General Growth Properties has purchased an additional 1,234 acres that are strategically located for Bridgeland, a young master-planned community near Cypress, Texas. The acquisition brings Bridgeland’s total acreage to 11,401, making it one of the largest master-planned communities in the Houston area.
More importantly for the developer, it gives the Bridgeland community access to the future Grand Parkway (Texas 99), since the purchased land includes more than a mile of parkway frontage, said Peter Houghton, vice president of sales for Bridgeland.

From fishing to disc golf to kayaking, Bridgeland community residents have plenty of outdoor amenities to keep them active.
Earlier this year, more than 238,000 specially selected fish were introduced to populate neighborhood lakes and offer Bridgeland residents the opportunity to “reel in the big one” on a catch-and-release basis.
“We love having a stocked lake so close,” said Gary Nelson, one of Bridgeland’s first residents. “My daughter caught her first fish on her first cast in our very own neighborhood. It was pretty exciting.”

The northwest community of Bridgeland boasts an amenity-rich master plan, with the development’s natural landscape a focal point as residents look forward to exploring 60 miles of trails and 225 acres of parks.
A highlight of the planned trail system will be the six-mile Cypress Creek Trail, set along the historic Cypress Creek corridor, a 1,000-acre nature area and creek system bordering Bridgeland’s northern boundary. The first 1.5 miles of Cypress Creek Trail will open by year’s end. Along the trail, there will be wildlife observation areas amid the trees and on Cypress Lake, as well as “points of interest” approximately every 600 yards with benches and educational signage pertaining to the history of the area and indigenous plants and animals.
