\t\t\t\tAround 2,800 homes<\/a> are set to be developed on more than 1,000 acres near Baybrook Mall, which local officials say will continue to fill a need in the area.<\/p>\n

What you need to know<\/strong><\/p>\n

The development, titled Midline<\/a>, will be a residential project containing multiple parks and more than a dozen miles of trails, said Matthew McCafferty, senior vice president of operations for Brookfield Residential, which is building out the project in partnership with CDC Houston.<\/p>\n

Officials, such as McCafferty, as Brian Freedman, executive director for the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, or BAHEP, said the project is unique due to it sitting in the middle of an area already heavily developed.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not every day you have 1,000 acres where you can walk to a mall or a Perry\u2019s Steakhouse,\u201d McCafferty said. \u201cIt takes a massive amount of suburban before you have that kind of retail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCafferty said the development hasn\u2019t seen much pushback from residents. Concerns about traffic have been brought up, but officials believe the plans to extend various roadways in the area, such as Beamer Road, will help alleviate that.<\/p>\n

Freedman said the need for those houses comes from both the robust commercial developments in the area, as well as many of the developments in the area being older houses.<\/p>\n

The cost of the homes is expected to range from $400,000 to $700,000, McCafferty said.<\/p>\n

Local Realtor Deborah Bly said there is a need for housing in the area, particularly housing at a price that allows newer families to move into the area, which she said is typically in the $300,000s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there’s still value in the 400s. I definitely see value there,\u201d Bly said. \u201cIf they could get in the 300s, I think they\u2019re going to address more of a need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay tuned<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project has since begun construction with utilities, officials with Brookfield confirmed. The company is eying spring 2026 as when the first homes could go up for sale.<\/p>\n
