This four-story multifamily community, featuring 334 residential units and an integrated clubhouse, reflects a seamless blend of classic design and modern comfort. The Caroline at Memorial was thoughtfully designed to deliver an upscale, cohesive living experience that stands apart within Houston’s Energy Corridor.
The project scope included 235,169 square feet of vinyl plank flooring and 61,494 square feet of tile within the residential units, providing a durable yet refined foundation throughout private living spaces. 4,465 square yards of Shaw carpet were installed in the corridors, adding warmth, acoustic comfort, and a polished transition between units.
High-quality finishes from industry leaders such as Shaw Commercial Carpets and Dal-Tile Corporation were carefully selected to ensure consistency, longevity, and visual harmony across all spaces. Subtle design details and thoughtful material transitions elevate the overall aesthetic while supporting the functional demands of a high-density residential environment.
The result is a sophisticated, welcoming community that balances timeless appeal with contemporary living. The Caroline at Memorial is positioned as a distinctive, one-of-a-kind residential destination, offering residents a refined place to call home.
