A master-planned community of more than $1 billion, dubbed a new "western gateway" to Burleson, is moving forward.
The development, called Tallgrass, will span 621 acres at the intersection of Chisholm Trail Parkway and FM 1902. At full buildout, Groundwork Development Partners expects to deliver 4,000 residential units across single-family homes, estates, apartments and townhomes, plus more than 1 million square feet of commercial development, a town center and about 90 acres of parks.
The land for the development has been owned by the Armstrong family since 1951, according to a presentation to Burleson City Council. Groundwork Development is working with the family to develop the new community. The council unanimously approved a development agreement with AP-Groundwork Venture LLC on Oct. 7.
Steven Spears, principal at Groundwork Development Partners, said Tallgrass is meant to be a "multigenerational" mixed-use development. That is why it will have a mix of housing types.
