Builders
As of February 2012, the current active builders are Ashton Woods Homes, Newmark Homes Houston, Taylor-Morrison, Coventry Homes, and Perry Homes. Ashton Woods, Coventry, and Perry Homes are the builders in main section of Southern Trails (east of Kingsley Drive). Taylor-Morrison and Newmark Homes are the builders in the Enclave at Southern Trails (west of Kingsley Drive).
The original builders in Southern Trails included David Weekley Homes, Trendmaker Homes, Imperial, and Trophy.
David Weekley built out all their existing lots by 2008, and then stopped operations in Southern Trails.
Trendmaker Homes built out all their existing lots by 2009, and then stopped operations in Southern Trails.
Imperial Homes filed for bankruptcy in the late summer of 2009. They stopped building in Southern Trails. Their existing lots were sold to Ashton Woods, Coventry, and Perry Homes.
Newmark Homes Houston was formed in the summer of 2009 after buying the Newmark brand name from TOUSA. TOUSA had been struggling in bankruptcy proceedings for several years, and in 2009 finally decided to close operations in Texas. Newmark Homes Houston is now a local Houston-area building company.
Trophy Homes had been a subsidiary of Newmark and was not bought when Newmark folded in Texas. As of 2010, Trophy is defunct and has no new startups in the Enclave section of Southern Trails.
In August, 2011, it was announced that the primpary developer will be The Forestar Group. Forestar took over the role from Ashton Woods.
