Discovery at Spring Trails, Land Tejas’s gated and solar-panel-badged community north of Spring, is selling well, says Lisa Gray: “. . . only a few weeks after Discovery put itself on the market, and without even a finished house that would-be buyers can tour, most of the lots ready for building have been optioned, and the developer is scrambling to make more available fast. In fact, Discovery is off to the fastest start of any development in the company’s 11-year history, and Land Tejas expects demand to pick up even more this fall. Already, propelled mostly by Google searches, 200 to 300 people a week are touring the neighborhood’s ‘Discovery Center.’” [Houston Chronicle]

Back around the turn of the century, during the dotcom bubble, I worked for a Land Tejas front company(ClearWorks) which was created to bring “smart home” technology to the masses.
At the time LT’s Canyon Gate at Northpointe was touted as “The first all-digital and intelligent community is being built anywhere in America”. Even though the intelligence never did take hold much past the idea stage.
It was a way for LT to promote their communities by throwing around some popular buzzwords and acronyms of the time… smart home, intelligent communities, bundled digital services(BDS), Fiber to the home(FTTH)yadayadayada.
I wonder if this is the game Land Tejas is now playing with this new, solar-panel badged community and all the buzz around being “green”?
Caveat Emptor!
