The 538-acre site for Edgewater, Webster's first mixed-use, master-planned community, has seen great changes since the project began in January 2006.
The former power plant infrastructure that was on the property was demolished in January 2007, and the first phase (approximately 2,100 linear feet) of Water Street, the major thoroughfare in the community, has been completed. The remaining two phases are set to be finished by August 2008.
Plans are underway for the first high-end multi-family development.
The Villas, a collection of 414 apartments will be developed on 27 acres by Atlanta-based Davis Development. In addition, during early fall of 2008, 110 single-family lots are slated to be developed.
Planned to become the area's most prestigious address with an English Regency style architectural theme, Edgewater will encompass an ideal mix of single family and custom single family residences supported by “town centered” upscale retail, commercial, luxury apartment, townhome and mid-rise residential components.
Plants appropriate to the English garden inspired landscaping will continue throughout the community.
Residents will enjoy a marina with a custom designed club house and pool, lakes, lush landscaping and nature trails leading to a 35-acre nature preserve situated on the banks of Clear Creek. Boating enthusiasts will have convenient protected waterway access to Clear Lake, Galveston Bay and beyond and will be able to dock their vessels in the Edgewater Marina. Custom home owners will have the choice of marina docking or housing boats along one of several canals adjacent to the custom home island section of Edgewater.
