Investing in real estate has always been about timing—but in the world of land development, it’s also about positioning. While many developers compete for already-built environments, the most strategic growth happens at the pre-development stage—when land is still in its early phase but fully aligned with where cities, infrastructure, and population growth are heading next.
At Union Design Developers, we specialize in preparing land for that next stage—bringing zoning, infrastructure, and site design together so builders and investors can move quickly when the time is right. For buyers looking to establish a footprint in South Texas, pre-development land is more than just acreage—it’s opportunity with a head start.
Why Pre-Development Land Holds Strategic Value
The benefits of acquiring land before full development are clear, especially in rapidly growing areas like Mission, Brownsville, Edinburg, and their surrounding corridors. Pre-development land often comes at a lower cost basis and offers flexibility for phasing, subdivision, or vertical planning. But just as important is location—specifically, access to utilities, roads, schools, and city-planned growth zones.
Union Design Developers identifies, secures, and prepares tracts that check these boxes. Our projects are engineered to fit within city expansion plans and regional housing demand trends, allowing builders and investors to capitalize when the market is ready.
Rio Grande Valley Projects Positioned for Growth
In Brownsville, Texas, our 173-acre Riverbend development is being built in phases, with engineered lots and utilities in place. Two residential phases are already complete, and future projects—including The Heights at Riverbend III, The Estates at Riverbend, and Green Acres at Riverbend—are being planned with community integration and long-term absorption in mind. This corridor is not only growing in population but seeing meaningful investment in roads, schools, and public infrastructure.
In Edinburg, Union Design Developers controls 100 acres in the Monte Cristo corridor, a stretch of the Valley already seeing demand from both custom home builders and national brands. The Monte Cristo Project is in planning stages for phased residential development, with proximity to schools, arterial roads, and expanding commercial nodes.
In Cameron County, our San Pedro Project includes 110 acres of land designated for future residential development. Like our other holdings, the site has been positioned to align with city growth plans and represents a strong opportunity for long-term builders and private investors alike.
From Land to Development: A Simplified Path
The challenge for most investors isn’t locating land—it’s understanding whether that land can be developed without years of red tape, permitting delays, or utility uncertainty. That’s where Union Design Developers offers a clear advantage.
Each of our residential sites undergoes extensive pre-development preparation. That includes zoning verification, subdivision planning, access to water and sewer infrastructure, and engineered layout support. This allows builders to step in when market demand peaks—without the delay and risk that raw land often brings.
Long-Term Partnerships, Local Insight
Union Design Developers doesn’t just prepare land—we work closely with cities, engineers, and builders to ensure every project contributes to sustainable regional growth. Our model is based on partnership: aligning land planning with long-term development needs so that every project—residential, industrial, or mixed-use—is built to succeed.
Whether you’re a local builder looking for your next subdivision or an investor evaluating long-range residential corridors, we can help you identify land that’s ready for what’s next.
