Overview
- Commissioners unanimously approved an MOU with the Texans and Howard Hughes to pursue an 83-acre mixed-use development in Bridgeland that includes a new team headquarters and training facility.
- Judge Lina Hidalgo said the county’s obligation totals roughly $150 million for infrastructure and public buildings, with funding drawn in part from a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone.
- The Texans’ operations are planned for 22 acres featuring a roughly 175,000-square-foot headquarters, a 150,000-square-foot indoor fieldhouse, and indoor and outdoor practice fields.
- The remaining acreage is envisioned for retail, restaurants, hotels, entertainment, commercial and medical space, plus community assets such as a county services center, four parks and school use of the fieldhouse.
- Partners aim to break ground later in 2026 and open in 2029, while the overall cost and funding split remain undisclosed; the team’s NRG Stadium lease for home games runs through 2032, and backers project $34 billion in impact and more than 17,000 jobs.
