HOUSTON – (Realty News Report) – Tarantino Properties bought the 280-unit Ascension on the Bayou, a mid-rise multifamily community located at 150 W. Sam Houston Parkway North in Houston.

The Ascension, completed in 2017, is 95 percent occupied.

The recently built podium-style property, which has one- and two-bedroom units, has a LEED Silver certification for energy efficiency and sustainability.
