“Preservation Creek, and ultimately, the Austin Bayou District, reflects our shared commitment to preserving the natural beauty of our region while opening new doors for families, businesses, and opportunity,” said Gabe Adame, City of Alvin Mayor. “We are proud to partner with W Land Development to bring this vision to life in the heart of our proud and historic city.”
The City of Alvin’s Austin Bayou District is the flagship project for the city’s economic growth initiatives and the groundbreaking marks the first phase in a sweeping westward expansion that is designating more than 14,000 acres of new residential and commercial opportunities in this fast-growing segment of Houston. With the support and forward-looking resolve of the Alvin City Council, this long anticipated project is launching with incredible momentum.
Preservation Creek will offer single family homes with a Texas-chic style, using a mix of masonry and stone exterior elevations to create a consistent street scape that enhances the community’s appeal. Builder partners that will be a part of the community include Smith Douglas Homes, K. Hovnanian, Imagination Homes, New Home Co., Kendall Homes and Brightland Homes.
“Preservation Creek is more than a neighborhood—it’s a promise,” said Lisa Clark, Senior Consultant for W Land Development. “A promise that growth can be thoughtful. That open skies, tree-lined paths, and backyard barbecues still matter. That this little corner of Texas can grow and feel like home. We’re proud to lead the effort and are thankful to have the trust from the City of Alvin.”
Located off Highway 288, Preservation Creek utilizes the natural green belt to its environmental advantage along the Austin Bayou and features more than 1,100 acres of protected parks, trails, waterways, and green space.
Thanks to the tireless advocacy of the Alvin City Council and their work to nurture the Austin Bayou District, this region is poised to become one of the most vibrant, connected, and enduring places to live in Southeast Texas.
