(Burleson, Tx)- Burleson City Council has approved a 900-acre economic development project for Chisholm Summit near the Chisholm Trail Parkway on the city’s western border.

At a price tag of $1.2 billion, it’s the city’s first master-planned community.  The project will feature residential homes, over 100 acres of dedicated parkland, including an equestrian center, a community park, pocket parks, trail parks, and over ten miles of an interconnected trail system.  The project will also feature large ponds for fishing and horseback riding trails.  Homes in the development will be located in the Joshua school district.

Chisholm Summit will also feature 28 acres of commercial space including Hooper Business Park, a 106-acre professional office park/medical district and Chisholm Square, a community “downtown” node that will be similar to the city’s Old Town.

Construction is expected to begin in June of 2022 with the first homes by 2024.
