Celina's Rainwater Crossing Community Set to Open Spring 2026

Every campus in Celina Independent School District is already projected to exceed capacity within three years. Green Brick Partners and HFI Capital Management are about to add 1,900 more homesites to that equation.

Rainwater Crossing, a 550-acre master-planned community near GA Moore Parkway and the future Coit Road alignment in Celina, is on track for a spring 2026 debut, with model homes from Normandy Homes and Centre Living Homes expected to open in May. The joint venture marks Green Brick's sixth community in Celina, and the Dallas-Fort Worth region's third-largest homebuilder is bringing two of its five Texas subsidiary builders to the project's opening phase.

The development's first amenity investment of $2.5 million centers on a space called "The Perch." When complete, The Perch will include a resort-style pool and splashpad, pickleball courts, a playground, a hammock park and a clubhouse. The broader community plan adds over 6 miles of trails and three additional amenity sites slated for future phases. The sales center is already operational as infrastructure and amenity construction continue on site.

For families living near the GA Moore Parkway corridor today, Rainwater Crossing's 1,900 homesites represent roughly 15 percent of the 12,500 new homes projected across all of Celina ISD over the next five years alone. The district expects enrollment to grow by more than 7,000 students in that period, with more than 800 people moving to Celina every month. Celina ISD opened Vasquez Elementary in August 2025 and has another campus scheduled for 2026, yet its own planning documents show every existing school will still exceed capacity within three years.

Coit Road, the future alignment bordering the development, is designated as a primary growth corridor in Celina's long-range thoroughfare plan, connecting new residential areas with schools and commercial nodes across the city. Which road segments get widened, who funds water and sewer extensions serving Rainwater Crossing, and how quickly those commitments are formalized in subdivision agreements are details that have not been publicly disclosed by the developers or the city. Local officials and Green Brick are expected to work through those specifics as permitting activity accelerates into summer.

Builder pricing and open-house schedules for Normandy Homes and Centre Living Homes are expected to be published when the May model openings arrive, giving both prospective buyers and existing Celina residents a clearer picture of how quickly 1,900 new households will begin arriving on their doorstep.
