MANVEL/IOWA COLONY, TX – Rise Communities has announced it will embark on the development of Meridiana, the premier master-planned community on Texas 288 minutes south of the Texas Medical Center in Manvel and Iowa Colony.
Located near the interchange of Texas 288 and Highway 6, Meridiana also is close to several large-scale employers in Freeport including new projects planned by Dow Chemical and BASF.
The 2,700-acre master-planned community will be accessible by the new Meridiana Parkway interchange at Highway 288 (now County Road 56), which upon opening in 2016, will provide easy access into the community.
More than 5,500 new, single-family homes are planned for Meridiana, according to Dan Naef, president of Rise Communities.
“Meridiana will be an exceptional, family-oriented master-planned community with outstanding home builders and unprecedented, educational-oriented amenities,” says Naef. “With Meridiana, we are making a bold commitment to education with learning and discovery experiences for all stages in life, from young children to active adults.”
Individuals can go to www.MeridianaTexas.com to sign up for e-mail updates on the latest news and information as the community is developed.
Families in Meridiana will attend schools in the Alvin Independent School District, including the new, on-site Meridiana Elementary School scheduled to open for the 2016-2017 academic school year.
Meridiana is located minutes from the more than 75 shops and restaurants in Pearland Town Center. It also is close to Baylor St. Luke’s Emergency Center – Pearland, Houston Methodist Pearland Emergency Care Center and the all-new, acute care Pearland Medical Center.
Rise Communities is led by an executive team which is developing the Katy master-planned community of Cane Island where on-site builder sales offices have opened and pre-sales are well underway.
The company’s track record includes the development and construction of several award-winning communities totaling over 14,000 acres and now home to over 100,000 residents.
