Somerset Section 1 Landscape Improvements in Hockley, TX

Somerset Section 1 Landscape Improvements is a new construction project in Hockley, Texas, scheduled to finish in March 2027. The development covers 108,475 square feet of private land located northwest of the junction of Mueschke Road and FM 2920. Century Communities serves as the owner of record for this $1,525,600 investment in site amenities and infrastructure.

The scope of work focuses on creating a functional outdoor environment rather than building enclosed structures. The filing details the installation of sidewalks, parks with play structures, shade structures, and various games. Site furnishings will accompany these features, while the infrastructure includes irrigation systems, drainage, landscape improvements, solid sod, and hydroseeding. This approach prioritizes accessible recreation and site usability for the residential community.

Design and Regulatory Status

KGA DeForest Design Firm is the registered design firm of record. Robert W Green is listed as the registered accessibility specialist. The project was registered with TDLR in October 2026, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction is set to begin in November 2026, with a scheduled completion date in March 2027. The TDLR status is Review Complete. This timeline represents a 123-day build window, which is shorter than the county median of 221 days for similar new construction filings in Harris County.

Financially, the project is privately funded on private land for private use. The estimated cost of $1,525,600 places the project above the Harris County median estimated cost of $750,000 for new construction. However, the cost per square foot is $14, which is below the county median of $88. This disparity reflects the nature of the work, which is landscape and site improvement rather than high-value structural construction.
