Laredo-Area Ranchers to Invest $1.6B in Master-Planned Community

The family of a longtime Laredo-area ranching family is about to transform a working ranch into a master-planned community. The Walker Family hopes to convert 13,000 acres into commercial and industrial manufacturing businesses, thousands of homes and multifamily communities and an airport. Central to the Talise development was the discovery of a vital water source within the family’s land holdings.

The project, to be known as Talise, is expected to require a $1.6 billion investment from the Walker Family. Kandy Walker added, “Our family believes the time has come that our region of Texas has this ambitious scope and range of project built here, so all Laredoans, Webb County and South Texas residents have an opportunity to take advantage of all that Talise will bring.” Spearheading the project is SE Legacy Development, founded by the Walker family.

The project will be centered in an unincorporated area in Webb County, North of Laredo, Texas, at the intersection of I-35, US 83, and Texas 255 in South Texas.
