Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) and HFI Capital Management, LLC (HFI) today celebrated a major milestone at Rainwater Crossing in Celina, Texas, with the official opening of Whispering Grove, the community’s two-acre signature entrance park featuring thoughtfully designed landscaping, gathering spaces, walking paths, and a large reflection pond.

Official ribbon cutting of Scout’s Tree at Rainwater Crossing in Celina, Texas
Anchoring the park is Scout’s Tree, a 35-foot-tall landmark sculpture created by renowned Dallas artists Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin. Inspired by the property’s history as a tree farm, Scout’s Tree serves as both the centerpiece of Whispering Grove and a distinctive gateway to the community, creating a memorable first impression for residents and visitors.
“Christy and I believe the best public art does more than mark a place because it becomes part of its story,” said artist Brad Oldham. “With Scout’s Tree, the weathered steel trunk honors the past, while the mirror-polished branches reflect the energy and promise of Rainwater Crossing’s future. People can walk through the trunk, discover Scout, the purple martin within the branches, or experience the sculpture in passing. And the single golden branch offers one more discovery: a tribute to Richard Rainwater and his ability to see opportunity where others did not.”
Crafted from stainless steel and Cor-Ten steel, Scout’s Tree is enhanced by thoughtfully integrated LED lighting that transforms the sculpture after sunset into an immersive artistic experience. The illuminated installation creates a dramatic nighttime presence at the entrance to Rainwater Crossing and offers visitors a distinctly different experience after dark.
“Rainwater Crossing was envisioned as a community that reflects the character of Celina and creates opportunities for neighbors to come together,” said Jed Dolson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Green Brick Partners. “The opening of Whispering Grove marks an important milestone in bringing that vision to life. As families choose Rainwater Crossing as a place to call home, this community gathering space will serve as a welcoming setting for neighbors to connect, create memories and enjoy one of the many things that makes this community unique.”
Rainwater Crossing will host a public grand opening celebration at the entrance park on September 26th featuring Movie Night Under the Stars. The event will provide Celina families, prospective homebuyers and future residents an opportunity to experience the park and community firsthand. Event details are available at rainwatercrossingtx.com.
Rainwater Crossing is a master-planned community being developed through a joint venture between Green Brick Partners and HFI Capital Management. Guided by the philosophy, “Life Flows Here,” the community is planned to include approximately 1,800 homes, parks, trails, gathering spaces and future amenities designed to enhance everyday life. The community’s Phase One amenity center, referred to as “The Perch,” is anticipated to open in spring 2027 and will feature a resort-style pool, splashpad, pickleball courts, a playground, hammock park, and clubhouse. New homes are currently available from Normandy Homes and Centre Living Homes.
