MEEKS + PARTNERS DESIGNS LUXURY CONDO PROJECT

PORT ARANSAS, TEXAS — Houston-based architect Meeks + Partners has finished the design for The Palmilla at Port Aransas, a 30-acre luxury condominium community located on Mustang Island at Port Aransas. The project will include four residential buildings with 94 condos over structured parking. The buildings will contain a mix of two- and three-bedroom residences ranging in size from 1,441 to 1,830 square feet. The unit mix also will include eight four-bedroom penthouses averaging 2,584 square feet. The community will contain three levels of recreation amenities, including a game room with billiards, card tables and gaming systems; and Internet café with a coffee bar; a fitness center; and a large deck on the third level. Outdoor amenities include a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a resort-style, negative edge pool with tanning decks, poolside cabanas, and tropical landscaping. The project is owned and is being developed by San Antonio-based Koontz McCombs. Groundbreaking is expected to occur in spring 2009.
