Minto Communities USA developing multigenerational community in Waxahachie, Texas

Dallas, TX — (January 29, 2026) — The Waxahachie City Council has approved a proposal by Minto Communities USA to develop a new master-planned community in Waxahachie, Texas. The 3,170-acre community will be the largest residential and mixed-use development in the area. Development is projected to start mid-2026 with a multi-year buildout.

The new community will be located in the southern portion of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and, more specifically, west of Interstate 35E, south of FM 875, north of FM 1446 and east of Lone Elm Road in Waxahachie. Plans call for 13,270 homes, including 1,400 multi-family units. A diverse range of home designs will include single-family homes, villas, cottages, townhomes and apartments. There will be neighborhoods to accommodate young professionals and growing families as well as adults 55 and better who are seeking an active lifestyle.

It also will include a town center and an adventure park with a range of amenities, multiple acres of civic spaces and services, 400 acres of open spaces and parks, 1.2 million square feet of mixed use commercial space as well as a middle school and multiple elementary schools. All elements will be connected by an extensive network of open space and trails.

The fiscal and economic benefits of the new community to Waxahachie and its residents will be substantial through a significant increase in the tax base, creation of new businesses and jobs, and local spending by new residents. The community is projected to generate more than $42.2 million in annual revenue for the city. It will positively impact the Waxahachie Independent School District by creating a real property tax base of $4.8 billion that will generate an annual property tax revenue of $56 million. Over the course of construction, it is projected to generate an average of 2,080 construction jobs. New businesses on property and resident spending are projected to create another 7,500 permanent jobs.

“Minto USA worked closely with city officials over the last two years to cooperatively design a community centered around best practices in land planning while being mindful of the affordability challenges American homeowners face,” notes Minto Division President Dutch Neuweiler. “We will have offerings that cover the entire spectrum of pricing. Our long-range plans include the ability to be adaptive to the ever-changing real estate market while protecting the vision of what makes a hometown community successful. Minto USA has decades of experience providing large-scale lifestyle-centric communities, and we are honored to have our first location in Texas be Waxahachie. Minto USA is unique in that it owns the land, develops the property and, ultimately, builds the homes,” concludes Neuweiler.
