What is being built

Two kinds of building are going on here at once. Around the neighborhood there is a freight and warehouse corridor going up, and inside it the last section is slowly filling in.

Everything below comes from the Harris Central Appraisal District's public roll and its permit records.¹²

Around the neighborhood

Twelve commercial and industrial parcels were built or rebuilt between 2019 and 2025, covering about 205 acres and carrying roughly $196 million of value on the 2026 roll.²

It has been steady rather than sudden, at one or two of these a year every year since 2019.

The most recent one is the closest. 16780 Hwy 59 N is the 62.5 acre tract off the neighborhood's north side and it pulled a new building permit on January 20, 2026.² See what is around us for who owns the land in every direction.

Inside the neighborhood

Timberwood is still being built, slowly. Seventeen houses have gone up since 2015 and the pace has not stopped, with two in 2024 and two in 2025.²

Nearly all of it is Section 10 on Mallard Bend Lane and the east end of Eagle Nest Lane, which was platted in 2020 and replatted in 2023. 75 of that section's 76 lots still belong to the builder, so there is a good deal left to go. See how Timberwood got here.

In February 2026 the appraisal district recorded new dwelling permits on Mallard Bend Lane and Pheasant Run Lane.²

What the permit record can and cannot tell you

The district holds 459 permit records across the parcels on this map.² They are useful for seeing what is going up and roughly when.

Three limits:

• The roll names who owns the land and not who occupies the building. A warehouse here is typically built by a developer and leased, so the company operating a building is usually not the company on the deed.
• Only about one Timberwood account in five carries any permit row at all. A house with no permit on file does not mean no work was done.
• These are county records. Timberwood is inside the city, so the City of Humble permits most work here instead, and the city's permit portal is not machine readable. See permits.

To look up a specific lot, use the map. It draws from the same records.

Still open

• What the new building at 16780 Hwy 59 N will be, and who will occupy it.
• Whether the builder in Section 10 is still actively selling.
• Whether the freight corridor has changed drainage on this side of the neighborhood. See storms and floods on the record, where the gauge data carries a note about urbanization.
