META was recently hired by Brookfield Properties to handle the land planning for the company’s Easton Park community in Austin. Located in burgeoning Southeast Austin, Easton Park’s 1,500-acre community is rooted in the local culture of Austin. Easton Park has traditional single-family homes, courtyard homes and urban homes to meet the needs of a variety of different home buyers. The community is highly-amenitized.
META worked with MAK Development and project owner Shea Homes to create the land plan for the group’s very first Houston area development, Del Bello Lakes in Manvel. Since the community’s grand opening in early 2020, a strong 84 new home sales have been reported by Shea Homes, Perry Homes, Ashton Woods and Westin Homes.
South of the Pearland market area, Del Bello Lakes is one of the city of Manvel’s few new home developments. Manvel’s prime location near Highway 288 and Highway 6 with excellent access to The Texas Medical Center is making it a popular choice for new home buyers. META created a master plan that for Del Bello Lakes that carefully buffered homesites from the freeway and commercial development located at the frontage of the property. The neighborhood has four homesite sizes: 50’, 55’, 60’ and 70’ and includes 40 acres of lakes, 15 acres of park and open spaces and 5-miles of walking trails. The centerpiece of the community will be Jaxon’s Cove, a modern recreation center with an outdoor pavilion, splash pad, playground and more. The community is 220 acres and will be home to 448 families at completion.
“Del Bello Lakes is an intimate-sized neighborhood but it offers a variety of lot sizes and it accented with a lot of really nice features,” according to META partner Carlos Fraga.
If the community continues on its current sales path, Del Bello Lakes will sell out faster than the developer’s plan.
