"Development will happen in two phases. Phase 1 should begin in the fourth quarter of this year and include about 1,200 lots on the first 500 acres, Vembutty said.

The community will include more than 200 acres of amenity space, including a nature preserve, detention ponds with an 8-mile trail system, a recreation center with a gym, a resort-style pool and a lap pool, and a playground.

According to the developer agreement, the city of Angleton will annex Ashland, which is currently in its extraterritorial jurisdiction, into the city limits once it’s close to full build-out.

The contract also gives Ashton Gray and the city two years to secure an agreement from Brazoria County and the Texas Department of Transportation to develop Highway 288 frontage roads.

If no agreement is reached, Ashton Gray will be able to develop the tracts intended for commercial use as residential instead. If they succeed in getting a frontage road built, the plan is to develop a mixed-use retail district.

“I would love to see something really, really nice like a town center or something of that architecture or that design,” Angleton Mayor Jason Perez said. “Because that is going to be the front door of the community.”

With nearly 2,500 homes, Ashland could bring more than 7,000 new residents to the town, which hasn’t grown much in the past 20 years. Its population was 18,130 in 2000 and 19,437 in the 2020 U.S. Census."
