Houston, TX – October 27, 2026 – McGrath Real Estate Partners is proud to share that Artistry Design District has been named a Merit winner in the Garden-Style category of the 2026 Multifamily Executive Awards.
Multifamily Executive received more than 240 nominations this year, and its judges selected 26 winners across 14 categories. Artistry was recognized for bringing a creative edge to infill garden-style living in Houston.
The 400-unit community was conceived as an extension of its neighborhood rather than a standalone development, with a site plan and architecture that put shared spaces, walkability and connection first. At its heart is an open-air event stage for live music and entertainment that makes Artistry a social and cultural destination. Residents also enjoy a resort-style pool with a jumbotron, coworking and Wi-Fi lounges, private office pods, a social lounge with a fireplace, a complimentary clubhouse coffee bar, a fitness center, a pet park and paw spa, expansive green space, and direct bike routes to Memorial Park.
"Artistry Design District was designed to capture the creativity and energy of Houston's Design District, not simply replicate a traditional apartment community," said Barrett Kirk, Chief Investment Officer at McGrath Real Estate Partners. "The architecture, interiors and amenity spaces were thoughtfully designed to create a strong sense of place, with the unique outdoor amphitheater and stage serving as a center for entertainment, connection and community. This recognition is a meaningful validation of that vision and our commitment to creating a truly differentiated residential experience."
Thank you to the partners who helped bring Artistry to life: The Clerkley Watkins Group and Meeks + Partners (architecture), Red Mills Development Partners (construction), Kathy Andrews Interiors (interior design) and Asset Living (property management).
Winners will be celebrated at the Multifamily Executive Conference in Newport Beach, California, on November 4.
