Another sprawling residential development is headed to Harris County-this time targeting renters in Katy.

Located at the northwest corner of Clay Road and Katy Pointe Boulevard, a 17.2-acre site will soon transform into a 210-unit build-to-rent community, according to a story in Realty News Report. RSK Real Estate Partners-a Chicago developer-is expected to begin construction on the development in the coming weeks.

Known as The Landing at Katy Pointe, the development will include two- and three-bedroom duplexes, approximately 1,500 square feet, with attached garages and landscaped yards. The units are expected to be up for lease by the third quarter of 2026.

The build-to-rent boom in Houston continues to grow. Earlier this year, Point2Homes ranked Houston fifth nationwide for cities with the most single-family rental units in the pipeline. In 2024, RentCafe ranked Houston third for cities with build-to-rent homes under construction.

The Clay Road development is the second RSK Real Estate Partners’ build-to-rent community in Katy. The first, known as The Landing at Morton Ranch, consists of 156 units on a 9.4-acre site just one mile north of the newly proposed development.

“The Landing at Katy Pointe will fulfill needs of young families, professionals and empty nesters who desire the perks of a single-family home in a well-located growing area of Katy,” Rick Ragan, vice president of NewQuest who represented RSK in the transaction, said in their release.

Several other build-to-rent communities have also taken shape nearby, including Tricon’s 175-unit Peek Road community and AHV’s 176-unit Katy Legacy community.

Katy continues to be one of Houston’s fastest-growing suburbs, with several other large-scale residential and mixed-use developments underway.  The Katy ISD is also set to expand its footprint to meet the population boom, with plans for an estimated $64 million elementary school and a $72.5 million junior high.
