Cole Ranch, a 3,100-acre master-planned community in Denton, has broken ground. The community will feature 4,365 single-family homes, 26 miles of trails, two large lakes, and 1,200 acres of green space.

The community will also have 156 acres of commercial retail space, a 55-acre business park, and 206 acres for two Denton ISD elementary schools. Partnerships with local residents will help preserve the green space and trails.
A private ceremonial groundbreaking was held June 3, and initial work to lay out utilities is being planned. The first phase of construction is expected to begin soon, with homes scheduled to be for sale in late 2027.
Cole Ranch has been a fixture in Denton County for nearly 100 years and was purchased by Miner Thomas “MT” Cole in the 1930s. The property was annexed to the city in 2006 and was rezoned to be a master-planned community in 2008.
“There’s no better time to enter the Denton market, which has grown nearly 29 percent since 2020,” said Tommy Tucker, Johnson Development’s vice president of business development for Central and North Texas. “A development like Cole Ranch is ideal for accommodating this kind of monumental growth, not only by bringing new homes to the area, but by doing so in a way that considers open space, schools, commercial opportunities and long-term livability.”
