800-acre community near Eagle Mountain Lake moves a step closer to reality
An 800-acre development that would feature more than 1,100 homes near Eagle Mountain Lake in northwest Fort Worth is one step closer to becoming a reality.
A Fort Worth-based engineering firm on Monday filed a commerical grading permit with the city, records show. The Estates at Eagle Mountain would sprawl across 836 acres on the edge of the Fort Worth city limits, boxed in by Bonds Ranch Road to the south, Peden Road to the north, and Morris Dido Newark Road to the west. Around 5% would also be set aside for commercial uses.
An employee for Westwood Professional Services, an engineering and land surveying firm with offices in Fort Worth and Austin, filed for the grading permit, records show. The project’s developer is Centurion American Development group, which first unveiled plans for the community in April 2024.
Monday’s filings are the first signs that the project could be nearing since plans were shared in April 2024. Centurion at the time described the project as a “1,100 single-family home community.” The transaction was brokered by David Davidson Jr. and Edward Bogel of Davidson Bogel Real Estate, and they will continue to market 36 additional acres of commercial land adjacent to the development, according to Centurion.
Centurion manages real estate across Dallas-Fort Worth, including a seperate purchase of Rio Claro, a 629-acre master planned community next to the proposed Estates at Eagle Mountain. The transaction of Rio Claro closed on Oct. 3, 2025. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The two communities cover almost 1,500 acres and are planned to create around 3,000 single-family lots. Centurion was also behind the 540-acre master planned Resort on Eagle Mountain Lake.
The homes of Estates at Eagle Mountain will be on lots a half acre to an acre in size, and will be a two mile drive from Eagle Mountain High School, which opened in August 2024, just months after Centurion annonuced its plans for the housing community.
The Tarrant County Commissioners Court also approved the creation of a public improvement district for the development a week before Centurion announced its plan for the community in April 2024. The special tax zone, which is exlusive to the property, will exact a property tax on future homeowners and buisnesses to fund the creation and maintenance of future roads, sewers and water utilities across the development.
Information on the price of homes in the Estates at Eagle Mountain are not yet known.
