Plans for multiple large residential developments in the Limestone County portion of Huntsville are moving forward, according to recent planning updates. City officials reviewed several projects that will add hundreds of homes and expand housing options across the area.
Greenbrier Preserve Expands Housing Plans
Plans advanced for additional phases of Greenbrier Preserve. The Huntsville Planning Commission granted preliminary approval for 56 lots in the Maple Grove section of Greenbrier Preserve South.
The broader development includes more than 1,100 planned homes across a 94-acre site. The Maple Grove and Heritage Park sections form part of the overall project. Developers previously completed approvals for earlier phases, including 47 lots in the first Maple Grove phase.
In addition, the design includes carriage houses, courtyard homes, and lot sizes starting around 5,400 square feet. Home sizes are expected to range from about 1,700 to 2,700 square feet. As a result, the development aims to balance affordability with quality housing for local workers and nearby employers.
Westmoore Landing and Mixed-Use Growth
The Planning Commission also approved a relayout of 63 lots for Westmoore Landing. This project sits near the I-65 and I-565 interchange and represents a larger mixed-use community.
Developers plan to build about 3,000 homes in total at full buildout. The community will include single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, retail space, parks, and a town center. Therefore, the project will function as a long-term, Village-of-Providence-style development. Completion is expected to take up to 30 years.
Summit at Monte Sano Moves Forward
The Commission also granted final approval for the second phase of Summit at Monte Sano. This phase includes 41 additional lots in the mountain-area development.
The project previously faced concerns from nearby residents regarding traffic, drainage, and environmental impact. However, the developer said the homes will align with the character of the mountain. In response to flooding issues from a prior major storm event, the developer also worked to improve drainage and mitigation measures.
Additionally, the developer pledged to donate unused land around the project to the Land Trust of North Alabama.
Construction and phased development will continue as approvals move forward.
