Taco Bell Coming Near Heritage Park West: New Restaurant Planned for Growing Katy Park Area
Residents of Heritage Park West may soon have another quick and convenient dining option just minutes from home.
Plans have been filed for the construction of a new Taco Bell at 3087 Katy Hockley Cut Off Road in northwest Katy, within Read-King's Katy Park development, an emerging mixed-use destination designed to serve one of the region's fastest-growing residential areas. The new restaurant represents another sign of continued commercial investment in the Katy area as thousands of new homes are planned nearby and retail growth keeps pace with population growth.
According to project filings, the privately funded development calls for the construction of a 2,115-square-foot Taco Bell restaurant, with work scheduled to begin August 31, 2026, and reach completion by December 15, 2026. The estimated construction cost is $1.5 million.
Another Addition to Katy's Rapidly Growing Retail Landscape
The new restaurant will be located within The Green at Katy Park, Read-King's planned retail and community destination at the northwest corner of Katy Hockley Cutoff Road and Morton Road. The development is envisioned as a gathering place that combines restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and community green space into a walkable environment designed for everyday visits.
According to Read-King's development materials, The Green at Katy Park is planned to include approximately 60,000 square feet of retail, food, and dining space, along with more than 20,000 square feet of landscaped community green space. The project is intended to create a central destination where neighbors can dine, shop, and spend time together close to home.
Its location also places it near several of the area's busiest destinations, including Katy Park, which attracts more than 700,000 visitors annually, nearby Katy ISD athletic facilities, a high-volume H-E-B store, and major transportation corridors including the Grand Parkway (SH 99) and Interstate 10. Development materials also project that more than 24,000 new homes are expected within the surrounding trade area by 2032, highlighting why additional restaurants and retailers continue to invest in this part of Katy.
For residents of Heritage Park West, the addition means another convenient option for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late-night meals without needing to travel farther into central Katy.
