Aura Glenn Heights

The 336-unit Aura Glenn Heights apartment development is proposed on approximately 13.9 acres within the larger UHL Crossing planned development near Ovilla Road and South UHL Road.

The approximately 33.36-acre UHL Crossing property was rezoned in 2025 as Planned Development-32 with multifamily and commercial base zoning. The planned development allows multifamily construction at up to 25 units per acre, with a maximum of 350 multifamily units.

After the City Council denied Aura's site, landscape and elevation plans in July 2026, the applicant revised the proposal. City documents state that the landscaping was modified to comply with city requirements and building facades were redesigned to replace stucco finishes with brick masonry.

Commercial Development

More projects will be added as information becomes available.

GHF will add verified retail, commercial and other significant development projects as they move through the city's public process.

Development Doesn't End at the Property Line.

New development can increase the city's population and tax base while also creating additional demand on streets, water and wastewater systems, public safety, parks and other municipal services.

In June 2026, Glenn Heights Planning and Development Services estimated that pending and under-construction development could add approximately 9,195 residents to the city.

GHF will continue following how development intersects with infrastructure, public services, city finances and long-term planning as Glenn Heights grows.

An Independent Development Record.

The Glenn Heights Future Development Tracker is maintained as a civic reference using City of Glenn Heights records, agenda packets, Planning and Zoning materials, City Council actions and information provided by city officials.

Development is fluid. Projects may change in size, design, ownership, schedule or status before construction is complete. A project identified as pending is not a guarantee that it will be built.

GHF will update this page as additional verified information becomes public.
