purchased 77 acres in Bridgeland Central for a research and development campus. In addition to job opportunities, Bridgeland is expanding education options. Harmony Public Schools is opening a charter school in Creekland Village this fall, and Cypress Christian School is relocating to Prairieland Village in 2025. Local real estate experts said Bridgeland is known for its amenities, Cy-Fair ISD schools and nature focus. The 11,500-acre community has about 22,000 residents today and will be home to 70,000 at build-out. Bridgeland sold 985 homes in 2023—up from 567 in 2022, according to real estate consultant RCLCO. In RCLCO’s annual master-planned community rankings based on the number of homes sold, Bridgeland earned the No. 5 spot nationwide and No. 2 in Texas. “We expect to sell over 1,000 homes this year, … and it won’t end there,” Carman said.
Bridgeland’s developer Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. broke ground on the rst phase of its 925-acre town center in late February near the Grand Parkway. Village Green at Bridgeland Central, a 70-acre project, will feature a new H-E-B opening this year; 28,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space; and a 49,000-square-foot oce building—all within walking distance of multifamily housing and hike and bike trails. “Ultimately, Bridgeland Central will be restaurants, retail, oces, hospitality, entertainment, medical—just about every use that you would imagine would create a downtown urban hub for the community,” said Jim Carman, president of the Houston Region for Howard Hughes. Carman said Bridgeland will one day have 1.5 jobs per rooftop so residents can live and work in the community. Last August, Chevron
