David Weekley Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Highland Homes, Newmark Homes and Westin Homes all have one model open; Perry Homes has two.

The project is a major step in the builder’s foray into self-developed communities.

The project will be the builder’s first active-adult undertaking in the Houston area as part of its Toll Brothers Regency line.

The surprisingly large decline in the pace of housing starts comes as builder sentiment remains depressed by tariff worries and high prices. 

Jim Carman, president of the Houston region for Howard Hughes, said the collection is meant to provide “urban-inspired” offerings for buyers who want to live in a “dynamic, walkable town center.”

The neighborhood, called Toll Brothers at Woodhavyn, is within walking distance of the planned Havyn Amenity Village, which will feature a pool, community center, playground and park.

“Lakeside Park Village includes the largest homesites we’ve developed in Fulshear Lakes thus far,” said Sam Yager III, vice president of Fulshear Lakes.

Model home construction will begin this summer, with sales slated to start this fall.

The parcel was purchased from The George Foundation last spring.

Plans for the district include 1,424 homesites, with 821 expected to be delivered during the first phase of construction in 2025 and early 2026.

Toll Brothers will release the Magnolia Collection, a new phase of homesites at the Woodson’s Reserve master-planned community in Spring.

The builder will offer six home designs on 60-foot lots, with prices starting in the upper $500,000s.

The pace of new-home construction was higher than economists expected, even as homebuilders expressed concern about the impact of tariffs and supply-side challenges. 

At the same time, the median sales price for a new home hit its highest level since 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.   

Toll Brothers will build 15 new homes on 70-foot lots in Sienna, a master-planned community in Missouri City.

At the same time, builder sales expectations for the next six months posted their second-largest drop since the sentiment index started in 1985.
