About Imperial
Imperial is one of Sugar Land's most unique and culturally rich developments, built around the historic Imperial Sugar Company refinery that once defined the city's identity. This mixed-use community blends historic preservation with modern luxury, creating a walkable, urban-suburban lifestyle that stands apart from traditional master-planned communities in Fort Bend County.
Homes in Imperial range from approximately $550,000 to over $1.7 million, including luxury townhomes, patio homes, and custom single-family residences.

Square footage typically ranges from 2,000 to 4,500 square feet, with premium units offering rooftop terraces and views of the historic refinery grounds.
Imperial's walkable lifestyle is its greatest draw. Residents can stroll to the Sugar Land Heritage Museum, attend concerts and events at the nearby Smart Financial Centre, catch a Sugar Land Space Cowboys baseball game at Constellation Field, and browse the weekly farmers market — all without getting in a car. The development includes community parks, trails along Oyster Creek, and planned retail and dining spaces that create a true live-work-play environment.

Several highly rated private schools are also nearby.
