Pelican Builders
6 active developments by Pelican Builders across Katy, Houston.
Pelican Builders currently has three active new-construction projects listed on the platform, spread across Houston and Katy, Texas. The lineup includes one condo project and two single-family home projects, giving buyers a mix of home types depending on whether they're looking for a low-maintenance unit or a standalone house.
Current projects include Memorial and Westmore in Houston, and The Reserve at Katy Boardwalk in Katy. This gives buyers a choice between an established urban market and a suburban Katy location, with home types matched to each setting — single-family homes in the suburban project and a condo option within Houston's city market.
Buyers considering a Pelican Builders home should review each project's specific documents, pricing, and timeline individually, since deposit structures and buyer protections can differ by home type under Texas law.

Buying a Pelican Builders pre-construction home
How buying pre-construction works
Buying pre-construction with Pelican Builders typically starts with registering interest in a specific project, which can provide earlier access to available units and pricing ahead of a broader public release. From there, buyers move into a purchase agreement with an initial deposit, and depending on the project, additional deposits may be staged at points through construction.
For the condo project, Texas law provides a buyer protection under Property Code §82.156: a 6-day rescission period after signing, during which the buyer may cancel the agreement. This rescission right applies to condo purchases only and does not apply to the single-family projects in Houston or Katy. Buyers should also understand the distinction between interim occupancy (when a home is livable but the project isn't fully closed out) and final closing, since timelines can differ between condo and single-family construction.
For investors: what to evaluate
Pre-construction deposit structures let a buyer put down a portion of the purchase price at signing and control a unit well before it's completed, with the balance typically due through staged payments or at closing. For Pelican Builders' projects specifically, this means evaluating the condo in Houston separately from the single-family projects in Houston and Katy, since rental demand, resale dynamics, and local supply can differ meaningfully between a city condo market and a suburban single-family market like Katy.
Before buying, investors should look at local absorption rates, how many comparable units or homes are coming to market nearby, and what rental demand looks like in that specific submarket. Home type matters too — a condo in Houston carries different carrying costs and tenant profiles than a single-family home in Katy. No outcome or appreciation can be assumed; each project should be assessed on its own supply and demand fundamentals.
For first-time buyers
Buying your first home from Pelican Builders means budgeting for an initial deposit at signing, with the exact minimum set out in each project's purchase agreement rather than a fixed platform-wide figure. First-time buyers in Texas should also look into state and local homebuyer assistance programs, which can help with down payment or closing costs depending on eligibility — specifics vary, so check current program rules directly.
Registering early for a Pelican Builders project, such as Memorial, Westmore, or The Reserve at Katy Boardwalk, can matter because pre-construction releases often open with a limited number of units or floorplans. Getting on a project's interest list before a public launch gives a buyer more time to review pricing and documents before making a decision.

What projects does Pelican Builders have right now?

Is there a rescission period for Pelican Builders' condos?
Yes. Under Texas Property Code §82.156, buyers of new condo units have a 6-day rescission period after signing a purchase agreement. This rule applies to condos only and does not extend to the single-family projects.
Do single-family homes from Pelican Builders have the same rescission protection?
No. The 6-day rescission period under §82.156 applies specifically to condominium purchases in Texas. Single-family home contracts are governed by the terms negotiated directly in the purchase agreement, so buyers should review those documents carefully.
How much deposit is typically required to reserve a Pelican Builders home?
Deposit structures vary by project and are set out in each purchase agreement. Buyers should confirm the specific deposit schedule, including any staged payments, directly with the project listing or sales office.
Is Katy or Houston a better location for an investor looking at Pelican Builders homes?
Each city has different supply and rental dynamics. Houston offers urban condo and single-family options, while Katy's single-family project sits in a suburban setting. Investors should evaluate local rental demand and absorption trends for each specific project rather than assuming one city is universally better.
Can I register early for a Pelican Builders project before it launches sales?
Many pre-construction projects allow early registration, which can provide earlier access to pricing and unit selection before a wider public release. Check each project's listing for current registration status.
