Johnson Development broke ground on Grange, a 1,150-acre community in Katy on March 22.

The details

The community, located near Morton Road and FM 2855, will have approximately 2,400 homes, according to a March 22 news release from the development company.

Johnson Development announced the new community in January 2023, but at the time it had yet to be named. The name Grange was chosen to reflect the area's history of rice farming, Jacob W. Rice, vice president and general manager of Grange, said in the release.

“The definition of ‘grange’ is a farm or agricultural estate, which identifies with the region,” Rice said in the release. “We will strive to be true to this heritage and retain the character of a small town as development continues.”


What to expect

Homebuilders are expected to complete the first phase of the community by early 2025, with home sales anticipated to begin shortly thereafter, according to officials from the development.

Lakes and green spaces will be a key feature in the community's master plan, Rice said in the release.

“Our vision is to celebrate these natural areas while creating a place that cultivates connections with nature and each other,” ​​Rice said in the release.


Students in the community will attend Katy ISD schools, according to the release.
