D.R. Horton plans to develop a new residential community on about 160 acres in South Houston, near Highway 288 and Orem Drive south of Sims Bayou.
The national builder will request variances at the Feb. 14 meeting of the city planning commission to not include public streets throughout the proposed gated community site. The new development named City Gate in agenda documents would be close to another D.R. Horton development, City Park, where homes start at $211,99. County appraisal records show D.R. Horton hasn’t yet bought the land for the nearly 160-acre project and requests for comment from D.R. Horton weren’t immediately returned. City Gate will be a few miles from the new $13 million Houston Sabercats rugby stadium under under construction and would sit west of about 150 acres owned by the Harris County Flood Control District. U.K-based engineering and software company Aveva Group PLC signed a three-year deal for naming rights for the new stadium at 12131 Kirby Drive. In February 2018, Houston City Council approved a $3.2 million deal where the Sabercats would lease 41 acres from the city-owned Houston Amateur Sports Park LGC Inc. to develop a new stadium. In December, New Jersey-based K. Hovnanian Homes asked the planning commission to replat a 15-acre tract near the rugby stadium site into 165 separate lots and 33 reserves for a development named Kirby Landing, the Houston Business Journal previously reported. D.R. Horton ranked first amount Houston-area homebuilders with 3,033 closings around Houston between Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2018, recent data from the housing research firm Metrostudy showed. The builder accounts for 13.38 percent market share across the region. Reported by the Houston Business Journal (Feb. 12, 2019)
