Montrose Site for Hybrid Housing Project

The Shelter Companies is starting work on a 238-unit, 381-bed residential multifamily project on approximately 1.09 acres in Houston’s Montrose district. The development, UNITi Montrose, will provide rental housing for people who may want a roommate. Shelter describes the project as a unique blend of co-living, shared common areas, and micro-units.

“UNITi Montrose will provide fully furnished units, flexible lease terms, Class A amenities, and all-inclusive rent payments that provide a frictionless experience to an evolving demographic of renters,” Shelter’s Mark Drumm said.  “We are seeing that renters are willing to share certain amenities in exchange for convenience, flexibility, and high-quality living, and this project provides just that.”

General contractor Arch-Con Corporation is constructing the six-story, 199,320-square-foot multifamily building stacked on a three-story, 109,000-square-foot cast-in-place concrete parking garage. Designed by Meeks Partners, the development includes 14,122 square feet of amenities, balconies, a fourth-floor pool and courtyard, and 4,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.
