The Woodlands: Sawdust Rd. grinds to Woodmill Creek

THE WOODLANDS – Woodmill Creek, a new 75-acre mixed-use development located at 1823 Sawdust Rd., is underway and will include multifamily and single-family homes, two office buildings and retail space.

The development, located just north of Exxon Mobil Corp.’s 385-acre campus, is part of the tremendous growth in Montgomery County as business and population in the region booms.

Of the 75 acres of land at Woodmill Creek, 49 acres is available for development. The remaining acreage is streets, detention or green space, said David B. Toone, Principal at PinPoint Commercial, LP, the developer.

PinPoint Commercial has partnered with Alliance Residential, which will build two high-density housing developments in the community — one is a four-story apartment community and the other is a townhome project.

In addition, Pelican Builders will close soon on 8.3 acres for a single-family, high-density development. Pelican Builders has developed other housing communities in The Woodlands.

The new community will be gated and offer multistory homes with garages. The housing community will also include a swimming pool.

PinPoint Commercial has designed a 192,000-sf office building. The developer will wait to begin construction until it has signed preleases with tenants. A second office building is expected to be 242,000 sf.

The commercial aspect will include 52,000 sf of retail.

One of the community amenities includes a private, fenced park for the residents and tenants to use exclusively. The development, which is expected to be complete in five to six years, also has a jogging trail.
