In a joint venture, homebuilders Tri Pointe Homes and M/I Homes have begun construction at a 188-acre community called Heritage in Dripping Springs.
Tri Pointe will build a total of 293 single-family homes across three collections that will range from approximately 1,600 to 3,100 square feet with three to five bedrooms, two to three bathrooms and two to three bay garages with open concept designs, spacious living and gourmet kitchen options.
M/I Homes will build 293 one and two-story homes with three series that will range from approximately 1,300 to 3,500 square feet with a variety of floor plan options that offer customizable layouts, from two to five bedrooms and game room additions.
Additionally, all of the Heritage homes will be designed and independently certified to exceed local energy codes, including Energy Star certified.
“We’re excited to be kicking off construction at Heritage in the Dripping Springs market, where we’ll provide homebuyers with beautiful craftsman and modern Hill Country home designs with an abundance of outdoors appeal,” said Bryan Havel, Tri Pointe Homes Austin’s Division President. “Our desire is to create a community that preserves the integrity and charm that Dripping Springs offers while delivering homebuyers leading-edge design, personalization and enduring craftsmanship.”
Upon completion, Heritage plans to feature an array of community amenities including a community center, several pocket parks and walking trails throughout.
The community is situated in an ideal location in the heart of town surrounded by the historic district, and residents will be able to take a trail from Heritage to downtown Dripping Springs.
The community is also located directly across Highway 12 from Founders Memorial Park, to the east of the large Sportsplex park and minutes from Dripping Springs ISD schools.
“The Heritage location is a really appealing choice for families given the superior schools, quick access to central Austin and all of the capital city’s amenities and attractions, as well as the special quality of life they will enjoy in a fast-growing submarket with a small-town feel,” said Kreg Conner, M/I Homes’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Sales at both Tri Pointe’s new home collections and M/I’s new home series are anticipated to start in fall 2022.
