Nearly a century ago, M.T. Cole dug a 13-acre lake here with mule-drawn equipment. It still holds water.

The lake stays. So does significant native prairie, creek corridors and wooded stretches UNT has been studying since before the first plans were drawn. More than 1,200 acres stay open, with 26 miles of trails.

For ninety years, this was a place people came to. The plan keeps it that way.

Cole Ranch is being planned as part of Denton, not apart from it.

At the Denton County Growth Summit, Johnson Development's Tommy Tucker joined local leaders to talk about the future of growth in Denton.

For us, that future starts with honoring 95 years of Cole family history, caring for the land and building relationships throughout the community long before our first residents arrive.

There is much more to come.

Excited to share something we've been working on: Caring for the Prairie, our new partnership with University of North Texas and the Cole family to preserve native prairie right here at Cole Ranch.

Since last fall, UNT students and volunteers have been collecting native grasses, wildflowers, and soil, carefully relocating them so they can be reintroduced once our parks and trails are built. One section of prairie even scored a perfect 10 out of 10 for how close it remains to its pre-settlement condition.

More to come as this partnership grows 🌾

Your first look at the refined Cole Ranch logo.

Designed to reflect the legacy of this land, the Gambel's quail, native to this land, carries nearly a century of Cole family history in every detail.

Denton, we can't wait to share what's next.

Cole Ranch is entering its next chapter.
We recently gathered in Denton with members of the Cole family, Johnson Development, and the project team for a private ceremonial groundbreaking.

The milestone also offered a first look at the refined Cole Ranch brand, created to honor the history of the land while giving the community a fresh identity for the future.

More details will be shared with the public and greater Denton community later this year.
