McGrath Real Estate Partners has announced The James, a 279‑unit Class A multifamily community under construction within CamWesT Crossing, a master-planned mixed-use development in College Station, Texas. Located near the intersection of State Highway 47 and Health Science Center Parkway, The James will serve as a key residential anchor in the city’s growing BioCorridor.
Rising on approximately 9.73 acres, The James comprises 302,865 square feet of residential space across three-story, wood-frame buildings. The community will offer a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans tailored to young professionals, medical center employees, and residents seeking high-quality housing with convenient regional access.
Unit interiors are planned to match modern Class A suburban standards, with finishes and details designed to compete at the top of the local market. The buildings incorporate urban-oriented design features, including stoops on select street-facing first-floor units, reinforcing a walkable, neighborhood-scale streetscape within the larger master plan.
Residents of The James will enjoy a robust amenity package consistent with other recent McGrath communities, including a resort-style pool, a well-equipped fitness center, an outdoor amphitheater, and activated open spaces for gatherings and programmed events. These amenities are designed to complement the broader CamWesT Crossing vision, which is expected to feature office and commercial space, a boutique hotel, and additional community-serving uses.
CamWesT Crossing itself is envisioned as a walkable, mixed-use environment with common areas, green space, and waterfront features that support both daytime and evening activity. The James will connect directly into this framework, giving residents immediate access to future restaurants, services, and trails, along with proximity to the Texas A&M Health Science Center, School of Medicine, and nearby employment centers.
“Vertical construction is now underway at The James, and we are excited to bring a new Class A community to CamWesT Crossing and the BioCorridor,” said the McGrath team in prepared remarks. “This project reflects our strategy of delivering high-quality multifamily housing in locations where employment, education, and long-term growth are aligned.”
With vertical construction in progress, The James is moving toward initial deliveries, ultimately adding 279 new homes to the College Station housing supply and reinforcing McGrath Real Estate Partners’ long-standing presence in Texas markets.
