Howard Hughes breaks ground on first medical office in Bridgeland for Memorial Hermann
Howard Hughes has broken ground on the first build-to-suit medical office building in its Bridgeland® community for Memorial Hermann Health System. The nearly 51,000-square-foot facility will serve as a catalyst for future planned medical facilities within Bridgeland’s master plan, bringing high-quality,
accessible care to more than 25,000 current residents. At full buildout, Bridgeland is projected to be home to approximately 70,000 residents.
“This groundbreaking marks an important milestone in Bridgeland’s continued growth,” said Jim Carman,
President of the Houston Region for Howard Hughes. “The introduction of Memorial Hermann’s nationally recognized healthcare services at Bridgeland underscores our commitment to creating a fully integrated community—where quality medical care complements exceptional schools, workplaces, retail, and open space. As in our community of The Woodlands, our long-term vision for Bridgeland is focused on enhancing the quality of life for current and future residents.”
Memorial Hermann’s inaugural medical office in Bridgeland, set to open at the southwest corner of Tuckerton Road and Fry Road in summer 2026, will showcase state-of-the-art facilities designed to meet modern healthcare demands. The office will offer versatile spaces tailored to accommodate a wide range of on-site services, including emergency services, primary care, pediatrics, and sports medicine. Tellepsen Builders and Powers Brown Architecture are serving as the general contractor and architect for the project, respectively.
“This new medical facility further demonstrates Memorial Hermann’s commitment to meet the growing healthcare needs of the communities we serve,” said Kyle Price, Senior Vice President, Service Lines at Memorial Hermann Health System. “We are excited to expand our services to Bridgeland, providing high-quality, convenient healthcare that benefits the entire family, close to home.”
This asset builds on a series of commercial successes in Bridgeland, including Village Green at Bridgeland Central®, which introduced the community’s first H-E-B grocery store, 28,000 square feet of mixed-use space, and Greater Houston’s first mass timber office development, One Bridgeland Green®, which is scheduled to open this fall. The nearly 50,000-square-foot, Class A office building reached 80% leased shortly after breaking ground, another indicator of the community’s growing commercial momentum.
