It’s a done deal! The roughly 240-acre master-planned community of Whitecap North Padre Island has received unanimous approval from the Corpus Christi City Council (NPI). Over 600 residential residences and homesites are planned for this $800 million development, along with more than 50 acres for a town center, a nature preserve, and other amenities.
Between the Gulf of Mexico and Laguna Madre, Whitecap NPI is a unique refuge that encourages enjoyment of and access to natural wildlife, including Kemp Ridley Sea Turtles and more than 380 migratory, over-wintering, and resident bird species.
This legacy project is being developed by Ashlar Development LLC and is owned by Diamond Beach Holdings, a fully owned subsidiary of International Bancshares Corporation.
Whitecap will be a unique and exciting new development that offers a water-centric way of life, modern, fresh house designs, and a thriving retail and commercial center within the neighborhood. Anywhere in the United States, the combined ambiance created by this once-in-a-lifetime concept will embody the next chapter in coastal culture. According to Steve Yetts, president of Ashlar Development, “It is destined to become the most prominent coastal community on the Texas Coast, if not the entire country.”
Whitecap NPI, which features coastal contemporary architecture everywhere, will raise the bar for seaside living. The residences are situated on island enclaves, providing distinctive neighborhoods connected to the rest of the community by bridges and pathways, many of which include canal access for boating and water sports.
The Whitecap NPI community is anticipated to have amenities like kayaking, paddle boarding, activity centers, pools, a nature preserve with walking trails, multimodal paths with golf cart access, a proposed luxury marina with state-of-the-art dry-stack boat storage, and a public town center with a planned resort-style hotel, shops, and restaurants, as we can see. The community is focused on scenic waterfront living, boardwalks, green space, and easy access to more than 52 acres of canals.
The Whitecap community will serve as a catalyst for economic activity on both the island and the mainland, according to Corpus Christi Mayor Paulette Guajardo. All locals will benefit from the new and expanded services, the better water quality and infrastructure, the bridge access for boats and walkers, and the large city revenue that will result from this high-quality development.
The Whitecap NPI site, which is on one of the longest undeveloped barrier islands, is essential to the prairies and marshes along the Gulf Coast where the nearby waters serve as a vital habitat for marine and terrestrial plants and animals throughout the year.
“IBC Bank has a long history of supporting South Texas by making investments there. We are dedicated to making Whitecap NPI a premier neighborhood in Corpus Christi and the surrounding area. We have always understood the significance of this site and how it might lead to favorable changes for Corpus Christi and North Padre Island. IBC Bank’s Director of Public Affairs Jennifer Hoff remarked, “As a result, we have been very cautious to build an engaging community where nature can balance itself alongside development for the long-term benefit of the environment, people, and visitors.
The infrastructure and canal network connecting the beach to the bay, which will serve as the community’s basis, are now being built. In the first quarter of 2023, there will be an opportunity to reserve lots by visiting http://www.whitecaplivingnpi.com
