Gulf Coast Workforce Lodging Portfolio

Foster Lewis Street, Port Arthur · Jefferson County, Texas

A 22.02-acre site inside the proven extended-stay cluster, roughly twenty minutes from the Motiva, Valero and TotalEnergies refineries and thirty minutes from Port Arthur LNG. Phase 1 delivers economy-to-midscale extended-stay lodging into the LNG staffing ramp and is designed to residential egress and life-safety code from day one, so it converts to studio and one-bedroom workforce apartments when the cycle fades. Phase 2 delivers duplex build-to-rent housing priced into the 60–85% AMI band, structured through a public facility or housing finance corporation partnership and platted as The Wharf Subdivision.

Port Arthur · Phase 2 platting

The Wharf Subdivision

The residential phase is drawn, not conceptual. Arceneaux Wilson & Cole, LLC is engaged as engineer of record on a 108-lot single-family subdivision across the Lewis Foster Drive frontage, with a lot-size variance filed with the City of Port Arthur for the 40-foot product and drainage designed to Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7 criteria.

Why this layout

One hundred eight lots ring a central detention lake, so the stormwater the district requires does double duty as the amenity every interior lot fronts. A single loop street with two access points onto Lewis Foster Drive keeps roadway and utility runs short — the largest controllable line item in horizontal cost — and the tract already sits inside the city limits with water, sewer and storm infrastructure in place at the frontage rather than a mile away.

Typical lots run 0.10 acre on 40-foot widths, with larger corner and terminus lots at 0.13 to 0.23 acre and a dedicated mail and signage lot at the entry. The layout is held to the duplex program: 108 lots supporting 216 rentable doors.

Engineering scope under way

  • Topographic and boundary survey tied to State Plane coordinates, with on-site benchmarks
  • Preliminary plat and lot layout, then a pre-development meeting with the City of Port Arthur
  • Lot-size variance application for the 40-foot-wide lot layout
  • Geotechnical investigation with pavement recommendations for construction
  • Drainage and detention design to Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7 criteria
  • Paving, potable water and sanitary sewer plan-and-profile construction documents
  • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, quantity takeoffs and bid packages
  • Final plat approval and recording with Jefferson County
