The Woodlands & Conroe Texas Johnson Development Announces Plans for Camp Strake

Johnson Development Announces Plans for Camp Strake The master-planned community developer purchased the 2,046-acre site from Sam Houston Area Council Boy Scouts of America for an undisclosed price in November 2013. The Montgomery County Commissioners Court signed off on a tax incentive on March 5 that will repay Johnson $20 million over 10 years as it builds out a large-scale mixed-used development on the 2,046-acre site. It sits on the southwest corner of Interstate 45 North and Loop 336, south of Conroe, with frontage on both I-45 and Loop 336. It also is less than 10 miles north of the new Exxon Mobil Corporate campus currently under construction. The project will include traditional single-family homes, townhomes, apartments for sale and rent, office and retail space, as well as space for hotels and conference centers, said Doug Goff, COO of Johnson Development Corp. Construction will begin on the project’s infrastructure in early 2015. Johnson Development is working out a contract to sell a portion of the property to Houston-based Fidelis Realty Partners, which will build a large-scale retail center in the mixed-use development on the 336 Loop, Goff said. He would not reveal how many acres the sale will include.
