The Houston Texans unveiled plans on Wednesday for Toro District, an 83-acre mixed-use development in the Bridgeland community of Cypress, Texas, that will function as their new headquarters and training complex. Located near the Grand Parkway at 10900 Peek Road, the facility is scheduled to open in 2029 and aims to support the team’s growth while fostering community engagement and economic development in Harris County.
Details of the Toro District Development and Its Features
Approximately 22 acres within the Toro District will be dedicated specifically to the Texans’ global headquarters and state-of-the-art training complex. The remaining 61 acres will be developed into Bridgeland Central, a 925-acre urban core envisioned by Howard Hughes Communities, featuring retail spaces, restaurants, hotels, commercial offices, entertainment venues, and medical offices. This mixed-use plan reflects a significant commitment to creating a vibrant, integrated environment that complements the team’s operations.
Officials Highlight Long-Term Commitment and Community Benefits
Cal McNair, Chair and CEO of the Houston Texans, emphasized that this project represents a lasting investment in Harris County. Alongside McNair, other key figures such as Mike Tomon, Houston Texans President; David O’Reilly, CEO of Howard Hughes Communities; and Harris County Commissioners Lesley Briones (Precinct 4) and Tom Ramsey (Precinct 3) attended the announcement. The county commissioners unanimously approved the plans, with Harris County pledging $150 million toward necessary infrastructure, while the Texans finance the facility itself.
We wanted something world-class to match where we are headed,
said Hannah McNair, Vice President of the Houston Texans Foundation.
This will be an industry tone setter for global sports and entertainment.
We couldn’t be more excited to bring a world-class project to bear that will be authentically Texans and authentically Houston,
expressed Mike Tomon.
Tomon detailed the team’s core principles, including winning championships, providing fans with exceptional experiences, and inspiring the Houston community. He also praised Howard Hughes Communities as an essential partner in realizing this vision.
Economic Impact and Job Creation Expected from the Development
The Toro District’s mixed-use design is projected to generate an economic impact of $34 billion throughout the Houston region, creating over 17,000 jobs. Commissioner Lesley Briones emphasized the significance of the location, stating the northwest region of Harris County is expected to experience substantial growth over the coming decades. The project is anticipated to prioritize local employment, supporting more than 60,000 new jobs across the county within the next ten years, with 17,000 of those jobs tied directly to the Toro District development.
There will be a prioritization for local jobs. This (relocation), specifically, 60,000 jobs will be created in the next decade, and 17,000 jobs specifically to this Toro District,
Briones said.
This agreement covers everything from infrastructure improvements, more access to Harris County services, youth development, and economic growth – it truly is a great day for Harris County,
added Commissioner Tom Ramsey.
Significance of the New Facility for the Texans and the Region
This project marks a turning point for the Houston Texans, who are among the few NFL teams without a dedicated practice facility. By establishing a modern, centralized complex, the organization aims to enhance team operations and outreach, fostering championship ambitions and community involvement.
Our organization continues to grow, and this aligns with our goals of bringing a championship to Houston, enhancing community services and making sports more accessible,
stated Hannah McNair.
This project reinforces our long-term commitment to Harris County and our focus on driving growth and opportunity for the community.
The collaboration between the Texans, Harris County, and Howard Hughes Communities ensures that the Toro District will evolve into a dynamic hub that strengthens Houston’s position as a leading sports and entertainment destination. The facility and surrounding development are expected to catalyze regional growth, support local employment, and boost economic vitality well into the future.
