Cinco Ranch Southwest – Katy, TX

Client: Newland Communities

One of the fastest-growing master-planned communities in the United States, Cinco Ranch offers residents an array of home options and outdoor opportunities in a unique and cohesive setting. TBG’s pedestrian-oriented design and plan organize extensive trail systems around a winding central lake, and a growing network of greenbelt trails makes it possible to jog, walk or bike between almost every neighborhood, recreational facility and school in the community. TBG also incorporated bioswales and a rainwater-harvesting system at the community’s popular Lake House, a multifaceted recreation center and water park that is LEED certified.

Residents walk their dog along the extensive trail system that winds around a 16-acre detention lake.
