Market Apartments

Apartments for Artists

Sitting vacant for over a decade, Conifer envisioned and implemented the transformation of the historic Corpus Christi School into affordable, state-of-the-art apartment homes – some within the historic portion of the existing building and the remaining in a new addition, all under one roof. Market Apartments at Corpus Christi has positively impacted the East Main Arts and Market District by offering local artists a place to create, collaborate and live. This unique development maintains the historic landmark’s original character while offering residents brand new, spacious, one and two-bedroom units to live, and a 2,600 square foot art studio to practice their medium of choice where they live.

Market Apartments recently participated in a popular art and community intervention project, “Wall Therapy.” A team of artists from all over the United States select key locations to create public murals as a means to transform the urban landscape, inspire and build community.

“This development, in addition to being attractive and revitalizing that portion of East Main Street, also served a greater purpose in emphasizing and celebrating our artists and creative community members, of all ages. This apartment complex affords our artists and their families the opportunity to live safely and attractively with other creative types and to also have access to a studio and a presence for practicing music and creating art, in all its forms.”
-Elaine Spaull, Former Councilwoman of the East District.
