Residential real estate firm and Texas-based developer partner on third project to deliver 3,400+ finished lots in South Houston over multiple phases

BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas (September 29, 2026) – IHP Capital Partners (“IHP”), a leading national residential real estate investment firm, has entered into an agreement to acquire 1,458 acres in Brazoria County, Texas, for the development of Peachtree, a new large-scale master-planned residential community located near the cities of Alvin and Liverpool. The first phase of the multi-phase transaction has closed, encompassing 206 acres and the development of 535 single-family finished lots, in addition to a community recreation area featuring a lazy river pool and a large outdoor shade pavilion. The full transaction is structured across multiple phases, with closings scheduled approximately every 18 months.

At full buildout, IHP and development partner, Texas-based Scarborough Lane Development, will deliver approximately 3,400 finished residential lots. Peachtree also is planned to feature integrated amenities including retail use, land allocated for the potential use of two future elementary schools, and abundant parks, open space, and tree preservation areas that will contribute to the community’s natural character and appeal.

“Peachtree represents the next generation of residential living in Greater Houston,” said Chris Bley, co-president of IHP Capital Partners. “As demand for quality housing accelerates, this dynamic community will offer homeowners long-term value and a vibrant lifestyle through a blend of attainably priced homes, top-tier schools, expansive open spaces, and modern amenities, all in a highly accessible location. We are proud to again partner with Scarborough Lane, whose local expertise is instrumental in bringing this vision to life.”

Peachtree is designed to meet the needs of first- and second-time homebuyers seeking attainable, lifestyle-oriented housing along the growing South Houston corridor. The lots will primarily feature 40-, 50-, and 60-foot widths. Site work has commenced and the initial 535 lots are expected to be delivered in Q2 2027.   

“Peachtree is a high-impact residential development ideally located in the South Houston metro area. The Highway 288 corridor has experienced significant growth in residential demand over the past decade, driven by ongoing transportation infrastructure improvements,” said Jeff Enes, partner at IHP Capital Partners. “The project is gaining significant traction with numerous builders already expressing interest for Phase I. We’re focused on delivering a scalable, well-designed community that aligns with market needs and supports long-term growth for our builder partners and the region.”

Peachtree is located five miles east of the Highway 288 corridor and 28 miles south of downtown Houston, placing it within one of the Houston MSA’s most desirable new home submarkets. In 2020, the widening of Highway 288 and the addition of toll lanes between downtown and Beltway 8 were completed, effectively reducing commute times to major employment centers, including the Texas Medical Center and downtown Houston.

Peachtree lies within the well-regarded Alvin Independent School District, which serves the surrounding communities of Iowa Colony, Manvel, and Alvin, making it an attractive option for families seeking access to quality education.

Scarborough Lane Development, which sourced the transaction and is managing horizontal development, brings extensive experience in Texas land planning, entitlements, infrastructure delivery, and the use of Municipal Utility Districts to support large-scale residential development.

“We’re pleased to extend our partnership with IHP Capital Partners on this landmark residential development,” said Ryan Burkhart, managing partner at Scarborough Lane. “Peachtree is a unique opportunity to deliver a large-scale, thoughtfully planned community that responds directly to the region’s growing need for attainably priced housing. Backed by its strategic location, strong builder demand, and long-term development potential, Peachtree is positioned to become a defining new community for families across the greater Houston region.”

Aligned with IHP’s investment strategy, which targets opportunities in high-growth, supply-constrained markets across the Western and Southwestern U.S., Peachtree bolsters the firm’s existing Texas portfolio. IHP’s active residential projects include Kresston, a 1,400-acre community in Magnolia co-developed with Johnson Development Corporation, and Sunfield, a 2,795-acre, award-winning masterplan in Buda developed with Scarborough Lane. IHP’s build-for-rent platform, TerraLane Communities, is also partnering with Scarborough Lane to develop TerraLane at Campo del Sol, a new rental community featuring 300 modern two-story homes within the 2,300-acre Campo Del Sol masterplan in North El Paso.

“We’re excited to deliver another dynamic community in Texas and continue building on our experience and strong industry relationships,” said Bley. “IHP’s ongoing partnership with Scarborough Lane exemplifies our shared commitment in creating long-lasting, high-quality neighborhoods, and we look forward to continuing this momentum with more project announcements in the future.”
