Towne Lake 2009 Milestones

 

The nation’s economic downturn has not slowed development activity at Caldwell Companies’ 2,400-acre Towne Lake master-planned community off Barker-Cypress and West roads.

Two major milestones have been achieved at Towne Lake in the past two months: the completion of the first 75-acre section of the 300-acre lake that will serve as the heart of the community; and the opening of the first of several bridges that will span the lake and serve as community connectors.


Water Provides Unifying Force at Towne Lake

Because it is only the second year of a decade-long development plan, it is hard to imagine what the 2,400-acre Towne Lake master-planned community will look like when completed.

But developer Caldwell Companies has created an interactive kiosk in the community's welcome center, 9214 W. Bridgeport Pass Circle, to illustrate the scope of what is to come on that property that stretches from U.S. 290 to West Road along Barker-Cypress Road.

The centerpiece of the community is a 350-acre recreational lake that is under construction. About half of that lake will be completed at the end of this year. When finished, there will be 14 miles of shoreline. Randy Young, Caldwell Companies' director of operations and land development, said it will be the fourth-largest in the Houston region behind Conroe, Clear Lake and Lake Houston.


The Woodlands has its Waterway. Now, say developers of a new community in northwest Houston, Houstonians who are tired of the city's nonstop traffic also will be able to take a quick boat ride to visit their friends and family.

Towne Lake, a 2,400-acre community planned by Caldwell Watson Real Estate Group in the Cypress-Fairbanks area, will feature a 320-acre lake with connecting waterways allowing residents to travel via boat.

Although lake communities have become popular with developers in the past five to 10 years, "a community that allows residents to travel by boat has not really been done in the Houston area," according to Fred Caldwell, CEO of Caldwell Watson.


NW Houston’s Newest Community Grows as Coventry Homes Begins Building New Units in Towne Lake

Towne Lake Aquatic Habitat Improvements

Through our continuing efforts to make Towne Lake the most successful private waterfront community in Texas, we have taken great strides to provide state of the art lake habitat improvements. These efforts will help ensure the health, beauty and functionality of Towne Lake for many years to come.

While the lake will serve a multitude of useful purposes, such as flood control and aesthetics, various recreational activities, such as boating and fishing, will also flourish. While these mixed uses are compatible, stringent measures must be taken to allow for their impact on aesthetics, water quality and the fishery.


14,000 sq. ft. Clubhouse Will be Social Hub of New Active Adult Community in Towne Lake

Caldwell Companies announced today that the clubhouse within The Heritage at Towne Lake development is slated to break ground May 5. The state-of-the art facility will serve as the centerpiece of the active adult community within Towne Lake. The Clubhouse will cover 14,000 sq. ft. with a completion date of Christmas 2008.

“Our goal is to create community,” explained Randy Young, director of operations, residential development, Caldwell Companies. “This clubhouse will exceed expectations as the social hub for all residents of The Heritage at Towne Lake.”


Custom Designed Bridge Will Allow Boats to Navigate Waterways at New Active Adult Community in NW Houston

Caldwell Companies announced today that it is beginning bridge construction on Hamilton Hills, a two-lane road that runs through the Towne Lake community. The bridge, architecturally enhanced and custom designed by Rialto Studios, will feature a 42-foot span with decorative rails and decorative handrails. The bridge will also feature a pedestrian walkway under the span and the walkway will continue along the shoreline of the community lake. There will be a 12-foot clearance from the normal water level enabling smaller boats to travel safely under the bridge.

The forecasted project cost is $1.45 million, and the estimated construction completion for the Hamilton Hills Bridge is by the end June of 2008.
