New Hope Housing Files $19M, 80-Unit Little York Apartments

A $19.0 million, 80-unit apartment building named New Hope Housing Little York is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation at 5716 Little York Road in northeast Houston, 77016. The filing, dated Oct. 20, 2026, describes a four-story, 86,620 square foot new building.

Why it matters

The project name ties the filing to New Hope Housing, the Houston nonprofit developer of affordable and supportive housing. The owner of record on the same registration is Van Fleet Investments, LLC, a Sugar Land entity. The record does not explain the relationship, which is common when a nonprofit develops on land held by a separate owner or partnership entity. The filing also marks the project as involving public funds or public land, consistent with a subsidized deal. For builders and subs, 80 new units on the north side is a defined, funded scope.

The numbers

Registration TABS2027003961 lists an estimated cost of $19,000,000, about $237,500 per unit. The building totals 86,620 square feet, roughly 1,083 square feet per unit including common areas. GSMA, Inc is the design firm of record, and no tenant is assigned.

The registered schedule runs from March 31, 2027 to Nov. 30, 2028. Those dates are the filer’s estimate, not a commitment.

What’s next

A TABS registration is not a building permit. The next public records are City of Houston permits and any plat filing for the 5716 Little York Road site, since Houston has no zoning and the plat is the land-use step. The American Developer will update this story if New Hope Housing or Van Fleet Investments confirms the ownership structure. More at Houston.
