General Electric has announced their agreement with Land Tejas Cos., a Houston-based developer, to create the first community to utilize the ecomagination program, of GE. Land Tejas is best known for developing the Houston Canyon Gate Community.

This is a huge announcement that will affect the Houston Texas real estate market. It seems that everyone is going green, including the newly constructed Houston homes for sale. The ecomagination program will be launched at Discovery at Spring Trails, a community of Land Tejas.

The new program, of GE, is designed to create a cost-effective living environment. The principles of conservation and efficiency will be applied to the design of the entire community. Also, the community will promote the conservation of both water and energy technologies used in all of the common living areas.

Al Brende, a co-founder of Land Tejas said, “Land Tejas is committed to developing environmentally responsible communities that are more energy efficient, less emissive and more self-sufficient.”

Construction of the first lots of Discovery at Spring Trails has already begun. The prices of the homes, in the community, will cost anywhere from $170,000 to $300,000. Buyers will be able to choose to purchase a home in a non-gated or a gated neighborhood.

Discovery at Spring Trails will be a wonderful addition to the Houston residential real estate market. Homes that are “green” or energy efficient are top sellers because of the rising cost of energy and other utilities. Houston Realtors believe that all of the homes in Discovery at Spring Trails will sell quickly.
