Development of Timarron, a new 240-acre area located west of Kuykendahl Road in The Woodlands’ Village of Creekside Park, is well underway and Pulte Homes and Beazer Homes are constructing new single-family homes ranging in size from approximately 1,500-2,500 square feet, and priced from the $160’s. Pulte’s model homes are expected to open in early August, and Beazer will open their models in late August or early September.

“We are glad to have single-family homes in this price range in Timarron,” said Buck Driggers, Vice President of Residential Sales and Development for The Woodlands Development Company. “Timarron will be the ideal place for first-time homebuyers and those wishing to downsize to a smaller home or patio home within The Woodlands.”

There will be 10 neighborhoods within Timarron, five comprised of single-family homes, and five featuring patio homes. The centerpiece of Timarron will be 7-acre Timarron Park, including a Craftsman-style picnic pavilion that will seat 50, a Craftsman-style restroom, separate play equipment for older and younger children, a lighted basketball court, two lighted tennis courts, play field and picnic areas. The park will be connected to surrounding neighborhoods by two miles of trails. The trails will also connect Timarron with Tomball ISD schools in Creekside Park, including the new Creekside Forest K-6 Elementary School that opens in August. The trails will also lead to the planned village shopping center.

Five lakes, ranging in size from approximately one acre to 12 acres, are located throughout the neighborhood. “This chain of lakes provides water views to many of the homesites in Timarron,” Driggers said. “A forested greenway connects the neighborhoods with the park and pathway system and planned village center. Three access points are also planned from Timarron to the 1,700-acre George Mitchell Nature Preserve, ultimately connecting to Burroughs Park in Spring and the Spring Creek Greenway, a 33-mile trail system linking parklands in Harris and Montgomery Counties.

Construction has begun on one additional lane on the eastbound and westbound sides of Woodlands Parkway in The Woodlands from East Panther Creek Drive to Kuykendahl Road, according to Dan Kolkhorst, P.E., Vice President of Engineering & Construction for The Woodlands Development Company. Construction will begin on the eastbound lane.

Two contractors will be building the sections of the roadway simultaneously. Hassell Construction Company, Inc. will be building the segment from East Panther Creek to Gosling, and South Coast Construction Company, Inc. will construct the segment from Gosling to Kuykendahl. The project will require temporary lane closures from time to time during construction, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2010. Traffic signals from East Panther Creek to Kuykendahl will also be modified.

“The shoulder will be replaced with the new lanes of roadway, similar to what was done during the widening of Woodlands Parkway east of Grogan’s Mill Road,” Kolkhorst said. “We maintained the forested look of Woodlands Parkway during that expansion project, and we plan to preserve as much natural vegetation as possible during this phase of the project as well.”
