The Houston Texans<\/a> made it clear that eventually they’d build a version of “The Star”<\/a> from Frisco for their franchise in the Greater Houston area<\/a>.<\/p>\n On Thursday, that goal inched a step closer to becoming a reality.<\/p>\n The Texans announced the plan<\/a> to build a new headquarters and training facility on the 83-acre property<\/a> out in Bridgeland, located in Northwest Harris County. According to the release, the project includes a 22-acre, state-of-the-art global headquarters and training complex for the Texans and represents a bold new model for collaboration between professional sports, public leadership, and long-term community development.<\/p>\n Named “Toro District,” the property is projected to generate approximately $34 billion in long-term economic impact and create more than 17,000 jobs across the region. Howard Hughes, which developed Bridgeland\u00a0as well as The Woodlands, plans on building the property.<\/p>\n \u201cToday is a historic day for the Houston Texans<\/a>, our fans, and the Greater Houston area as we partner with Howard Hughes and Harris County on a world-class sports and entertainment destination, including our new headquarters and training facility,\u201d Chair and Chief Executive Officer Cal McNair said in a statement. \u201cOur organization continues to grow and this aligns with our goals of bringing a championship to Houston, enhancing community services and making sports more accessible. This project reinforces our long-term commitment to Harris County and our focus on driving growth and opportunity for the community. It will set the new standard for the global sports and entertainment industry and it\u2019s the most significant evolution for our organization since our inception.\u201d<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n According to the Houston Chronicle<\/a>, it’s unclear how much the project would cost, or who is responsible for paying what, but the county\u2019s contribution would be funded through a tax increment in Harris County. According to the release, the plan is to have the project finished by 2029<\/a>.<\/p>\n Toro District will include a dynamic mix of best-in-class retail, restaurant, hotel, entertainment, commercial, and medical space within Bridgeland Central, the community\u2019s emerging urban core. Designed as a year-round destination, the district will serve residents, visitors, and businesses while strengthening the region\u2019s infrastructure and civic footprint in one of the fastest-growing throughout the state.<\/p>\n \u201cHarris County has always been a strong economic driver and innovator in sustainable infrastructure,\u201d said Commissioner Tom Ramsey. \u201cFrom the Port of Houston, the energy sector, to the world-class medical center, it\u2019s only appropriate that we elevate this sports facility to be the best in America.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 12, 2026, 1:21 p.m. CT The Houston Texans made it clear that eventually they’d build a version…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751682,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2056],"tags":[95878,7,221,253,2368,6,96520,96521,95882,102973,103194,97397,95953,96738,95895,95906,107771,95883,222,1461,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-751681","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston-texans","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-houston","11":"tag-houston-texans","12":"tag-houstontexans","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-sstssportsnfltexans","15":"tag-sstsntexans","16":"tag-tagamerican-football","17":"tag-tagconstruction-maintenance","18":"tag-tagfrisco","19":"tag-taghouston","20":"tag-taghouston-texans","21":"tag-taglocal-news","22":"tag-tagnfl-hub","23":"tag-tagoverall-positive","24":"tag-tagproperty-development","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-texans","27":"tag-tx","28":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116069283105585684","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
