The Houston Texans are relocating their practice facility and team headquarters from their longtime location across the street from NRG Stadium to the Bridgeland community in Cypress, Texas. The new 22-acre mixed-use development will include a cutting-edge global headquarters and training center, as well as retail, dining, hotel, commercial, entertainment, and medical office spaces across 61 acres within Bridgeland Central.

Why it matters

As one of the few NFL teams currently lacking a separate practice facility, Houston's new headquarters will address a longstanding need. This relocation also taps into the predicted growth of northwest Harris County, an area expected to see significant development over the next thirty years. The facility's construction not only supports the Texans' ambitions but also stimulates economic vitality and employment in Cypress and surrounding communities.

The details

The Bridgeland project is expected to generate a substantial economic impact of approximately $34 billion, translating into more than 17,000 jobs in the immediate area. The broader Toro District will create 60,000 jobs in the next decade, with 17,000 positions specifically tied to this project. The agreement also covers improvements in infrastructure and expanded access to county services, while encouraging youth development and broader economic growth.
