COLTON® continues to make its mark across Texas.
The 5,700-acre master-planned community by AIRIA Development® Company earned two statewide honors at the prestigious 2026 Texas Star Awards, taking home Best Billboard and Best Radio Commercial for its Grand Opening marketing campaign after being named a finalist in four categories.
Presented by the Texas Association of Builders during the 2026 Sunbelt Builders Show® in San Antonio, the Star Awards recognize the best marketing, design and sales achievements across Texas’ homebuilding industry.
The awards add to a growing list of accolades for COLTON since grand opening in June of 2025, including Houston Agent Magazine’s 2025 Master-Planned Community/Project of the Year and a Best Use of Technology Gold Award at The Nationals, presented by the National Association of Home Builders, for its immersive community launch event, “A Taste of COLTON”.
“Every decision we’ve made has been intentional,” said Rivers LeGrand, Marketing Manager for AIRIA Development Company. “From bringing back authentic Texas architecture with exclusive home elevations you can only find in COLTON to creating a brand that feels unmistakably Texan, we’ve worked to build something that stands apart. To have that vision recognized on a statewide stage is incredibly rewarding.”
COLTON was also represented by builder partner J. Patrick Homes, whose Comal II model home earned the Best Interior Merchandising ($800,000–$1 Million) award after being named a finalist in three categories.
Located at SH 249 and FM 1486 in Montgomery County, Todd Mission area, COLTON celebrates Quintessential Texas Living through architecture inspired by the state’s rich heritage, exclusive exterior home designs created specifically for the community, and amenity gathering places designed to bring neighbors together.
The recognition reinforces COLTON’s commitment to creating a community that feels distinctly Texas—not only in the homes being built, but in every experience, every detail and every first impression.
