Conroe & Montgomery: 2026 Brings New Developments

**Conroe and Montgomery Poised for Major Growth Spurt with Six New Developments Slated for 2026**

**CONROE & MONTGOMERY, TX –** The rapidly expanding communities of Conroe and Montgomery are gearing up for a significant transformation in 2026, with at least six major commercial and residential projects poised to open their doors, signaling a new wave of growth, convenience, and opportunity for residents. These developments underscore Montgomery County’s reputation as one of the fastest-growing regions in Texas, attracting both major corporations and new families.

“Montgomery County continues to be a magnet for both residents and businesses, driven by our quality of life, robust economy, and strategic location,” stated Danielle Jones, President of the Conroe Economic Development Council (simulated quote). “The projects slated for 2026 represent substantial investments that will not only create jobs but also enhance local amenities and residential options, further solidifying our position as a desirable place to live, work, and play.”

**Denton-Wooten Ranch: A New Master-Planned Community for Montgomery**

Leading the charge in new residential offerings is the **Denton-Wooten Ranch**, a sprawling master-planned community developed by Land Tejas and Starwood Land in Montgomery. Located strategically at the intersection of FM 2854 and Conroe-Gainesville Road, this massive mixed-use development is set to introduce approximately 4,000 new homes, ranging from single-family residences to townhomes, designed to accommodate diverse family needs.

Beyond housing, Denton-Wooten Ranch plans call for a vibrant commercial hub featuring new retail spaces, diverse restaurant options, and a dedicated event center. Residents will also benefit from an array of recreational amenities, including extensive park systems, miles of walking and biking trails, and potential community centers, fostering an active and engaged lifestyle. Initial phases of the development are projected to begin welcoming residents in early 2026.
