Sugar Land, TX. – May 15, 2025 – On May 13, The City of Sugar Land’s City Council approved the preliminary concept plan for Lake Pointe Green––a 53-acre redevelopment plan for the former Fluor Corporation campus. The City also approved a $7 million incentive to support new park land, civic spaces and an expansion of the Brooks Lake Trail—funded through sales tax revenue set aside specifically for projects that enhance public amenities.
In addition, the City will reimburse up to $5.3 million for demolition and environmental remediation—removing key barriers to redevelopment—and up to $12 million for public infrastructure.
These approvals enable Houston-based developer Lovett Group to move forward with plans for Lake Pointe Green, a pedestrian-friendly community centered around parks, trails and green spaces. Lovett has overseen the creation of luxury residential projects and large-scale, mixed-use redevelopments including POST Houston and the Polk District since 1980.
“Our City Council and staff partnered with the Lovett group to come up with a development plan for Lake Pointe which addresses the needs of our Sugar Land community,” said Mayor Joe R. Zimmerman. “I’m proud of our staff and the Lovett group for listening to input from our residents and incorporating a high-quality housing project while allowing for future community spaces.”
Lake Pointe Green is set to feature a mix of high-end residential options, including 25 to 30 acres of compact housing, such as townhomes, urban homes and cottages, and roughly 720 multifamily units. Lovett intentionally designed the community around the existing oak trees lining the property and has expressed plans to preserve as many trees as possible. Additionally, Lovett incorporated community feedback and expanded the plan to include flexible space for commercial use, should future market demand arise.
“We truly value the City of Sugar Land’s partnership on this important project,” said Frank Liu, founder of Lovett Group. “It’s been a rewarding experience working with a city that not only shares our vision but actively supports high-quality, thoughtful development. Sugar Land is home to a wealth of outdoor beauty, and it’s our mission to connect the area’s scenic natural areas to the places its people gather, fostering a lifestyle based on wellness, outdoor living and inter-generational community. Their proactive, solutions-oriented approach helped us move forward quickly and with confidence. This isn’t our first project in Sugar Land—and it won’t be our last. We’re proud to help shape the future of Lake Pointe and continue investing in a city positioned for long-term success.”
The approval of Lake Pointe Green is the result of a proactive and coordinated effort by the City of Sugar Land to ready one of its most strategic sites for redevelopment. Between 2021 and 2023, staff studied zoning tools and crafted a mixed-use code to support targeted redevelopment citywide, and in mid-2023, City Council directed staff to focus specifically on Lake Pointe, leading to the creation of a dedicated redevelopment district and rezoning of the former Fluor campus by the year’s end. In just 18 months, the City moved from initial visioning to full development approval—laying the foundation for one of Sugar Land’s most high-impact projects.
“This project showcases what’s possible when you lay the groundwork for redevelopment,” said Devon Rodriguez, Director of Redevelopment. “As Sugar Land approaches buildout, we must be smart about how we use the remaining land. Because we set the stage early, we were able to capitalize on an opportunity and attract a quality developer. Lake Pointe Green is a model for how proactive planning, policy alignment and public-private partnership can come together to create lasting value for the community.”
Over the next 25 years, the development is expected to generate roughly 1,000 new residences and more than $38 million in new property tax revenue—a meaningful return that supports city services and helps reduce the tax burden on existing homeowners.
With approvals in place, the project now moves to platting, an administrative step required to subdivide the property for development. Per the development agreement, the buyer is required to close on the property by the end of July 2025.
According to Lovett, construction could start as early as end of 2025.
