Toll Brothers and Tri Pointe have closed on a sprawling 445-acre tract off Telge Road just north of the Grand Parkway, setting the stage for a major master-planned neighborhood in northwest Harris County. Plans call for roughly 919 single-family homes on a range of lot sizes, targeting buyers from the mid-$400,000s to more than $1 million. Builders say the community is slated to feature lakes, parks and recreational space, with major site work expected to start this year and a formal groundbreaking aimed for late 2026 or early 2027. The acquisition ranks among the region’s largest recent land assemblages and signals yet another surge of large-scale development pushing into Tomball’s trade area.

According to The Real Deal, the 445-acre site was pieced together from eight separate landowning families and closed in a coordinated transaction brokered by Land Advisors Organization. Sellers agreed to give the buyers time to secure entitlements and work through drainage and utility approvals, concessions that helped make a project of this size pencil out.

What Builders Are Offering

Toll Brothers has branded its section as Toll Brothers at Oakhill Reserve and says site work is already underway. In a press release via Toll Brothers, the company highlighted amenities such as a resort-style pool, pickleball courts and walking trails. "We are thrilled to bring Toll Brothers at Oakhill Reserve to the Tomball area," Brian Murray, the builder’s Houston division president, said in the release. Tri Pointe’s community listings for Oakhill Reserve show 45- and 50-foot homesites, with pricing anticipated from the low-to-mid $400,000s, per Tri Pointe Homes.

Scale, Engineering and Timeline

Overall plans call for about 919 single-family homes on lots ranging from 45 to 80 feet, and Houston-based LJA Engineering is set to handle civil engineering work, according to The Real Deal. The developers are expected to split construction roughly evenly, with a groundbreaking penciled in for late 2026 or early 2027.

Where This Fits in the Region

The project slots into a growing cluster of master-planned communities near the Grand Parkway. A few miles to the west, Johnson Development’s 554-acre Amira community has been rolling out homes and amenities over the past year, according to Johnson Development. Together, these developments are reshaping northwest Harris County, bringing construction jobs and fresh retail prospects while ratcheting up pressure on roads, utilities and local schools.

Next Steps for Neighbors and Buyers

Sales and model-home openings will depend on how quickly entitlements and infrastructure work come together, and builders say they will release specific phasing and pricing details as new sections open.
