Coventry Development Corporation announced the development of Springwoods Village, a new, nature-inspired residential and commercial community for North Houston. Construction of Springwoods Village is targeted to begin in the second quarter pf 2011. Over the next several years, 4,500 – 5,000 homes are expected to be built in addition to 8.5 million square feet of commercial office space and 1.2 million square feet of retail space.
Description
• The planned development boasts a mix of urban and suburban living, a shopping and dining village, corporate employment, health and fitness, life-long learning and community activities in a walkable, comfortable and natural mixed-use setting.
• The community will serve a population of 40,000-45,000 workers and residents.
• Springwoods Village will encompass 1,800 acres and the mixed-use community will unfold carefully and methodically to balance nature, urbanism and diversity. The existing forest and Spring Creek ecosystems will be protected and preserved by utilizing best practices in sustainable design and infrastructure. Springwoods Village will be user friendly, earth friendly, connected and current.
Location
Springwoods Village will be located approximately 30 miles north of downtown Houston just south of The Woodlands and located at the intersection of I-45 and The Hardy Toll Road in north Harris County. The 1,800 acre site will be connected to the Spring Creek Greenway and is less than 10 miles from Bush International Airport. The Grand Parkway and a new Springwoods Village interchange are planned on the southern edge of the property to provide access to communities and destinations either west or east of the site.
