A new master-planned community north of Houston will cover 8,000 acres and include 20,000 single-family homes.
"A local development group has acquired 8,000 acres of land in far northwest Harris County for what is expected to become a large master-planned community. The deal represents one of the largest land sales ever in Harris County... If the project is built as planned, it would rank in a league with First Colony, Clear Lake City and Sienna Plantation as one of the largest master-planned communities in the Houston area."
