Who is developing Reed’s Crossing?
Newland is developing Reed’s Crossing. With 50 years of experience, Newland is currently developing more than 27 active communities in 12 states across the country. Newland is proud to be a part of Brookfield Properties. We are one of the largest developers of mixed-use communities in the United States. With our partner, North America Sekisui House, LLC, we believe it is our responsibility to create enduring, healthier communities for people to live life in ways that matter most to them. From office to retail, logistics to multifamily, and hospitality to development, Brookfield works across sectors to bring high-quality, sustainable real estate to life around the globe every day.
How is Newland different from other developers?
Newland begins planning their communities by answering two questions; who will live there and how will they live? Newland creates mixed-use communities for people who care as much as we do about the connection of work, live, shop and play. We envision our communities from the ground up and bring our values of integrity, vision, commitment, and caring to our many partners and neighbors. The way people live in (and out!) of their homes is changing and we keep our designs at the forefront of what that looks like, which is what truly sets Newland communities apart from others.
Does Newland build the homes as well?
Newland develops the overall plan for the community, the infrastructure and the green spaces, then sells lots to builders who then own the lot until they build a home on it and sell it to a new resident. Newland also sets the design guidelines builders must follow regarding varied elevations, structural aesthetics, and colors to ensure that our community is as beautiful and diverse as the people and pets that call Reed’s Crossing “home”. See a current list of homebuilders here.

Virtual tours offer home buyers a remote, video-enabled walk-through of a property giving the sensation of actually being there—or at least pretty, darn close.

Why is the Community called Reed’s Crossing?
Simeon and Amanda Reed were early Oregon settlers. Simeon was heavily involved in the Oregon Steam Navigation Company (later the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company).
In the 1860s, Simeon and Amanda settled 5,000 acres in an area called Reedville, which covered parts of what is now Aloha and Hillsboro. In later years, Simeon and Amanda operated a hobby farm, raising livestock and holding harness races.
The “Crossing” of the community’s name is a nod to Simeon’s railroad and shipping business interests, as well as the Portland & Western Railroad that runs along the northern edge of the community.
What is the difference between Hillsboro and South Hillsboro?
The City of Hillsboro annexed 1,400 acres of open spaces, farmland, and developed properties, and petitioned to have those acres brought into the Portland Metro Urban Growth Boundary. In order to create a distinct community within Hillsboro, the City decided to name the area “South Hillsboro.”
