The Plant in Second Ward represents the first real estate redevelopment of its kind in Houston to embrace walkable urbanism by connecting the light rails to the bayou trails in one of the most car-dependent cities in the world. Spanning 17 connected acres and 21 underutilized buildings, The Plant in Second Ward aims to create a “15-minute neighborhood,” where residents live walking distance from their daily needs, serving as a magnet for the next generation of urban dwellers who can work, live and recreate in one micro-hood.

Concept Neighborhood’s vision includes 250,000 square feet of authentic retail and creative maker space, and more than 1,000 multifamily units for market-rate, workforce housing. Additionally, Concept Neighborhood aims to use retail as a form of placemaking by repurposing most of the industrial warehouses it has acquired into hyperlocal retail spaces that reflect the rich culture and diversity of the Second Ward.
