ABHR attorneys possess a unique breadth of experience and knowledge of infrastructure finance and local politics in creating and developing master planned communities throughout Texas.

 

ABHR attorneys have been involved with many of the most highly regarded and successful master planned communities in the greater Houston area including Twinwood, Marvida, Cinco Ranch, Sienna, Cross Creek Ranch, Elyson, First Colony, New Territory, Greatwood, Shadow Creek Ranch,  Telfair, and Towne Lake. ABHR attorneys have also led the public finance legal work in Central Texas communities including Teravista, Falcon Pointe, Rocky Creek, Sweetwater, Travisso, Water Oak and Wolf Ranch.

ABHR attorneys work with the client at the initial conceptualization stage to develop an integrated multi-tiered financing structure to efficiently construct, operate and finance public infrastructure to meet developer and resident needs on a long-term basis. ABHR attorneys work with the client to negotiate development agreements with affected local municipalities to ensure the sustained development of these high-quality communities. ABHR serves as both general counsel and bond counsel to special districts within these communities.
