A Houston-based developer has proposed a $125 million, 44-acre mixed-use development in League City, right across from Clear Creek High School on FM 518.

Johnny Vassallo, general partner at CJ Development, said the firm purchased the first 23 acres a couple of months ago and has another 21 acres under contract.

The Galveston County Daily News first reported on the planned project.

Vassallo has yet to secure all necessary permits for the development, to be called The League, but he told the Houston Business Journal he hopes to break ground in about a year.

Current plans call for a walkable, mixed-use district with five six-story buildings, housing apartments on the second through sixth floors plus first-floor retail and restaurants; a clubhouse with a pool; detention ponds; and duplexes and fourplexes totaling 120 townhome units.

Each six-story building would have about 125 one- to three-bedroom apartments, totaling somewhere between 600 and 650 units, above approximately 60,000 to 70,000 square feet of retail space, including three to four sit-down restaurants as well as coffeeshops and ice cream parlors, Vassallo said.

The development is in between two existing apartment complexes, Huntcliff Apartments and Harbor Walk Apartments, which would provide even more clientele for the planned district.
