Spanning over 176 acres, this project aims to introduce around 2,000 new residents and more than 500 homes, while also incorporating civic spaces, commercial lots, and green spaces for a thriving community.

Mission, Texas – The City Council of Mission, Texas, has officially approved Phase I of the El Milagro Subdivision, a substantial master-planned community developed by Killam Development. This project will cover an expansive area of 176 acres and is projected to accommodate approximately 2,000 new residents in the city.

The El Milagro Subdivision is designed to include over 500 residential dwells within its first phase, incorporating 347 single-family homes and about 200 townhomes and apartments. These plans highlight a focus on community living by integrating civic spaces, commercial lots, essential drainage infrastructure, and ample green spaces.

Emphasizing walkability, the proposed design features wide sidewalks and interconnected streets to cultivate a vibrant neighborhood atmosphere. Alongside the residential units, Killam Development plans to launch nearly 30 acres of commercial and retail developments adjacent to the housing area.

The El Milagro community is expected to significantly influence growth along the Anzalduas Highway corridor, positioning it as a benchmark for large-scale developments throughout Hidalgo County. By aiming for walkable neighborhoods and sustainable urban environments, this initiative reflects Killam Development’s comprehensive vision for the region.

Founded in 1920, Killam Development has established a robust presence in South Texas, initially as an oil exploration firm before branching out into various sectors. The firm’s commitment to the Rio Grande Valley was solidified in 2019 when it acquired 3,400 acres from Hunt Valley Development, marking a significant expansion of its investment in local communities.

In addition to residential growth, Killam Development is advancing industrial expansion through projects such as the Sharyland Business Park, a 175-acre initiative near the Anzalduas International Bridge aimed at attracting businesses involved in manufacturing, logistics, and cold storage.

Killing Development’s recent achievements include receiving the 2025 “Lease of the Year” Impact Award for a notable leasing agreement in Mission. The company’s president highlighted the business-friendly environment of Mission, citing its strategic location and proactive leadership as catalysts for business confidence in the area.

The El Milagro project includes a tax levy that will only affect future homeowners within the new community, having received voter approval through a recent initiative. An election to issue $167.5 million in bonds for necessary infrastructure passed by a slim margin, leading to the establishment of a municipal management district for utilities and infrastructure management.

Projected prices for single-family homes in the El Milagro Subdivision will range from $200,000 to $250,000. Currently, the site consists of cleared agricultural land and an asphalt entry road, and further construction is dependent on the development of public infrastructure.

The creation of the El Milagro Management District aims to finance the crucial infrastructure projects needed for the new community. Additionally, voters have approved the consolidation of two water improvement districts to facilitate better resource management for future residents.

Overall, the El Milagro Subdivision represents a transformative development for Mission, Texas, promising to reshape the community and enhance economic prospects in the region.
