These new amenities, which also include a Methodist church and an Eckerd's drug store, add to a long list of community services now open in New Territory. Strong sales of new homes priced from the $90,000's to $900,000's have attracted major retailers and others to New Territory, where 500 new homes were sold last year. New Territory has approximately 9,500 residents, and a projected population of 17,500 residents upon completion. "Providing schools, churches and a wide variety of retail conveniences for New Territory residents has always been a part of the community's master plan," David Jordan, president of Markborough Development. "It's exciting to see New Territory grow and mature to the point where leading national retailers are now very interested in locating in the community." For children, New Territory's second FBISD elementary school is under construction on a 13-acre site along Cunningham Creek Boulevard. Scheduled to open in August, this state-of-the-art school will be within walking distance of some of New Territory's neighborhoods, including Chapel Bend, Laurel Crest and Crescent Ridge. Cambridge Honors Academy, a private Montessori school, is open at U.S. Highway 90-A and Ellis Creek Blvd., adjacent to the New Territory Country Store in a shopping center which is 100-percent leased to tenants such as The Family Physicians at New Territory.

This national day-care operator now has a state-of-the-art facility under construction, with plans to open this summer.
