Texas land development
We acquire raw land across the Texas growth triangle, carry it through entitlement and engineering, build the roads and utilities, and deliver finished lots to the builders who raise the homes.
Rendering — Collins Place, Manvel, Texas
Figures describe identified pipeline — projects owned, controlled, planned or under evaluation. They are not assets under management, revenue, or realized results. Acreage and lot counts follow current engineering plans and are subject to entitlement, municipal approval and final platting.
Who we are
Affinity Communities is a land development company working across the Texas growth triangle — Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, and the Austin–San Antonio corridor. We buy acreage, take it through zoning and platting, coordinate the civil engineering, and put the roads, drainage and utilities in the ground.
What comes out the other side is a finished lot: surveyed, served, and ready for a builder to start framing. We work with national and regional homebuilders, municipalities, landowners and capital partners to move housing supply from a plan on paper into production.
Our communities are designed for the way people actually live in them — trails, ponds, recreation, and the kind of street layout that makes a neighborhood feel like one.
What we do
Seven disciplines, run in sequence on every project. Most of the value and nearly all of the risk sits in the middle of this list.
Off-market and brokered residential opportunities in growth corridors, screened against infrastructure capacity, absorption and the cost to get to a finished lot.
Zoning, platting, variances and development agreements — carried through the city rather than handed to one. Our team has sat on the municipal side of this table.
Grading, drainage, detention, utility routing and phasing, developed with licensed civil engineers against current municipal standards.
Roads, wet and dry utilities, detention and site improvements delivered by qualified contractors under a fixed scope and schedule.
MUD, PID and TIRZ evaluation and reimbursement strategy where a district supports the project and improves the infrastructure economics.
Phased finished-lot takedowns structured around how national and regional builders actually absorb inventory, not around how fast we would like to sell.
Entitled multifamily and rental housing where zoning and demand support it, developed and built with qualified partners.

Designed to be lived in
Detention is a requirement. A lake that a neighborhood is built around is a decision. Our plans put drainage, open space and recreation where they do double duty — meeting the engineering and giving residents something worth walking to.

Manvel, Texas — Brazoria County
The project
Collins Place is twenty acres, sixteen of them buildable, planned for forty-seven single-family homes on fifty to sixty foot lots with three two-story office and retail buildings across two commercial sites fronting the road. The parcel is flat with a fall to the south-east corner.
The community is aimed squarely at buyers the Houston market is not currently serving: veterans moving into ownership, first-time buyers, and the local workforce — teachers, nurses, public employees — who are priced out of comparable new construction closer in.
Every home is specified to a smart-home standard: fiber to the home, structured wiring, smart thermostat and locks, energy-efficient appliances, LED packages and EV-ready garages as an option. Walkable streets, pocket parks and pet-friendly greenspace are planned in rather than left over.
Established residential, schools, retail and services, and parks within the immediate area.
Before and after
The two images are registered to the same ground, so the line you drag is the real boundary between the land as it stands today and the community as designed.
TodayAs designedCounty Road 58, Manvel — drag to lay the community over the ground.
Capital
Held in a single-member series LLC wholly owned by Affinity Communities Master LLC, with investors holding the master rather than the project directly. The capital plan combines fund participation, a joint-venture equity partner and a construction lender, administered by a third-party fund administrator.
Pearland, Texas — Brazoria County
The project
Little Meadows runs as a combined program: homes built and sold by Affinity alongside finished lots delivered to builders. That split lets the project carry itself on lot sales while the vertical side captures the margin on the homes.
The tract sits in Flood Zone X — outside the five hundred year floodplain — with a pumped detention pond along the eastern boundary handling stormwater.
Pearland has been among the fastest growing cities in the Houston metro for two decades, and its median home price still sits meaningfully below the national average. That gap is the opportunity: attainable product in a city people are actively moving to.
Established Pearland residential either side, with schools, retail and the Highway 288 corridor within a short drive.
The community
Rendering — Little Meadows, Bailey Road, Pearland.
The plat — 83 lots across 30.45 acres, with pumped detention along the eastern boundary.
Capital
Project-level participation alongside the sponsor, with horizontal debt sized against finished-lot value and vertical construction funded as homes are released.
Manvel, Texas — Brazoria County
The project
Manvel Palms is the project that demonstrates the model end to end. A master plat for three hundred and sixty-two lots at sixty by a hundred and twenty-five feet was carried through approval across two contiguous parcels, sixty-seven acres and fifty-seven acres.
On Section 1, the sixty-seven acre parcel platted for two hundred and twelve lots, all wet utilities and streets were completed and the finished lots were sold to three national homebuilders. Section 2, platted for a hundred and fifty lots, was sold to an investment group.
The community sits directly adjacent to Rodeo Palms Junior High School, roughly a mile north of Highway 6 along County Road 48. Two connector roads, Kirby Road on the eastern boundary and Rodeo Palms Parkway on the southern, tie the community into the city network.
Established Manvel residential to the north and west, with Highway 6 roughly a mile south and the Rodeo Palms community adjoining.

