The Grand Prairie welcomes Shea Homes® to homebuilder lineup in fast-growing Hockley, TX Community
The Grand Prairie, a top-selling Texas master-planned community developed in Hockley by EMBER, announces the addition of award-winning Shea Homes to its select group of homebuilders, adding new home designs that complement the community and support its continued growth.
Located 35 miles from downtown Houston, The Grand Prairie is a 1,730-acre master-planned community ideally situated six miles west of the Grand Parkway and one mile south of US 290. Located within the Waller Independent School District, the community features abundant natural amenities including four recreational lakes and miles of nature trails. Slated to open in 2026 is The Sundancer complex with resort-style swimming pool, splash park, playground, community center, and The Overlook, a 40-foot elevation offering sweeping views of the community’s breathtaking prairie sunsets.
At the Grand Prairie, Shea Homes will offer single-family homes with prices anticipated to start in the $440,000s. Homebuyers can choose from four- and five-bedroom floor plans ranging from 2,438 to 4,117 square feet. Many floor plans offer personalized options, from fireplaces and extended patios to flexible spaces that transform into guest suites, studies and playrooms. The model home is expected to open in Spring 2026. Shea Homes joins a unique section of The Grand Prairie offering homes on 60-, 65- and 70-foot homesites.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Shea Homes into the community. Shea Homes and EMBER share similar visions about how communities should be developed and what matters most: the residents that call our communities, like The Grand Prairie, home. We look forward to working together for years to come,” said Joe Grabinski, director of development for EMBER.
Grabinski noted Shea Homes is joining The Grand Prairie as demand for quality homes in the area continues. As the first master-planned community in Hockley, The Grand Prairie helped spark one of the region’s most active housing submarkets. Currently, Hockley ranks #4 on the list of “10 Hottest Communities in the Houston Area,” issued quarterly by the Houston Association of Realtors.
“The unique blend of natural beauty and thoughtful design at The Grand Prairie reflects EMBER’s commitment to exceptional living,” said Keith Luechefeld, division president of Shea Homes Houston. “It’s the perfect setting for the kind of discerning buyers who choose Shea Homes.”
Shea Homes joins a group of distinguished builders at The Grand Prairie that includes David Weekley Homes, Lennar, Perry Homes, Sitterle Homes, Village Builders, and Westin Homes. Home prices range from the mid- $200,000s to more than $700,000, with a variety of styles and floor plans to fit a wide range of lifestyles.
Visitors can begin their tour at The Grand Prairie’s award-winning Welcome Center and explore ten stunning model homes open daily. When fully complete, The Grand Prairie community will include about 6,000 homes on 1,730 acres.
