These are exciting times for Houston. The fourth largest city in the country and growing, Houston has a broad business base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics and transportation. Only New York City can claim more large public companies. The city is home to the world’s largest concentration of health care and research institutions, ranks third in the U.S. for scheduled non-stop, domestic and international air service, and is the site of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where Mission Control is located. From the start of new construction, Buffalo Heights adds innovative, mixed-use development, in the heart of Houston.

THE HEARTBEAT OF HOUSTON BEGINS WITH THE BAYOU.
Long before the shining rise of Houston and Texas, natural springs and tributaries flowed through Buffalo Bayou on the way to the Gulf. The 53-mile, meandering waterway gave 19th-century settlers direction—a water focus, and a link to the original commercial docks of Houston. Today, the bayou buzzes with new Houston energy. Waterside trails provide a natural getaway, recreation space, and outdoor venue for art and music—right in the heart of the nation’s fourth-largest city. The prized recreational and natural spaces of Buffalo Bayou Park and Memorial Park get better and greener every season.
