Key Takeaways

Mixed-Use Vision in Bridgeland

According to Bisnow, the Houston Texans have partnered with Howard Hughes Communities and Harris County to develop a new headquarters and practice facility in Bridgeland. The master-planned community sits just northwest of Houston and continues to attract large-scale investment.

The project, known as Toro District, will span 83 acres within Bridgeland Central. It will combine retail, hotel, entertainment, and commercial space alongside the team’s 22-acre headquarters and training complex.

Economic Growth and Job Creation

Mixed-use development is expected to drive significant regional growth. Toro District is projected to deliver $34B in long-term economic impact and bring over 17,000 new jobs to the Houston area. The effort places a major entertainment focus within Bridgeland Central, the area’s emerging core.

A Strategic Relocation

The Texans’ headquarters and training operations will move from their current Houston Methodist Training Center near NRG Stadium to Toro District, with construction starting later this year and completion targeted for 2029. The move signals an investment in modern facilities and amenities amid a growing residential and commercial landscape.

Commitment to Community Development

Howard Hughes Communities manages 118,000 acres and more than 10M SF of office and retail space. The company continues to integrate destination developments across its master-planned communities. The developer has also been at the center of high-profile capital market activity in recent months, including a multibillion-dollar transaction that would take the company private following a planned spinoff of its Seaport assets. It prioritizes projects that blend residential, commercial, and entertainment uses.

At Toro District, the team will deliver a dynamic mixed-use environment. The development will expand local services and strengthen surrounding infrastructure. It will also create a long-term gathering place for residents and visitors alike.
