A new 102-lot residential subdivision is being planned on 85 acres just off Burbank Drive, near the Siegen Lane intersection.
Willows at Bayou Fountain is a gated community with garden-style homes, accessible only by a private street, says Windy Gladney, a local developer and manager of the new proposed subdivision. The homes will sit on lots that average 6,000 square feet in size.
The property owner is listed as Burbank Highlands LLC. Developers have filed applications with the Planning Commission for approval of the new subdivision and to rezone the land on which it is being developed from heavy commercial to single family residential. Both applications will go before the Planning Commission on Nov. 14 and, if approved, to the Metro Council in December.
Willows at Bayou Fountain will be built in two phases, Gladney says. The first phase will consist of 40 homes, and the remaining 62 homes will be built in the second phase. There is no price point for the homes at this time.
Gladney says it is hoped that ground will be broken on the subdivision during the first quarter of 2017.
He says Willows at Bayou Fountain fills a housing void in the area, where student housing populates the far west end of Burbank and high-end residential homes have been developed on the east end.
Gladney says the subdivision’s garden-style homes will be similar to homes in the garden section of The Lakes at Highland, an upscale community located off Highland Road between Bluebonnet Boulevard and Siegen Lane.
