Founded in 1989, Academy Development was established with a vision to bring a luxury private lake development concept to the greater Houston area. Pioneering this concept Academy forged its place as one of Houston's premier development companies. Since the early years, Academy has grown into a state-wide company, developing over 25,000 lots in Greater Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Bryan/College Station. From beautiful, private lake communities to more traditional subdivisions, the goal set by our founder, has always been to build a community you will be proud to call home.
