Mill Creek Announces Grand Opening of Modera Shepherd Apartment Homes
Development Community Adds 245 Apartment Homes/Loft Penthouses to Washington Corridor
HOUSTON – Dec. 12, 2018 – Mill Creek Residential, a leading multifamily investor and operator specializing in premier apartment communities across the U.S., today announced the grand opening of Modera Shepherd, a luxury apartment community in Houston’s flourishing Washington Corridor.
The community celebrated the official grand opening event Nov. 29, which included food and beverage from local vendors, a prize raffle for residents and event swag bags. The six-story community, which is surrounded by an abundance of world-class dining, shopping and nightlife options within Houston’s hippest neighborhoods, includes a combined 245 apartment homes and two-story loft penthouses. Move-ins began in the summer.
“With Houston’s booming employment sector and the influx of new residents, the delivery of new apartment homes is timely,” said Jeb Cox, Senior Managing Director of Houston and Austin for Mill Creek Residential. “We believe Modera Shepherd will provide one of the finest living experiences in the market, because it’s much more than a place to live. This community will cultivate an atmosphere that entices residents to frequent the amenity spaces and live a social lifestyle.”
Located at 611 Shepherd Drive and within minutes of the downtown Central Business District, the community offers quick connectivity to Downtown Houston’s thriving employment sectors and cutting-edge neighborhoods, such as Houston Heights and River Oaks. The Galleria, located about six miles from Modera Shepherd, is an upscale retail destination that attracts upwards of 30 million visitors per year. The community also boasts prime access to several recreational outlets, including Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou Hike and Bike Park.
Modera Shepherd residents have expedient access to Interstate 10, Memorial Drive and Allen Parkway, which connect to various landmarks and popular destinations across the metropolitan area. The Central Business District is home to nine Fortune 500 companies and 50 million square feet of office space, and emerging Greenway Plaza is within four miles of the community. Oil jobs are making a comeback, as well, which is driving more job growth to the city.
Modera Shepherd consists of studio, one- and two-bedroom homes with loft penthouse homes available. Apartment interiors offer elevated ceilings, granite countertops, wood plank-style flooring, stainless-steel appliances, front-loading washers and dryers and USB ports. Select homes include walk-in closets, separate dining areas, soaking tubs, pantries and private patios or balconies.
Community amenities are highlighted by a club-quality fitness center with Peloton Bikes, Woodway Treadmills and Cross Fit Virtual Trainers. Modera Shepherd also includes a resort-style outdoor swimming pool, rooftop sky lounge overlooking downtown, outdoor barbecue area, conference center, business center, pet spa and open-air lounge with pool, ping-pong and shuffleboard. Residents also have access to controlled-access subterranean garage parking, bike storage with repair station, self-serve package lockers and refrigerated package lockers for perishable goods.
Modera Shepherd is the fifth community that Mill Creek has developed in Houston. Others include Modera Flats and Astor Tanglewood.
