Huntsville Planning Commission Backs 400-Acre Westmoore Landing, Clearing Way for Up to 3,000 Homes

The plan positions thousands of homes near major job hubs to ease housing pressure.

Overview

  • Commissioners approved a rezoning to Planned Development – Housing District LUI 56 for the Limestone County site, with a final City Council vote still required.
  • The 395–400-acre tract south of I-565 and east of I-65, annexed into Huntsville earlier this year, will be master planned as Westmoore Landing with housing and retail.
  • Developers Land Innovations and Rochford Realty outline a mix of single-family homes, cottages, duplexes, townhomes and multifamily units to create a village-style community.
  • Developers say they hope to break ground in spring 2026 and welcome first residents in 2027, while a commissioner presentation noted full buildout could stretch decades.
  • City planners have identified a site for an elementary/middle school, and officials say state protections and site assessments will guide responses to archaeological and environmental concerns.
