New Construction Communities in Fort Bend County
I’m also keeping track of several new developments across Fort Bend County, including:
Lake Pointe Green (Sugar Land) — A major mixed-use redevelopment transforming the former Fluor Corporation campus into a walkable district with residential, commercial, and outdoor spaces. The project recently broke ground in November 2025 on Pearl Lake Pointe, Sugar Land’s first new multifamily apartment community in 13 years, setting the stage for future housing, trails, and waterfront amenities around Brooks Lake.
Imperial Historic District (Sugar Land) – The City moves forward with redevelopment of the 40-acre Imperial Historic District, the former Imperial Sugar site. After acquiring the property in 2025, the city held community visioning workshops to gather feedback with a strong emphasis on preserving historic elements, especially the iconic Char House, and explore feasible future uses like townhomes, low- and mid-density residential and neighborhood retail. A final vision plan is expected by early 2026, followed by selection of a development partner to guide build-out.
The George (Rosenberg) — A 1,500-acre Johnson Development community located at the junction of Grand Parkway (99), Fort Bend Tollway, and US-59 near FM 2977 (Minnonite Road) and Koeblen Road.