Granbury, Texas — Hood County
The project
The plan follows the existing contours rather than flattening them. A looped internal street network runs off Camp Crucis Court, with three detention ponds positioned where the land already drains and the lot fabric worked around them.
Hood County sits in the path of Fort Worth’s westward expansion, where finished lot supply has not kept pace with household formation. Sixty-foot lots put the product in the move-up bracket rather than competing at the entry level.
Two utility easements cross the tract — a twenty-foot Cowtown Pipeline Partners easement and a sixty-foot Brazos Electric Power Cooperative easement — both accommodated in the layout, along with a twenty-four foot common access fire and utility easement.
Rural residential and agricultural land immediately adjacent, with Granbury’s services and the Loop 567 corridor to the south.

Princeton, Texas — Dallas MSA
The project
Arden is entitled and ready to start. Three hundred and seventy-eight units sit on twenty-three acres at a little over sixteen units to the acre, planned around a clubhouse, two pool courtyards and interior amenity space, with carport and tuck-under parking through the site.
The land was acquired from Kalterra. Affinity is the developer and builder. The product is oriented to workforce housing — the teachers, nurses, trades and service employees that Collin County’s growth depends on and that its rent levels increasingly fail to house.
A partnership with a Housing Finance Corporation or Public Facility Corporation is under evaluation. That structure would support a mixed-income unit mix and align the project with public workforce-housing objectives. It is under review and not concluded.
Princeton sits on US 380 in the Collin County growth corridor, north-east of Dallas, one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States.
Site plan
Site plan — 378 units across the tract, with clubhouse, two pool courtyards and structured parking.
Capital
Developed and built by Affinity on land acquired from Kalterra, with a public facility partnership under evaluation. Capital structure, pricing and returns are held in the investor package.
Crowley, Texas — Tarrant County
The project
Legacy at Crowley is a completion play rather than a ground-up start. Ninety-six Class A units were delivered in 2022 and are leased today. The site carries approval for two hundred and eighty-eight, which leaves a hundred and ninety-two units of entitled, planned density still to build across two further buildings.
We are in negotiations to acquire the whole opportunity — the existing community and the Phase 2 land and development rights together. The operating asset matters: a leased building generates cash flow through the construction period, which is a materially different risk profile from breaking ground on raw dirt.
The location works for the renter it is built for. Deer Creek Elementary, Richard Allie Middle and Crowley High are all within reach, and JM Caldwell Sr. Community Park adjoins the site. Crowley sits in the southern Fort Worth growth path with rents well below the Tarrant County average.
Established residential either side of South Crowley Road, with the community park adjoining and Crowley’s schools and retail within a short drive.
Site plan
Sendero Oaks Phase 1 site plan — the completed buildings, with the Phase 2 development area marked outside the original contract.
Capital
An acquisition and completion structure combining an acquisition loan against the existing community with construction financing for Phase 2. The leased asset is expected to offset a portion of construction carry. Terms, pricing and returns are held in the investor package.
Del Valle, Texas — Travis County
The project
The plan sets four hundred and ninety-nine lots across the hundred and thirty-three usable acres in a deliberate mix of widths — two hundred at forty feet, two hundred and twenty-one at fifty, and seventy-eight at sixty. Three detention ponds and a central amenity site anchor the layout, with a hundred-foot waterway setback buffer along the western creek.
The width mix is the point. Forty-foot lots carry the attainable end — the product Austin has almost stopped producing as land basis climbed — while the fifty and sixty foot lots give builders a move-up range on the same infrastructure. Travis County has the employment; what it lacks is entitled residential supply priced for the people filling those jobs.
A municipal utility district is in progress. That structure carries the infrastructure cost and reimburses it through the district rather than loading it entirely onto lot price, which is what makes attainable product work at this land basis.
Rural residential and agricultural land along the Highway 71 corridor, with Austin-Bergstrom International and the south-east Austin employment corridor a short drive west.
Site plan
The lot mix is color-coded on the plan: forty-foot lots carry the attainable end, fifty and sixty foot lots give builders a move-up range on the same infrastructure.
Preliminary site plan — JMBC Engineering. Lot widths color-coded; detention, amenity center, the 100′ waterway setback buffer and the 30′ electric easement shown.
Capital
Structured for project-level participation alongside the sponsor. District reimbursement is expected to carry a meaningful share of the infrastructure cost, with finished-lot delivery to builders as the primary exit.
Taylor, Texas — Williamson County
The project
The concept plan is complete. It organizes the tract around a twenty-two acre amenity center at the heart of the community, with six neighborhood parks distributed so that most lots sit within a short walk of open space, and nineteen acres of commercial frontage held along Chandler Road.
The creek corridor on the eastern boundary falls inside FEMA Zone A and is held as open space rather than fought — it becomes the community’s green spine, absorbing detention alongside a planned wastewater treatment facility.
Taylor sits at the center of the largest semiconductor investment in Texas history. The employment that follows that investment needs housing, and Williamson County has very little entitled residential supply positioned to absorb it.
Agricultural land and rural residential, with Bill Pickett Trail to the east and the Taylor employment corridor to the north.
