JLL Arranges Four-Year Veritex Construction Loan for New 214-Unit Clock Tower Residences in Houston Heights

A four-year construction loan arranged through Veritex Community Bank will finance the new Clock Tower Residences, a seven-story, 214-unit boutique multifamily building planned next to the historic Heights Clocktower in Houston. The borrower is a joint venture between Houston-based Radom Capital and Charlotte-based Asana Partners. Groundbreaking for the project has already taken place, and delivery is expected in 2027.

What the deal covers

The loan was arranged by JLL Capital Markets on behalf of the borrower. The financers and advisory team on the transaction include JLL’s Debt Advisory group led by Senior Managing Director Colby Mueck and Managing Director Michael Johnson, with support from Associate Davis Burnett and Analyst James Lovell. The total loan amount and pricing were not disclosed.

Project overview and location

Clock Tower Residences will add 214 traditional residential units, including four live-work units, as the residential component of an adaptive reuse and mixed-use plan that centers on the adjacent historic Heights Clocktower building at 611 W. 22nd St. The development site sits at the intersection of 23rd Street, North Shepherd Drive and Lawrence Street, directly across from the new Heights H‑E‑B supermarket and within walking distance of restaurants, parks and neighborhood shops along the Shepherd corridor.

Amenity and design highlights

The seven-story building will offer a range of community spaces and amenities intended to blend apartment living with a curated, boutique experience. Planned features include several resident lounges, coworking spaces, media rooms, a resort-quality fitness and wellness center, a yoga deck and a pool designed with a calm, understated aesthetic. Entertainment areas with a shared kitchen will be incorporated into the amenity program tied to the broader site.

The ground floor will include a neighborhood-focused food-and-beverage concept open to both residents and the surrounding community, and exterior design aims to extend a sustainable, walkable landscape from the street to elevated planted amenity decks.

Design and consulting team

The project’s design is the result of a collaboration among nationally recognized firms. Cobalt Office handled the building design with attention to scale, materiality and proportion for neighborhood fit. Interior design was led by Farouki Farouki with a layered, warm and tactile approach. Landscape design was provided by CultivateLAND, which focused on planted amenity decks and a lush, walkable ground plane to soften the urban edge and encourage community connection.

Developer background and context

The development represents Radom Capital’s first ground-up multifamily project and its 15th development in the Heights. Radom and Asana Partners already co-own and operate the adjacent historic clocktower building, a property dating back to 1894 that has been renovated over time for offices and retail. The new residential building is intended to complement the mixed-use activity around the landmark and strengthen the neighborhood’s retail and community offerings.

Timing and status

Construction has started and the project is slated for completion in 2027. The financing is structured as a four-year construction loan, enabling the development team to build out the seven-story structure, fit out the ground-floor food-and-beverage space, and complete landscaping and community amenities.

Why it matters

The project brings ground-up multifamily supply to a dense, walkable stretch of the Heights and ties directly into an existing adaptive reuse campus anchored by the historic clocktower. It pairs rental housing with community-facing retail and amenity spaces, reflecting growing demand for mixed-use neighborhood living in established urban corridors.
