Red Oak Development Group

At Red Oak Development Group, we’re redefining what it means to create truly unique and thriving master-planned communities. Our goal isn’t just to build places where people live—it’s to design communities that people fall in love with, over and over again.

For us, success means creating spaces where residents have everything they need to live, connect, and thrive—so much so that they never feel the need to leave. From front porches that foster connection with neighbors, to vibrant village greens, food halls, and brew pubs that bring people together, we design communities that feel like home in every sense of the word.

A great community is like a great party—people want to stay longer. And at Red Oak, we take pride in creating places that feel alive, welcoming, and full of opportunities for connection.

Developing With The 15-Minute City In Mind 🌆🚶‍♂️🕒

Can you imagine having everything you need within a short walk from your home? For many of us who are not living in the heart of a major metropolitan city, which is most of Texas, the idea of minimizing our reliance on cars is both novel and appealing. In our CEO, Tom Staub's latest video, he explores the concept, inspired by some of the world's most efficiently designed urban spaces.

At Red Oak, we're dedicated to bringing this vision to life by creating interactive, multi-use environments within our developments. For us, it’s about making every acre count, transforming how we live by enhancing accessibility and enriching daily experiences. 🌍👣
