Waxahachie Okays 1,400 Apartments, 1.2M SF of Commercial Space

The Waxahachie City Council has given Minto Communities the green light to develop a new master-planned community in Waxahachie, Texas. The 3,170-acre community is expected to 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.

The community 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 and 1.2 million square feet of mixed-use commercial space. 

The community is projected to generate more than $42.2 million in annual revenue for the city and as many as 10,000 jobs.
