Homebuilders have begun construction in Indigo, a Fort Bend County master-planned community from Meristem Communities.
David Weekley Homes, Empire Communities and Highland Homes will build a total of 261 homes during the first phase of construction, with sales projected to start this May.
“We selected builders with Texas roots who align with the vision to create an array of homes that cater to all family formations, lifestyles and backgrounds,” Scott Snodgrass, founding partner at Meristem Communities, said in a press release. “Every element of Indigo encourages meaningful social interaction, from the homes to the public spaces, allowing everyone to play a part in the larger shared experience.”
David Weekley Homes will build 55 one- and two-story homes on 35- and 50-foot lots. The builder will offer 14 different floor plans ranging in size from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet.
Empire Communities will construct 17 one- and two-story cottages, which are smaller than single-family homes and do not include garages. They will offer four plans ranging from 939 to 1,416 square feet. Empire will also offer 38 three-story townhomes with shared walls and individual driveways.
Finally, Highland Homes will offer 61 one- and two-story homes with front garages on 50-foot lots and rear garages on 40-foot lots. Buyers will have their choice of 13 different floor plans ranging from 1,475 to 2,726 square feet.
“The homes will be comfortable and adaptable to accommodate a full range of people and lifestyles, but we also wanted these homes to draw people to the community overall and make them feel part of something larger,” said Clayton Garrett, another of Meristem’s founding partners. “We envision residents stepping out onto their porches and chatting with neighbors strolling by. We see children safely playing in front yards because garages are off private alleys in the back. The outdoor spaces are extensions of the homes and connective threads that support social interactions.”
Upon completion, Indigo will be home to over 800 residences, 42 acres of agricultural land and a 12-acre town center called Indigo Commons.
