KTGY Announces Completion of Veranda Dellbrook, a New Build-to-Rent Community in Hockley, Texas

HOCKLEY, Texas - KTGY, [https://ktgy.com/] an award-winning national design firm focused on architecture, interior design, branded environments and urban design, is pleased to announce the completion of Veranda Dellbrook [https://ktgy.com/Work/veranda-dellbrook/], a new single-family build-to-rent community developed in partnership with Empire Homes. Located within the Dellrose master-planned community, Veranda Dellbrook sets a new standard for detached rental living, shaped by KTGY's innovative approach to design and market analysis.

Veranda Dellbrook draws inspiration from a concept developed by KTGY's Research + Development Studio, known as "The Patch [https://ktgy.com/Work/the-patch/]," which anticipated the rising demand from renters seeking to move from traditional stacked apartments to detached homes. By thoughtfully adapting this concept, KTGY's designers and Empire Homes created a cottage-style community that blends the privacy of single-family living with the convenience of a professionally managed, highly amenitized neighborhood. The site design features internal paseos and walkways that connect each home to amenity spaces throughout the community, fostering an environment that emphasizes active mobility.

The community's design was guided by a core objective: to create residences that balance operational advantages with a high-quality living experience. KTGY's solution was a central, repeatable floor plan module of 634 square feet that includes one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a living space that opens to a private side yard. This "core" plan ensures consistency across home types, streamlining construction while preserving the comfort, privacy and connection to outdoor space that today's renters value.

"Our core objective was to design a community that delivers long-term value and operational advantages for the client, while never losing sight of the resident experience," said Alan Scales [https://ktgy.com/People/alan-scales/], principal and board of directors member, KTGY. "By leveraging a single, repeatable floor plan module, we were able to streamline construction and ensure design flexibility, without compromising the comfort, privacy and livability that today's renters expect."

Veranda Dellbrook's aesthetic is modern farmhouse chic - intentionally bold yet contextually compatible with its surroundings. The home designs combine traditional materials with a contemporary sensibility, reshaping familiar forms and using rich architectural details. A monochromatic palette of grays, blacks and whites creates visual cohesion, while pitched rooflines add spaciousness and architectural interest.

The residences are designed to emphasize their strong connection to private outdoor spaces. Strategically placed windows maximize natural light while preserving privacy. Interior layouts were carefully arranged to ensure solitude, with walls bordering neighboring yards kept free of visual connections, allowing residents to enjoy quiet moments without sacrificing livability.

"We approached Veranda Dellbrook with a deep sensitivity to how people want to live - not just today, but in the years ahead," added Scales. "Every design decision was made to enhance livability, from the way light moves through the homes to how each residence relates to its private yard. The result is a meaningful sense of place where individuals, couples and families can truly feel at home."

Located in a serene enclave of Hockley, Veranda Dellbrook offers a peaceful retreat from Houston's urban core without sacrificing modern conveniences. The community is ideally located within a short drive of major employers via the Grand Parkway and is minutes from local attractions such as the Houston Premium Outlets and Cypress Lakes Golf Club.

Rooted in the values that matter to families - from young couples to empty-nesters - Veranda Dellbrook features a diverse mix of home sizes, modular floor plans and a pet-friendly policy with no weight restrictions. Together, these elements create a welcoming, active and vibrant community crafted to meet both resident needs and client goals.
