In a significant development for Corpus Christi’s real estate landscape, Whitecap NPI has announced the selection of Azali Homes and Newcastle Homes as the builders for its Showcase of Homes. This decision marks a crucial step forward in the creation of Corpus Christi’s first master-planned community, set to transform the north end of Padre Island.
Construction of the Showcase of Homes is scheduled to begin in December 2024, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. These custom-designed homes are poised to redefine coastal living by seamlessly integrating with the natural beauty of the island environment.
Sara Azali, CEO and owner of Azali Homes, expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting their 20 years of experience building along the Texas Coast. Newcastle Homes’ president, John Pope, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the unique opportunity to create homes that reflect both quality craftsmanship and the island lifestyle.
The homes in the Showcase will feature a range of impressive amenities. Newcastle Homes will construct three-story floor plans designed by Place Designers, spanning from 2,358 to 2,787 square feet. Azali Homes will build two and three-story plans by Will & Fotsch Architects, offering between 2,651 and 3,976 square feet of living space. Residents can look forward to luxurious features such as rooftop terraces, elevators, pools, summer kitchens, boat docks, and high-end appliances.
Whitecap NPI’s ambitious plan encompasses 240 acres and will offer over 600 residential options, including single-family homes, villas, condos, and cross-generational housing. Many of these homes will have canal access, catering to boating and water sports enthusiasts. The community’s design incorporates island enclaves connected by bridges, boardwalks, and pathways, fostering a unique neighborhood atmosphere.
A standout feature of the development is a 30-acre nature preserve, designed to restore the natural barrier island habitat and provide a sanctuary for various species. This commitment to environmental preservation aligns with the builders’ appreciation for the area’s natural beauty.
Terence Johnson, executive vice president and general manager at Ashlar Development, emphasized that this selection of builders is a crucial step in realizing the vision for Whitecap NPI. The development aims to not only transform the Texas Gulf Coast but also bring new services, improved water quality, and infrastructure to the community, while generating significant revenue for the city.
The groundbreaking for this master-planned community took place in May 2023, initiated by Diamond Beach Holdings LLC in collaboration with Ashlar Development LLC. Currently, homesites are available for sale, with support from Strategyst LLC.
This development represents a significant milestone in Corpus Christi’s urban planning and real estate sectors. It promises to set a new standard for coastal living in Texas, combining luxury amenities with environmental consciousness. The project is expected to have a substantial economic impact on the region, attracting new residents and potentially boosting tourism.
For potential homeowners and investors, Whitecap NPI offers a unique opportunity to be part of a pioneering community that balances modern living with coastal charm. The involvement of experienced local builders ensures that the homes will be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of coastal residents.
As the first master-planned community in Corpus Christi, Whitecap NPI is poised to become a benchmark for future developments in the area. Its success could pave the way for similar projects along the Texas Gulf Coast, potentially reshaping the region’s approach to residential planning and coastal development.
