Houston’s Bridgeland Central Announces First-Phase Projects

The Howard Hughes Corporation has gone public with its plans for the first phase of commercial development for Bridgeland Central, a 925-acre mixed-use town center, northwest of Houston.

Village Green at Bridgeland Central will be a 23-acre project featuring a 100,000-square-foot H-E-B and a 49,000-square-foot mass timber office building. Both elements of the development are slated to open in 2024 near the Grand Parkway. Other plans for Village Green include restaurants, retailers and service providers.

At build-out, Bridgeland Central will offer office, retail, multifamily housing, dining, hospitality, entertainment and public spaces. The mass timber office building will also be a first for the Greater Houston region. Materials such as mass timber and low-carbon concrete reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 20%. Additionally, the project should reduce annual energy usage by 25%.

The H-E-B, which will be at the intersection of Bridgeland Creek Parkway and Summit Point Crossing is the grocer’s first location in the Bridgeland master-planned community.
