Sienna Plantation Again Ranks as One of the Nation’s Top-Selling Communities
Sienna Plantation continues as one of the nation’s top-selling communities, listed for the third time in the Top 10 Performing Master-Planned Communities in the United States, according to RCLCO, a leading independent real estate advisory firm.

A project of The Johnson Development Corp., Sienna Plantation has had a significant impact on the local Fort Bend economy, creating more than $1.7 billion in taxable value. In addition to thousands of residences, the 7,000-acre community also is, to date, home to several hundred thousand square feet of retail, five public schools, a Houston Community College campus, a public library, three day care facilities, two churches and the 18-hole Sienna Plantation Golf Club.

Sienna’s Top Realtors® Tag Community’s Location as Buyer Favorite
Location, location, location — that is what helped several Fort Bend area Realtors® sell millions of dollars’ worth of homes in Sienna Plantation last year.

And because of their sales, Team Riddle with Re/Max Fine Properties, JoJo Tharayil with Excel Realty and John Varghese with Alpha Realty are again ranked as Sienna’s three top-selling Realtors®, respectively.

Tharayil has been in real estate since 2003 and works primarily in Missouri City, Sugar Land, Stafford and Katy. A Realtor® since 2004, Varghese concentrates primarily in Fort Bend. Both Tharayil and Varghese were also top-producing Realtors® for Sienna in 2008. Varghese also is a top-selling Realtor® in Riverstone, which, like Sienna, is a project of the Johnson Development Corp.
