How we got here

Earlier this year, Johnson Development broke ground on the development, according to prior reporting. The land for the community was purchased in November 2022.

• “We’re partnering with the top builders in Houston—really in the entire state—to offer homes fitting for the type of community we envision for Kresston,” said Stephen Barrera, vice president and general manager of Kresston, via news release. “Johnson Development has had long-standing relationships with all of them and can attest to the caliber of their work and customer service.”
• “The amount of growth the Greater Houston area has experienced over the last several years has been incredible,” said Brock Eller, the senior division president for Houston at David Weekley Homes, via news release. “With the addition of Kresston to the Magnolia area, David Weekley Homes is proud to be part of yet another Johnson Development master-planned community.”

The lots are expected to be delivered to builders by the end of this year, with home sales expected to begin in early 2025, according to the news release.
