BENEFIT HOMES PROJECT—"A Home for Good"
Bridgeland Committed to GHBA Charity
enhancing the lives of homebuyers with their growing list of amenities, they are also committed to enhancing the lives of the less fortunate through contributions to the association’s annual fundraiser, the Benefit Homes Project. Howard Hughes Corporation, the developer of Bridgeland, has donated five homesites to this construction project over the past few years to help raise funds for three local charities. Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston are all direct beneficiaries of the 35 year old project.

ridgeland, a GHBA ‘Master Planned Development of the Year’ award winner, is not only committed to
plan on a homesite in Bridgeland’s Beech Creek section of Hidden Creek.
Each year two to three homes are built for the project with donated land, materials, labor and services. These luxurious homes are sold at market value and the majority of the proceeds benefit the three local charities. This fundraiser has raised more than $9 million.
Bridgeland, an 11,400 acre commu- nity managed by The Woodlands Development Company, was launched in 2006. The community devotes 3,000 acres to open space and includes a strong retail component — including a 900-acre town center along the Grand Parkway — in its master plan. Listed No. 4 on the Houston tally of master planned communities, Bridgeland is also ranked among the nation’s 20 top-selling communities. This master planned community is located in Cypress, Texas, between U.S. 290 and
Interstate 10 on Fry Road and bisected by a segment of the Grand Parkway.
“Hidden Creek exemplifies the caliber of Bridgeland,” said Peter Houghton, vice president of master planned communi- ties. “As northwest Houston experiences significant growth and housing demand increases, our newest section offers buy- ers a range of options and upscale ame- nities that cannot be found elsewhere.”
Hidden Creek will introduce an extensive list of amenities, including Lakeland Village Park, a 20-acre green space that will feature an enclosed dog park, a basketball court, canoe launch and a skate park. Additional tennis courts, picnic areas, walking trails and pavilions are also planned, as well as a splash pad, play- ground, a year-round heated lap pool and Josey Lake, an expansive waterway that runs along the perimeter of Hidden Creek.
