On Oct. 1, Johnson Development officials and community members celebrated the groundbreaking of the amenity complex at Kresston, a 1,400-acre community located along FM 1486 in Magnolia, according to an Oct. 3 news release.

The gist

According to the news release, the Legends Pointe amenity complex is set to include:

• Four pickleball courts
• A 2,000-square-foot splash pad
• An open event lawn
• A playground
• A 3,000-square-foot welcome center named the Boot House

The Boot House is set to open in April, while the rest of the amenities are set to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.

What else?

Work is also underway on nine model homes, according to the news release. The builders Chesmar Homes, David Weekley and Lennar will have one model home each, and the builders Highland Homes, Perry Homes and Westin Homes will each have two model homes each.

The model homes are anticipated to open in February, according to the news release.

Quote of note

“Legends Pointe will reflect the vision we have for Kresston, and this initial phase of community amenities will set the tone for what’s to come in Kresston,” said Stephen Barrera, vice president and general manager of Kresston, via news release. “The area will be extremely versatile and is planned to accommodate all types of events and activities. It’s important to us to have amenities open about the time our first residents will be closing on their new homes.”
