The Randall family, a generational landowning family, will self-develop the Homeplace master-planned community on a 2,000-acre parcel of land in Montgomery County.

Chad Rochester, founder of Rochester Development, will serve as an advisor for the project. Phase one of development spans 446 acres, with two phases to follow.

“We want to be thorough and create a development that is attractive and cultivates a sense of community,” family spokesman Will Randall said in a press release. “We want to bring back the block party for a community where it’s easy to meet the neighbors. We want to create something our entire family will be proud of.”

Rochester plans to break ground on Homeplace early next year and deliver initial lots to builders in 2027. Two schools are already open in the community: Lake Creek High School and Creekside Elementary.

“Homeplace provides an extraordinary setting for a community built to last,” Rochester added. “Guided by its rolling hills wooded areas and natural waterways, we’re creating a distinctive community that preserves the land’s legacy and offers families a place to thrive for generations.”

Planned amenities include hiking and biking trails.
