Kelli Kickerillo-The Inspiration for Katy’s Kelliwood

All Kelliwood  subdivisions are named to celebrate Kelli, (see photo), the daughter of award-winning builder and developer Vincent Kickerillo. Kickerillo is the developer of all the Kelliwood sections and the primary builder. In some areas, he is the only builder.

One of the reasons that the high-end custom sections of Cinco Ranch are so outstanding is that there is a good mix of custom builders in each section. Each custom builder was only allowed “to take” down so many lots. This guaranteed an eclectic and visually appealing mix with a Read the rest of this entry »
