The Nehemiah Co. anticipates Talia to be 10-year buildout depending on market condition. In addition to the thousands of homes slated for delivery, the community will feature pocket parks, nearly 3 miles of unpaved trails and pickleball courts. The project is the Arlington-based residential development firm's first project in Mesquite.
'Mesquite is a progressive city led by forward-thinking public officials who are very proactive in bringing in a broad gamut of companies and want housing to support that diverse workforce,' Robert Kembel, president of the Nehemiah Co., said in a statement. 'We anticipate rampant growth in this area. Forney ISD also factored heavily into our decision – it's a wonderful school district that parents seek out. Working with community stakeholders to bring Talia to fruition has been a great experience.'
The Nehemiah Co. works with city and county governments to redevelop massive infill locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex primarily into housing, according to its website.
The firm is also developing its 2,000-acre Viridian project in Arlington and a 565-acre community in Crowley.
