park.

Ascension features five stories of living over two levels of parking, one underground. The LEED Silver-certified building will be energy efficient and use brick, stone and metal materials in its construction.

Ascension will have one- and two-bedroom units with an average size of 950 sf. Each unit will have a balcony overlooking the bayou or an interior courtyard.

PRD is the developer of the project and expects to deliver the first units in early 2016. Construction began earlier this spring.

Common amenities will include a large clubhouse, multipurpose room, conference room, theater and fitness center. Outside, residents will be able to enjoy a patio with an outdoor grill and fireplace as well as a large courtyard with an infinity-edge pool.

To encourage walkability in this growing urban location, PRD plans to develop a pedestrian and bike path from Ascension under Beltway 8 to Terry Hershey Park.
