Venetian Pines in Conroe underway

Bold Fox Development has secured property for a new planned community with a second development in the works, according to a press release.

Both communities will take an approach that pulls the best from older, successful master-planned communities while incorporating fresh concepts meaningful to today’s homebuyer.

“Yesterday’s master-planned communities were typically centered on golf courses,” said Bold Fox Development Managing Shareholder Alex Kamkar in a press release. “Playgrounds with big yellow slides and traditional playground equipment were typical amenities. We’re taking a look at what lifestyle looks like right now.”

According to Kamkar, Bold Fox Development communities will place an emphasis on opportunities to be outdoors, whether connecting with nature on solo adventures or with neighbors. “We want to use innovative land planning that will create the canvas for the American dream,” Kamkar said.

The development’s first project — Venetian Pines in Conroe —is set to begin pre-sales late this year with the first homes underway early in 2021.

The 45-acre community will feature 200 40-foot homesites with pricing from the $190,000s to the $260,000s. Key amenities will include walking trails and an amenity lake.

According to Kamkar, the pandemic is helping home buyers refocus their priorities.

“People are leaving congested areas and looking for places in more rural and suburban areas that have natural features,” Kamkar said. “That’s been a priority for us from the very start.”
