Construction crews have started demolition work for the Leland South Congress, Intracorp’s mixed-use project at 2121 South Congress Avenue.
The seven-story, mixed-use project at South Congress Avenue and East Live Oak Street will have 270 residences, a mix of studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums and penthouses. Community amenities will include a pool, a private garden, a pet grooming and play area, a library, coworking lounges, and a fitness center.
Michael Hsu Architecture's team will also design and program the Leland's 22,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space, which will be anchored by a 6,000-square-foot outdoor dining paseo.
Houston's Kirksey Architecture is lead architect on the project, with Nudge Design guiding the landscape architecture. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing will oversee sales and marketing for the residences, and Shop Companies will conduct marketing and leasing for the ground-level retail. Leifer Properties, Northland Properties, and ARON Industries are also partners on the project.
The Leland will replace the Focused Care at Stonebriar retirement home at 110 E. Live Oak Street as well as two auto repair shops. Demolition work is expected to take about two to three months.
