The Nehemiah Company broke ground Feb. 23 on Talia, a new community that will bring approximately 2,500 new homes to families, the city of Mesquite, and the Forney Independent School District.
The community encompasses approximately 600 acres and is located along FM 2757 south of Interstate 20. Pre-sales should begin by year’s end.
“We want Talia to be a unique community where families can thrive holistically, ” said Robert Kembel, President of The Nehemiah Company. "We envision Talia to be a place where residents can renew each day, flourish and experience kindness, grace and joy through connection to this place and the people in it.”
The Nehemiah Company has selected builders Cadence Homes, Chesmar Homes, David Weekley Homes, Drees Custom Homes, and Highland Homes to offer floor plans ranging from townhomes through a selection of diverse homesites.
Included in Talia’s master plan are pocket parks and miles of trails, including nearly three miles of unpaved nature trails and another three miles of a 12-foot-wide trail that will wind around a community lake. A park along the lake will feature a yoga lawn, fireplace and hammock grove. Residents will also be able to enjoy an amenity center with a resort-style pool. Schools within the Forney Independent School District will be another plus, Kembel said.
