Located in the rapidly growing Waller County along the newly expanded U.S. 290, Beacon Hill offers shovel-ready sites for immediate development. This master-planned environment is suitable for uses ranging from light industrial and office to retail, multifamily and hospitality. In July 2025, Memorial Hermann Health System acquired 40.3 acres in Beacon Hill – West, reflecting its commitment to meeting the growing healthcare needs of the region’s rapidly expanding population. Hines previously purchased 78 acres for a build-to-suit project, which can accommodate up to 1,300,000 square feet of distribution, manufacturing, or logistics capacity. The project will feature industry-leading building characteristics consistent with the Hines’ brand and the integrity and quality of the Beacon Hill development. In developing this project, Wolff Companies will continue its legacy of respecting and enhancing the property’s natural environment. Wolff Companies has established protective covenants to control signage, landscaping, parking and building materials. These features ensure that Beacon Hill will be a first-rate development that will only increase in value over time. On the southern 317 acres abutting the freeway, with more than 8,200 feet of frontage, Wolff Companies is developing a business park with uses ranging from light industrial and distribution to office, multifamily, and retail, all supported by utilities and services from the City of Waller. More than $33 million has already been invested in the community, which is now fully served by City of Waller utilities. Beacon Hill Boulevard, the community’s main thoroughfare, connects Highway U.S. 290 to Owens Road on the northern side of the property. In summer 2024, construction started on a new exit ramp and frontage road which will create direct access from U.S. 290 to Beacon Hill by Fall 2025. On the northernmost 270 acres of the tract, Long Lake is developing a master-planned residential community featuring approximately 870 homes, priced from $240s to $470s. First residents moved to Beacon Hill in August 2021. As of summer 2025, more than 200 families have made Beacon Hill home, with many additional homes in various construction stages. The master-planned community also features 30 acres of green recreational space, scenic ponds and paved walking trails, as well as a newly completed recreation center, including a swimming pool. In addition to Long Lake, other respected master-planned community developers have substantial projects in the area, including Attwater, Lakeview, Bridgeland, Dunham Point, The Grand Prairie, Jubilee, Bellamina, Sagebrush, The Grange, Bluestem, Towne Lake, and Cypress Green, all of which are driving growth in the 290 Corridor.
