Katy’s Newest Master-Planned Community, Cane Island, Welcomes First Residents
KATY, TX (September 22, 2015) – About a year after plans for Cane Island were first unveiled, the Katy master-planned community has welcomed its first residents, a Katy family drawn to the new community for its location, amenities and builders. Ashley Warren, son Brayden and Ashley’s fiancé Justin Wagner may not have many neighbors now, but that’s expected to change soon with the completion of new luxury homes in Cane Island’s first phase. The owners of a new home by Perry Homes, Ashley and Justin moved to Cane Island from the Katy subdivision of Mason Lakes. While Cane Island’s first family enjoyed their previous home, the opportunity to own a new home in Katy’s newest master-planned community was too good to pass up. “We’re really proud to be the ‘first family’ of Cane Island,” Ashley added. “We loved working with Perry Homes. The plan we selected is perfect for our family.” Besides moving into Cane Island’s first new home, Justin and Brayden joked they’ll also try to be the first to jump into Cane Island’s new family pool, part of the master-planed community’s Amenity Village where families also will enjoy a Recreation Center, poolside cafe, glass-walled conservatory and yoga studio. In addition to Perry Homes, Cane Island offers new luxury homes by Coventry Homes, David Weekley Homes, Ryland Homes, Shea Homes, Toll Brothers and Trendmaker Homes. Several model homes are now open daily, Monday thru Saturday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Sunday, noon – 7 p.m., with others opening soon. Developed by Rise Communities, Cane Island is minutes from the Energy Corridor, Katy Mills and Memorial Katy Hospital. It also is minutes west of the extended Grand Parkway, Houston’s third ring road currently open from Sugar Land to U.S. 290. Families currently can reach Cane Island from First Street in Katy. Later this year, the community will be accessible via the all-new Cane Island Parkway interchange at I-10.
