Welcome to Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Logo

Located in the rapidly growing Waller County along the newly expanded U.S. 290, Beacon Hill offers shovel-ready sites for immediate development. This master-planned environment is suitable for uses ranging from light industrial and office to retail, multifamily and hospitality.

Overview

Beacon Hill is a pristine 587 acres of land located in the City and County of Waller, TX directly on the north side of U.S. 290, the Northwest Freeway, between FM 362 and James Muse Parkway within the City of Waller. The northernmost 270 acres of the tract have been purchased by Long Lake Ltd., one of the most active home builders in the Houston market, for their newest master-planned community. On the southern 317 acres abutting the freeway, Wolff Companies is developing a business park with uses ranging from light industrial and distribution to office, multifamily, and retail.

More than $16 million have already been invested in the community, which is now fully served by City of Waller utilities. Recently completed Beacon Hill Boulevard, the community’s main thoroughfare, connects Highway U.S. 290 and Owens Road on the northern side of the property. Future improvements include a new exit ramp and frontage road which will create direct access from U.S. 290 to Beacon Hill in summer 2024.

In January 2022, Hines acquired 78 acres for a build-to-suit project, which can fit up to 1,300,000 square feet of distribution, manufacturing, or logistics space with flexibility on the ultimate site plan. The project will feature industry-leading building characteristics consistent with the Hines’ brand and the integrity and quality of the Beacon Hill development.

In addition to Long Lake, other respected master-planned community developers announced substantial projects in the area, including Lakeview, Bridgeland, Dunham Point, Bold Fox, Jubilee, Towne Lake, and Cypress Green, all of which will drive growth in the 290 Corridor. Supported by an excellent school district and the business-friendly climate in the City and County of Waller, Wolff Companies believes that the region is set for decades of high-quality growth and development.

Property Information

Beacon Hill, located in the City and County of Waller, Texas, consists of two tracts totaling 587 acres directly on U.S. 290 between FM 362 and James R. Muse Parkway.

The first tract is 317 acres located directly adjacent to U.S. 290 and has more than 8,200 feet of freeway frontage. The second tract, owned by Long Lake Ltd, is 270 acres and located south of Owens Road.

Accessibility

Location directly on newly reconstructed US 290 provides exceptional visibility and connectivity to Houston and points west such as Austin, Brenham, and College Station. The property features:

  • More than 8,200 total feet of frontage on U.S. 290, which carries more than 58,200 cars per day;
  • Proximity to the Grand Parkway, Houston’s third loop, which easily connects Waller to points north and south of Houston;
  • Reduced Houston commuter drive times as a result of the now completed reconstruction of U.S. 290;
  • TxDOT has indicated it has plans for feasibility and design work on the next phase of U.S. 290, a 10-mile widening from FM 362 to the State Highway 6 turn-off in Hempstead. U.S. 290 currently carries 200,000 cars per day and connects Houston to high-growth areas such as College Station and Austin.

New infrastructure will provide excellent access to US 290 and beyond:

  • Beacon Hill Boulevard has been completed, connecting U.S. 290 and Owens Road on the northern side of the property.
  • TxDOT has recently granted approval for the construction of a new U.S. 290 exit leading to Beacon Hill Boulevard and service road from Beacon Hill Boulevard to James R. Muse Parkway.
  • To aid traffic flow from Beacon Hill toward Houston, a new U-turn will be constructed under U.S. 290 at James R. Muse Parkway. These improvements will provide direct access to and from Beacon Hill via U.S 290.
  • Completion of the interchange is expected in summer 2024.

Development Standards

As with other Wolff Companies projects, Beacon Hill will be master planned with development, architectural and landscaping guidelines to ensure long-term quality and value.

  • Deed restrictions, as well as architectural development guidelines, ensure the planned environment will continue to offer high-quality surroundings for decades to come.
  • Possible land uses include industrial, office, hospitality, healthcare, institutional, multi-family and retail.
  • With the land buyer’s quest for value preservation and appreciation in mind, the protective covenants will establish minimum standards for land use, building materials, landscaping, signage, and other similar matters that define quality development.

Utilities

  • Storm water detention and drainage, trunk water lines, trunk sanitary sewer, and a lift station as well as electrical lines already in place, representing a $16 million investment;
  • The City of Waller, Texas supplies municipal grade water and sanitary sewer services to the property;
  • San Bernard Electric Cooperative provides electrical power in the area

Detention and Flood Plain

Beacon Hill contains the West Fork of the Mound Creek Tributary. A comprehensive land management plan creates permanent green space as well as detention around the Tributary, which will serve as an amenity for the entire community. None of the remaining land is in the 100 or 500-year flood plain.

Area Information

Map of the HWY 290 Corridor

The 290 Corridor has been experiencing an explosive housing growth, with many under-construction and planned Master Planned Communities, totaling more than 43,000 houses.

Beacon Hill is located in the City of Waller just west of the intersection of U.S. 290 and FM 362. The property is in the economic development zone of the Waller County Economic Development Partnership and the City of Waller’s Economic Development Corporation. Both were founded in the early 2000s in response to Houston’s rapid westward growth to foster high-quality development in the region and opportunities for generations to come.

Through their efforts, major employers in Waller County now include Daikin, Igloo, Amazon, Goya, Houston Executive Airport, Medline, Burkhardt Compression and Prairie View A&M University.

Housing

At Beacon Hill, Long Lake is developing a master-planned residential community featuring approximately 870 homes, priced from $240s to $470s. First residents moved to Beacon Hill in August 2021. As of summer 2023, more than 80 families have made Beacon Hill home and an additional 30+ homes were in various construction stages.

The master-planned community will also feature 30 acres of green recreational spaces, including ponds and miles of paved trails as well as a community recreation center.

The 620,000 square feet facility offers comprehensive academic, fine arts, and athletic as well as Career and Technology programs all under one roof. Students can earn more than 20 industry-based certifications in more than 15 career and technical education fields, and more than 40 hours of dual-credit college courses. Following a renovation, the existing high school building will serve as a junior high school.
  • With funds approved through Bond 2022 in the November 2022 election, the District plans to begin work on elementary schools #6 and #7 in the immediate future. The schools, located in Bridgeland and Dellrose subdivisions, are expected to open by August 2024 Overall, the bond will provide three new elementary schools, safety and security upgrades at all schools, an ag science facility, a new transportation and maintenance facility, and more.
