Valera Homes Launches in Greater Houston with Four New Communities

HOUSTON, Sept. 28, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Valera Homes, a new residential homebuilding brand and sister company to StoneManor Homes, has officially launched in the Greater Houston area with a mission to make modern homeownership more accessible and streamlined. The company, led by industry veterans John Tucker and Scott Sparks, brings almost 60 years of combined homebuilding experience to the market.

Tucker, CEO of Valera Homes, and Sparks, the President, have each spent around 30 years in the homebuilding industry. Together, they aim to create a new path to homeownership that caters to the evolving needs of today's homebuyers. Valera Homes has launched with four communities: Alicante, Piccolina, Acres Legacy, and Enclave at Cypresswood. These communities are strategically located in growing Houston-area markets, offering new construction homes that range from the $270,000s to the $350,000s.

Alicante and Piccolina are the first communities to see construction begin, with model homes set to open in October 2026. The company plans to expand its community footprint as it identifies additional opportunities throughout the region. Valera Homes is focused on modern architecture, functional floor plans, and a simplified approach to the new-home buying experience. The brand is also introducing a curated approach to interior personalization, providing buyers with coordinated choices without overwhelming them with individual selections.

Valera Homes is designed primarily for first-time and value-conscious buyers who are looking for the benefits of new construction without sacrificing contemporary design or functionality. The company's approach is to offer homes that feel current and manageable, addressing the needs of today's homebuyers.

The launch communities, Alicante, Piccolina, Acres Legacy, and Enclave at Cypresswood, represent the beginning of Valera's strategy to develop new homes in locations where buyers can access employment centers, schools, shopping, dining, and major transportation corridors while pursuing new construction at an attainable price point.

Valera Homes expects to continue expanding its community portfolio throughout Greater Houston, with additional developments planned as the company grows. The company is focused on making new-home ownership more accessible through modern design, functional floor plans, and attainable pricing, creating homes and communities for today's value-conscious buyers.
