Walton Global Sells Master Planned Community Acreage Near Dallas-Fort Worth
Walton Global, a real estate and land asset management company and sponsor of private placement investments, has sold 2,812 acres to Minto Communities within the larger 3,169-acre master planned community in Ellis County, Texas.
“This transaction demonstrates the continued strength of the Dallas-Fort Worth market and represents an important opportunity to deliver a comprehensive planned development to the south Dallas region,” said Rob Nixon, senior vice president of real estate in the Central Region for Walton Global.
Walton said it continues its strategic approach to large-scale land development through targeted sales that align with regional growth patterns. The project, known as Kemp Ranch, is part of the company’s broader land development strategy in high-growth markets.
“Waxahachie offers great potential, being positioned in the next growth area for the metro corridor. This is exactly the type of prime location where thoughtful planning can meet strong market fundamentals,” added Nixon.
According to Walton, the project will be among Minto Communities’ first developments in Texas, and will include residential, mixed-use, and commercial space. It will include a clubhouse, over 400 acres of parks and green spaces, and multiple schools, including one middle and three elementary schools. It is located roughly 26 miles from downtown Dallas and 29 miles from downtown Fort Worth, with access to downtown Waxahachie via the nearby I-35 E.
The company said the master planned community is set to become the largest residential and mixed-use development in the region, with construction expected to begin in late 2026.
