Summary
Hines, the Houston-based global real estate firm, has acquired Brown Ranch, a 1,476-acre parcel spanning Tarrant and Parker counties west of Fort Worth, according to reports from the Houston Business Journal and Dallas News. The company plans to develop about 3,800 homes on the land, which the Houston Business Journal described as a 3,800-home neighborhood.

According to a Dallas News listing, the acquisition involves Trez Capital, Harvest Capital and TPG, which are identified as financial partners in the transaction. The sources reviewed did not disclose the purchase price.

The City of Fort Worth council approved an agreement intended to guide development of the roughly 1,476 acres across Tarrant and Parker counties. That approval establishes a municipal framework for the project as it moves forward.

Hines has pursued similar large-scale land acquisitions in the Houston area, with one recent report describing nearly 3,000 acres in West Houston assembled with builders including Toll Brothers, Perry Homes and Highland Homes. The Brown Ranch project extends the firm's master-planned residential footprint into the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
