Houston Home Builder Taylor Morrison Announces Purchase of 700+ Homesites in Woodforest
Home Builder Will Introduce Its First 55+ Neighborhood in Texas at Montgomery County Master-Planned Community.
Houston, TX, August 29, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Taylor Morrison has taken a major stake in the master-planned community of Woodforest in South Montgomery County, the company announced today.
According to company officials, Taylor Morrison will build homes in its first 55+ community in the Houston area at Woodforest, signaling a new era for the builder and the four-year-old development. The builder disclosed that it will purchase more than 700 homesites from Johnson Development Corp. with sales beginning in early 2014.
“Woodforest is a community with a unique vision, situated in an area that is one of Houston’s hottest submarkets,” said Jonathan White, division president of Taylor Morrison’s Houston division. “It’s truly a unique area for Houston residents and an area we feel dovetails nicely for our planned 55+ community.”
Virgil Yoakum, Woodforest’s general manager, says there is a need in Montgomery County for a development that caters to the 55+ market.
“We have seen substantial interest from the 50-plus buyer, especially locally,” said Virgil Yoakum, general manager of Woodforest. “Approximately 54 percent of our sales come from Montgomery County and of those, 50 percent are over age 50.”
While still in its planning stages, Taylor Morrison has committed to building homes in a 55+ community that will complement the surrounding neighborhood, drawing on what the company sees as a pent-up demand for active-adult lifestyle in the South Montgomery County area.
“The Johnson Development Corp. has strong ties with Taylor Morrison, having welcomed them into our top-selling neighborhood of Riverstone to impressive success,” said Doug Goff, Chief Operating Officer of the firm. “We anticipate another successful partnership as we work together to develop this exciting active-adult community.”
“Our vision is to create the next generation of 55+ neighborhoods, designing a community that resonates with the boomer generation while offering the amenities of any first-class community,” White said. “Woodforest gives us the perfect platform to launch such a concept.”
Among the nation’s 20 top-selling master-planned communities, the 3,000-acre Woodforest is tucked within the area’s signature pine and oak forest, but is still just minutes from the 22,000-acre Lake Conroe as well as The Woodlands Mall, Market Street, the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and nationally recognized regional health care facilities. Woodforest offers numerous amenities, including the 27-hole Woodforest Golf Club, parks, playgrounds, miles of trails and the 3-acre Lily Pad Spray Park.
Forest Island, a planned 16-acre tennis and aquatics center located in the heart of the community, recently unveiled its first tennis courts and basketball court. A free-form amenity pool debuts this summer, complete with a slide tower, spray area, baby pool and a unique main pool designed to create the impression of multiple pools.
