A significant transformation is underway in Flower Mound as developers prepare to break ground on Furst Ranch, a sweeping 2,300-acre master-planned community that promises to reshape the town's landscape.
The massive project will include 1,400 new homes, 500,000 square feet of retail, a potential medical district and roughly 450 acres dedicated to open space and parks.
“Furst Ranch will provide an exceptional outdoor environment, particularly impressive for a development of this magnitude,” said Dustin Davidson, managing director at Hines, the firm leading the project.
What’s Included
Furst Ranch aims to blend upscale living with convenience and green space. In addition to residential housing, the first phase of the development includes:
- A major retail hub across 140 acres
- Plans for a medical district and local schools
- Parks, trails and outdoor amenities across 450 acres
The first homes are expected to break ground in 2027. According to filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, infrastructure work will begin in October and wrap up by April 2026. That portion of construction is estimated to cost nearly $29 million.
H-E-B Eyes Flower Mound
While no official announcement wasn made, signs point to H-E-B setting up shop at Furst Ranch. In May, Flower Mound’s Town Council approved a parking ratio for the San Antonio-based grocer, allowing for 733 parking spaces to accompany a 110,000-square-foot grocery store.
The potential H-E-B would sit near FM 1171 and U.S. 377, anchoring the development’s first phase of retail. The grocer's arrival would mark a major win for local residents who have long advocated for more food and retail options in the area.
A Vision For Upscale, Relaxed Living
The developers of Furst Ranch hope to create more than just a neighborhood — they’re designing a lifestyle.
“At Furst Ranch, the hustle and bustle of daily life fades away,” the project’s website reads. “Here, modern amenities and conveniences are seamlessly integrated into the landscape, ensuring residents have everything they need just steps away. From unique dining options to diverse shopping opportunities, Furst Ranch is the perfect blend of upscale living and relaxed Texas charm.”
As the infrastructure work kicks off and Flower Mound’s landscape begins to change, residents and officials alike are watching closely. If all goes according to plan, Furst Ranch will stand as one of the most ambitious and transformative developments for the town.
