Austin Point Unveils Phase One Builders and Visionary Land Plan in Fort Bend County
The Signorelli Company, a leading real estate developer based in Houston, has announced the builders and land plan for Phase One of Austin Point, a transformative 4,700-acre master-planned community in Fort Bend County. With construction progressing swiftly, the first phase will feature 421 homes from nine reputable builders, an innovative land plan emphasizing walkability, and The 1824, a vibrant social hub. Model home construction is slated to begin in April, with home sales expected this summer and the first residents anticipated to move in later this year.
Strategic Location and Smart Growth
Austin Point is positioned at the junction of the forthcoming extensions of Fort Bend Parkway and Grand Parkway (SH 99), ensuring easy access to the Texas Medical Center, Downtown Houston, and Hobby Airport. This strategic connectivity, combined with the community’s forward-thinking design, aligns with Fort Bend County’s commitment to sustainable and intelligent growth.
“Fort Bend County has been one of the fastest-growing regions in the state for decades, and Austin Point is designed to support the next wave of this growth,” said Danny Signorelli, CEO of The Signorelli Company. “A little over five years ago, we embarked on this 4,700-acre opportunity to deliver a major project for the region, which will be designed to support up to 50,000 residents and offer transformative commercial opportunity. Now, we’re thrilled to announce that Austin Point’s first phase brings together a cohesive ecosystem of diverse housing, amenities, and public spaces that reimagines the way communities are built and how people live.”

Innovative Land Plan Promotes Connectivity and Sustainability
Austin Point’s neo-traditional land plan prioritizes walkability, connectivity, and an intimate small-town atmosphere. Designed with pedestrian-friendly streets, integrated public spaces, and diverse housing options, the development emphasizes human-scale design over car-centric planning. Key elements include narrow, tree-lined streets with parallel parking to encourage walkability, extensive pedestrian and bike-friendly pathways connecting neighborhoods to parks and commercial areas, and sustainable green spaces and nature-centric design enhancing quality of life.
At the heart of Phase One is The 1824, a two-acre social hub designed to bring residents together. This central gathering space features a 2,800-square-foot café and wine bar, an outdoor concert and event lawn, a children’s exploration play area, a food truck court, and a beer garden, all surrounded by trails and scenic water features.

A Vision for the Future
Austin Point is designed to support over 50,000 residents, with plans for 14,000 homes, 17 million square feet of commercial space, and 1,000 acres of parks, trails, and open spaces.
