Conceived through an interactive, multiday workshop process in late February and early March 2018 that united key design team members — including architects, planners, landscape architects, engineers, homebuilders, municipal officials and the developer — Pecan Square pays homage to the simple, resourceful, shared lifestyle experience that prioritizes a slower pace and respect for the land.
Along with addressing key economic, social and environmental principles, the community vision is rooted in Hillwood’s Live Smart framework, which encompasses connection, well-being, enrichment, stewardship and convenience. Planned to ultimately include more than 3,000 homes, including 609 lots in the first phase, Pecan Square is inspired by the traditional community hub, the town square, which is the heart of the community and repurposed an existing community barn and other elements into multiuse amenities. The square is reached via the main drive into the community, FM 407, which is defined by two rows of 200 preserved pecan trees.
