    Live the lagoon life at this master-planned community near Galveston

    CultureMap Create
    Feb 29, 2024 | 12:00 pm

    Imagine feeling like you're on vacation every day, without ever leaving home. It can happen when you live at Lago Mar, a 2,033-acre master-planned community in rapidly growing Texas City.

    Located on the southwest shoreline of Galveston Bay, Texas City is considered part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. But a stellar location is only one piece of Lago Mar's impressive puzzle. Here's what else you can expect from this resort-like community:

    The master plan

    Lago Mar encompasses 4,500 homes, several lakes, open areas, parks, and walking trails. Upon completion, the community will be home to approximately 14,000 residents.

    Prices for new homes begin in the high $200s and go through the $500,000s.

    White sand beaches surround the Caribbean-blue waters of Texas’ largest crystal lagoon. The 12-acre Lago Mar Crystal Lagoon is the tropical centerpiece of a 100-acre entertainment district.

    Residents of Lago Mar can also enjoy first-class dining that's walking distance from their home at the Blue Lagoon Bar & Grill. Indulge in great food and high-end cocktails while overlooking the turquoise waters and white‐sand beaches of Lago Mar's Crystal Lagoons amenity. With a menu that features treasured classics with modern nuances, the Blue Lagoon Bar & Grill is a feast for all senses.

    The community

    All of Lago Mar’s lavish amenities are within easy reach thanks to the GreenBoLT. This trail — ideal for electric golf-carts, bicycles, and segways — is pedestrian friendly, too. It allows you to dash to Amenity Village any time you have the urge for relaxation. You’ll go from doorside to poolside in minutes, and enjoy the ride along the way.

    Lago Mar residents are served by highly regarded schools in the Dickinson Independent School District. This fast growing “Destination District” has 13 campuses, as well as an “A” (Superior) rating from the Texas Education Agency for financial accountability. Many of the schools have earned coveted academic distinctions in the state’s mandated testing program. The district also offers outstanding programs in band, choir, dance, drama, art, and athletics.

    The homes

    Within Lago Mar, gorgeous homes crafted by recognized builders are set against a backdrop of palm trees, community lakes, and lush landscaping. Inviting planned amenities add to the appeal of this distinctive development.

    Boasting a prime Texas City location off Interstate 45 South in the Galveston-Clear Lake corridor, the homes for sale at Lago Mar are minutes from major employment centers and rich sources of entertainment.

    With shopping as close as the Tanger Outlet Mall near the Lago Mar entrance, and Kemah Boardwalk and the beaches of Galveston less than 30 minutes away, families can enjoy an unparalleled standard of living where life truly is a breeze.

    Sugar Land's first new apartment complex in 13 years breaks ground

    Pearl Lake Pointe is a 376-unit luxury apartment complex slated for early summer 2027 in Sugar Land.

    Sugar Land is welcoming its first new apartment development in more than a decade. Pearl Lake Pointe, a 376-unit luxury community from developers Morgan and Carlyle, is underway at 16435 Creekbend Drive.

    Construction began in November, with an official groundbreaking held this week. “The groundbreaking of Pearl Lake Pointe marks an exciting new chapter for the Lake Pointe peninsula,” Sugar Land Mayor Carol K. McCutcheon said in a statement. “After years of planning and collaboration with Morgan, this project delivers much-needed, high-quality multifamily housing and strengthens our long-term vision for a vibrant, connected district. This milestone will help drive continued reinvestment and momentum throughout Lake Pointe and across Sugar Land.”

    Set across 6.46 acres, the five-story complex will feature five live-work units, a six-story parking garage, and 9,940 square feet of commercial office space. Fitness centers, a resort-inspired pool, a golf simulator, a sky lounge, and a cafe are among the planned amenities.

    Inside the residences, features include open-concept floor plans, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, washers and dryers, and balconies in select units.

    “Pearl Lake Pointe is a unique opportunity to elevate the living experience and set a new benchmark for luxury in Sugar Land,” Kase Pappert, Morgan senior development manager, said. “We are grateful for the City’s partnership and look forward to helping re-energize the Lake Pointe peninsula with a welcoming community that feels like home and connects residents to the amenities right outside their door.”

    Roughly 20 miles from downtown Houston, the site has views of Brooks Lake and is adjacent to the former Fluor corporate campus currently being transformed into the Lake Pointe Green mixed-use development.

    The first Pearl Lake Pointe units are slated for delivery in early summer 2027. Morgan and Carlyle will own and manage the community, with project financing provided by Texas Capital Bank.

    “With Pearl Lake Pointe, Carlyle and Morgan are redefining multifamily living and adding meaningful momentum to address the demand for high-quality housing in the Sugar Land submarket,” said Adam Buchwald, Carlyle managing director and partner. “Partnering with Morgan — an accomplished developer with a strong track record — makes this project even more exciting, and Pearl Lake Pointe is a standout addition to Carlyle’s portfolio of high-quality multifamily developments.”
