Site selection, approvals, permits, and infrastructure are all essential parts of Windy Hill Development’s in-depth due diligence process. We apply decades of experience and cultivate strategic relationships to turn possibilities into thriving communities.
Committed to Developing Lasting Communities
Since 2010, Windy Hill Development has been at the forefront of real estate development in the Greater Houston area. Builders partner with us repeatedly because we effectively apply our expertise and market knowledge to create communities that provide value to them and their homebuyers. Together, we’re working to close the housing gap in Texas.
At the end of the day, a genuine desire to build lasting communities in Texas drives everything we do. We’re from here. Our roots date back generations to the defenders of the Alamo and the founders of Friendswood. We carry with us a genuine desire to build upon our legacy in Texas.
