Current Development Strategy — Updated September 2026

Where the Platform Stands Today

MG & Sons Holdings is the parent real estate investment and development platform behind the group’s Central Texas work. MPG Workforce Communities focuses on development and long-term ownership. Masons Premier Group supports construction execution, cost control, construction management, and project delivery.

Founder & CEO Carl Mason brings more than $350M in total project experience across approximately 200 projects. Of that total, more than $250M is specifically commercial construction, K-12 capital bond programs, and public-sector work delivered across Texas and the East Coast. Carl Mason is a 2026 Austin Business Journal Best CEO Awards nominee.

Our work in Taylor has grown beyond the single project first reported earlier this year. We are now advancing two separate workforce housing opportunities in the area.

Taylor Site 1

A standalone multifamily workforce housing opportunity in Taylor, Texas, currently planned around approximately 300 units.

Taylor Site 2

A separate Taylor-area site being planned as a mixed-housing community with multifamily, townhomes, and detached cottages. The final program is still being refined through underwriting, site planning, and City coordination.

Both concepts are being planned with lower-rise buildings, green space, and appropriate separation from nearby homes.

Initial reporting in mid-2026 reflected an earlier 275-unit Taylor concept on roughly 33 acres, including a pool amenity. Since then, underwriting, site planning, and City coordination have advanced, and the Taylor effort has grown into two separate development opportunities.

We are currently working with City staff on planning, infrastructure, utilities, annexation, and the next steps for each site.

The Thesis

Housing Must Be Planned Alongside Growth

Central Texas continues to grow around major employment centers, infrastructure investment, school district expansion, healthcare demand, public services, and municipal workforce needs. As that growth accelerates, housing for the essential workforce becomes a critical part of the infrastructure conversation.

MG & Sons Holdings views workforce housing as infrastructure. Teachers, first responders, healthcare workers, municipal employees, skilled trades, service workers, and working families need attainable housing options near the communities they serve.

The Platform

Development, Construction, and Ownership Under One Platform

MG & Sons Holdings serves as the parent platform for MPG Workforce Communities and Masons Premier Group.

MPG Workforce Communities focuses on workforce housing development, site control, municipal alignment, capital coordination, and long-term ownership.

Masons Premier Group supports construction execution, cost control, construction management, and project delivery.

Central Texas

Focused on High-Growth Texas Corridors

MG & Sons Holdings is focused on fast-growing Texas markets where jobs, infrastructure, and housing demand are all moving at the same time.

We look for communities where major employers are growing, public infrastructure is expanding, and working households are being pushed farther away from the places they serve.

Who It Serves

Attainable Housing for Essential Workforce Households

Workforce housing supports the people who keep growing communities functioning. MG & Sons Holdings and MPG Workforce Communities are focused on attainable housing for essential workforce households, including:

Teachers
First responders
Healthcare workers
Municipal employees
Skilled trades
Service workers
Working families
Execution

Operator-Led Delivery for Workforce Housing

Delivering workforce housing takes more than finding land. It means getting the site right, working through the City process, controlling construction costs, and planning for long-term ownership from the beginning.

MG & Sons Holdings brings development, construction, and ownership together under one platform so the same team stays involved from the early planning stages through delivery and long-term operations.
