Tri Pointe Homes will develop 410 residential units on 86 acres at the Pearson Ranch site in Austin. Vertical construction on the project is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Why it matters
The development marks a significant shift for the 156-acre Pearson Ranch property, which was originally intended for a large-scale corporate office park.
Tri Pointe Homes will occupy 86 acres of the total 156-acre Pearson Ranch site, leaving approximately 42 acres of development space remaining. The project follows the construction of the 306-unit Eden apartment complex and the 342-unit Jefferson Pearson Ranch.
