Johnson Development’s Grange master-planned community in Katy has entered its second phase, with construction and sitework underway on an additional 500 homesites and a 20-acre amenity center.

The new lots range from 40 feet wide up to 85 feet wide. The larger lots, which are new to the MPC, are suited for alley-access garages.

Builders in this second phrase — including Highland Homes, J. Patrick Homes, David Weekley Homes, Newmark Homes, Chesmar Homes, Perry Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Westin Homes and Partners in Building — will receive 483 lots before the end of the year.

“This is an exciting new chapter and a natural progression in our development of Grange,” the community’s vice president and general manager, Jacob Rice, said in a press release. “The demand is there for larger homesites which will allow our residents to move into more spacious homes in the community as their family needs dictate.”

Construction is also underway on Ricestead, Grange’s 20-acre amenity center. Plans for the project include a resort-style pool, lap pool, pickleball and basketball courts and the Harvest Hall clubhouse, which will feature a fitness center and a co-working area. Space is also reserved for future retail offerings and a village green.

“We view Ricestead as a modern-day town square where businesses and residents become true partners,” Rice added. “We envision people meeting for coffee, shopping local merchants and attending a concert or farmers market at the village green. Ricestead will move Grange from being a neighborhood to becoming a hometown.”

Grange is currently home to over 500 residents in hundreds of new homes. Pricing in the community starts in the $300,000s.
