HOUSTON, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The community of Bridgeland has been named “Master Planned Community of the Year” by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), receiving top honors at The Nationals 2024 awards gala last week in Las Vegas. Bridgeland, an 11,500-acre master planned community in the Greater Houston region developed by Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH), was celebrated for its exceptional quality of life and natural setting only 30 miles northwest of Downtown Houston that have made it one of the top-selling communities in the nation.

The annual NAHB awards honor North America’s leading developers, home builders, and communities that excel in fields within the real estate industry including superior design and sales achievements. Established in 1982, The Nationals is the largest awards program for new home sales and community honors in the country.

“We are honored for Bridgeland to be recognized as Master Planned Community of the Year by national industry leaders at NAHB,” said Jim Carman, President of the Houston Region for Howard Hughes. “This recognition speaks to the exceptional quality of life, abundant amenities, and variety of housing options that Bridgeland offers as it continues to emerge as both a dynamic residential and commercial hub for all of Northwest Houston.”

These accolades follow a year of immense success for Bridgeland including a record-breaking 985 new home sales in 2023, which ranked Bridgeland as the #2 top-selling master planned community in Texas and #5 in the country according to the recent annual report from national real estate consultant RCLCO.

Bridgeland is currently home to approximately 22,000 residents and is projected to reach nearly 70,000 residents at full buildout as homebuyers flocking to Texas continue to choose Bridgeland for the unique nature of the community. Offering 3,000 acres of open space, parks, lakes, and trails thoughtfully integrated into its master plan, Bridgeland remains dedicated to long-term sustainable growth and was also honored by NAHB with the Gold Award for Best Landscape of a Community.
