Aliana Developments

[AK123]

I've driven through a few times, and have been impressed at what there is so far.

Any idea when there will be any commercial/retail? I know tons of people just waiting for that HEB to be built! People in Telfair are waiting for it too, apparently they have no plans for a grocery store and the Sienna Plantation fancy HEB is too far.

What about the polo field? When will that start hosting games?

Seems like Aliana hasn't done much advertising, I'm only just now starting to see some the last few months.

The LPGA tour championship will be literally next door this November. I wonder if Aliana and any surrounding communities might get a few people looking at the new homes just from the extra traffic... with a national event like that, hopefully Aliana and the whole FM 1464 area will put their best face forward for that. (It would be a start if someone would clean up that mess of excess signage on FM 1464 where it curves around to meet Hwy 99!)

I would think Aliana would take advantage of having a high-caliber event like that next door.

The estimated completion of construction on the 17,000 s.f. amenity center is the first part of November 2009. The center will be completed in about one year from the start of construction. This is amazing for this size building with the quality of finishes that will be included in the construction which includes the fully furnished Tuscan style clubhouse, the 300,000 gallon resort-style pool, and all site improvements.

The $6 million clubhouse will be luxuriously furnished and features a ballroom, two large party rooms, a fully furnished workout gym with state-of-the-art equipment, locker rooms for changing, interactive computer room with Wii stations, a dual furnished commercial-grade kitchen and large covered patios for outdoor parties. The $1.5 million resort-style pool will have separate lap pool lanes, slides, water-park like toys and a multilevel waterfall style design.

These exceptional amenities are available to all Aliana residents for no additional HOA dues.

Aliana Development has begun to design the extension of utilities through Westmoor for the school and FBISD has indicated they will have the elementary school ready for the 2011-2012 school year. The actual start of construction falls on the FBISD but it is expected that they will start construction in the early part of 2010.

The changes since February are amazing. The exclusive designer glass monuments will be done in the next couple of weeks. The road to the Polo Club, lake and pumping systems are complete and the sprigging of the field has started. Also, Aliana phase one landscaping is complete.

From the article,

"... Travis Stone, the new president of Aliana Development Co. Stone took the job after years at the local division of Newland Communities, where he was most recently senior vice president. He oversaw development, sales and operations for the company's four Houston-area communities — including Cinco Ranch and Telfair."

I'd expect Aliana to end up a lot more similar to Cinco Ranch and Telfair in the end, with him as the head. Which should be a good thing... apparently the original plans were more geared toward Dallas area buyers and homebuilders, rather than Houston area buyers and homebuilders, whatever that meant exactly.

Also, if Aliana REALLY wanted to kick it up a notch, they'd attract a Costco or Trader Joe's location.

I drove through on West Airport Blvd and noticed they recently changed several signs that used to say "future residential" to "future commercial." That's a lot of future commercial. Perhaps this is going to be a future town-center sort of development? Whatever it is, it's pretty big.

Also, a recent press release from their web site:

Last year, Aliana Development Company announced it would be making changes to the existing land plans for the community by mid April 2011. A newentry is being created along the Grand Parkway with a soaring light tower reminiscent of the early craftsmen style. Like a tapestry, the landscape will have small touches of stone walls that naturally merge into the scenery and plantings woven into the terrain. The landscape plans embrace a street scene that will offer gentle, rolling movement. The developer also announced it will build a new model home village, scheduled to open in the spring of 2012, which will showcase model homes offered by Aliana’s premier team of builders.

Recently, Stone and his team met with the builders to unveil Aliana’s refreshed look - which includes a new brand logo and enhanced website. The builders were given an opportunity to view an upgraded master plan for the community along with artist’s renderings of the new planned entrance off the Grand Parkway and of the model home village.

I'm confused regarding Aliana.  Is this thread for the large shopping center by New Quest? The Grand at Aliana.
