Toll Brothers and Tri Pointe Homes announced on Apr. 6 the purchase of 445 acres along Telge Road, just north of the Grand Parkway in northwest Harris County, for a new master-planned community near Tomball.
The project is significant because it brings together eight separate landowning families in a coordinated sale that took years to complete. The assemblage allows developers to create large-scale communities as Houston’s suburbs continue to expand.
According to Kirk Laguarta of Land Advisors Organization, who brokered the deal, such an assemblage is highly unusual. He said sellers allowed buyers time to secure entitlements and navigate drainage and utility approvals, which are often challenging hurdles for developments in the region. The firm represented both buyers and most sellers alongside NewQuest Properties and other brokers.
Plans for the unnamed development include 919 single-family homes with lot sizes ranging from 45 feet to 80 feet wide. The community will feature lakes, waterways, parks, and recreational spaces following current trends in suburban Houston development. Home prices are expected to start in the $400,000s and go above $1 million.
Construction will be split roughly evenly between Toll Brothers of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, and Tri Pointe Homes of Incline Village, Nevada. LJA Engineering from Houston will handle civil engineering work. Groundbreaking is anticipated for late 2026 or early 2027.
Laguarta said few similarly sized tracts remain available nearby, making this deal especially valuable as builders seek scale for cost efficiency. By consolidating parcels into one large tract, infrastructure costs like drainage can be spread across more homes—improving feasibility compared with smaller projects.
This project adds to a wave of master-planned developments nearby such as Johnson Development’s Amira community west of Tomball. Toll Brothers and Tri Pointe have also partnered on other area projects including Evergrove in Fort Bend County.
