LEED Pre-Certified Master-Plan Among Nation’s Top 10 Best-Selling MPCs of 2024
Bridgeland®, an award-winning communities in the Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) portfolio, has been ranked among the nation’s top 10 best-selling master planned communities (MPCs) for 2024, according to the year-end report released by national real estate consultant RCLCO. Bridgeland, located in the Greater Houston area, ranked #7 nationally with 938 home sales, making it one of the top-selling communities in Texas.
“In 2024, Howard Hughes communities achieved strong new home sales in our MPCs, accompanied by what we expect will be all-time-high residential land sales in terms of price-per-acre and acres sold,” said David R. O’Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of Howard Hughes.
The Houston MSA was once again the top-performing metropolitan area in the nation, representing 22% of all sales among top-ranked MPCs, according to RCLCO’s recent report.
Bridgeland, a LEED Pre-Certified community, sold 938 homes during 2024 to earn the distinction of being the #2 top-selling master planned community in Texas and #7 nationwide, according to RCLCO’s recent report.
The year was also marked by significant commercial milestones as the 11,500-acre master planned community began work on the initial phase of Bridgeland Central®. The 925-acre urban district is projected to include modern retail, hotels, entertainment, and premier office space to Northwest Houston, establishing Bridgeland as the region’s leading job center.
According to GlobeNewswire, Village Green at Bridgeland Central®, the initial phase of Bridgeland’s urban core, broke ground in February 2024 and will deliver 28,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and commercial space beginning this spring. The 70-acre mixed-use development also celebrated the grand opening of Texas’ top-ranked grocery store, H-E-B, in October 2024. The 128,000-square-foot store includes the area’s first True Texas BBQ, complete with a drive-thru for residents and visitors.
One Bridgeland Green®, Bridgeland Central’s first commercial office development, made history after breaking ground in May 2024, becoming Greater Houston’s first mass timber office. The Class A building, which is 80% pre-leased, is expected to welcome tenants—CrossCover Insurance, Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, the Bridgeland Welcome Center, and Howard Hughes’ Bridgeland team—this summer.
“As Bridgeland celebrates another year of successful home sales, we remain affirmed in our approach to developing sustainable master planned communities that balance residential and commercial growth with the preservation of the natural environment,” said Jim Carman, President of the Houston Region at Howard Hughes. “Bridgeland will continue to serve and attract residents seeking a community that will meet every need at every phase of life.”
