AHEAD OF APRIL 13 PUBLIC GRAND OPENING EVENT, THE GRAND PRAIRIE IN HOCKLEY, TX UNVEILS MODEL HOME PARK FEATURING EIGHT ELEVATED RESIDENCES FROM FIVE TOP BUILDERS
HOUSTON, TX – March 5, 2024
EMBER Real Estate Investment & Development, a Houston-based private real estate investment and development firm specializing in land acquisition and delivery of master-planned communities, industrial and select residential projects, today announced the debut of the inaugural model home park at The Grand Prairie in Hockley, TX.
The one- and two-story model homes highlight offerings from each of the community’s five distinguished builders: David Weekley Homes, Perry Homes, Sitterle Homes, Village Builders, and Westin Homes. Situated at 16503 Verbena Glen Drive, the model home park is now open daily for tours. Hours for each home can be found here.
The showcase of eight, furnished residences readies the nature-focused, master-planned community on 1,730+ acres of rolling and picturesque landscape – minutes from Cypress and just 36 miles northwest of Downtown Houston – for its public grand opening event. Free to attend and open to all ages, The Grandest Opening will take place on Saturday, April 13 from 11 am to 3 pm and feature complimentary snacks and refreshments, multi-faceted and interactive activations, live music, surprise programming elements and Insta-worthy installations perfect for capturing the moment.
“After years of careful planning, design, and construction, we're very excited to welcome guests to The Grand Prairie. Our newly unveiled model homes offer a variety of styles, functionality, and sizes; and our soon-to-be-finished welcome center presents a glimpse into the future community life residents can experience. Our goal is to strike that fine balance between something new and exciting, coupled with the natural beauty of the prairie, providing that breathing room from the noise and stress of the highway and city, yet still offering ease of access to dining, retail, culture, and entertainment. We are all really proud of our entire team and building partners," stated Jeb Kolby, EMBER director of development.
The initial phase of The Grand Prairie will include 481 homes with the first closings slated for later this quarter. Amenities will include a one-of-a-kind welcome experience (slated to debut in late spring 2024), the Sundancer amenity center (anticipated to open in spring 2025), eight miles of interconnected trails, the 70-acre, kayak-friendly Lake Ember, five smaller lakes and 450 acres of dedicated park land that will include a number of pocket parks, including The Overlook, a 40-foot hill at the heart of the community. The Grand Prairie will also soon have an onsite Waller ISD elementary school along Baethe Rd. that will offer young residents the opportunity to walk or bike to school on a daily basis.
Homes in The Grand Prairie range in price from the upper $200s to the $600s+ and are available on 40- 45-, 50- and 60-foot homesites.
