The master-planned community is currently being developed within the Pilot Knob MUD which had been under review since 2012.[2]

The community is being developed by Canadian-based Brookfield Residential as a collections of neighborhoods connected with 13.1 miles of trails[3] and 360 acres of open space parks, recreational, and limited commercial use. When complete, the project is anticipated to have 14,300 residential units and 5.35 million square feet of commercial real estate.[4]
