THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Summerlin® and Bridgeland®, two of the award-winning communities in the Howard Hughes Holdings (NYSE: HHH) portfolio, have been ranked among the country’s top-selling master planned communities (MPCs), according to the mid-year 2025 report released by national real estate consultant RCLCO. The Summerlin community in Las Vegas ranked #7 on the RCLCO list with 515 new homes sold during the first half of 2025, and Bridgeland, in the Greater Houston area, ranked #14 nationwide with 438 new homes sold by mid-year.
“The impressive mid-year RCLCO rankings for Summerlin and Bridgeland underscore our commitment to building high-quality communities that stand out as premier destinations for residents and businesses across the country,” said David O’Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of Howard Hughes. “Howard Hughes communities have sustained strong home sales across our national portfolio, and we continue to build on our strong sales momentum as the year continues.”
SUMMERLIN
Now in its 35th year, Summerlin continues to be one of the most in-demand and best-selling communities in the country. Spanning 22,500 acres, Summerlin is ideally situated within the Las Vegas Valley—adjacent to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and 12 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. It offers a unique balance between the natural environment and a modern, amenity-rich living experience.
According to Jose Bustamante, President of the Nevada Region for Howard Hughes, Summerlin’s long-term success is due, in large part, to its thoughtful master plan and design guidelines that have stood the test of time—and continue to foster the residential, commercial, and cultural growth that underpin the community’s high-quality lifestyle.
Summerlin’s schools, shopping centers, cultural centers, and office buildings—along with the many parks, trails, golf courses, outdoor play areas, and the extensive amenities are the cornerstone of what makes Summerlin such a highly sought-after community. The vibrant environment of Downtown Summerlin®, the community’s 400-acre, mixed-use walkable urban core, continues to thrive as a regional destination. Home to over 125 retail brands and restaurants, Downtown Summerlin features best-in-class brands including Whole Foods Market, Pop Mart, CHANEL Fragrance & Beauty, and LEGO, as well as major sports venues, Class A office buildings, and a growing number of living opportunities at luxury apartment communities.
“Thanks to our roster of the nation’s premier homebuilders, homes in Summerlin are available in a range of modern styles and elevations to meet the ever-changing needs and preferences of families and consumers—from single-family homes of all sizes to townhomes and condominiums offering a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle,” said Bustamante. “Today, we have more than 100 actively selling floorplans in 20 neighborhoods located throughout the community—offering homeowners a broad range of home options, all with a highly desirable Summerlin address. As we continue to build out the community, we are confident that Summerlin will remain on its remarkable trajectory and further grow its reputation as the best place to live in Las Vegas.”
BRIDGELAND
Bridgeland, located just 30 miles from downtown Houston, continues to transform the greater Northwest Houston region, offering more than 3,000 acres of dedicated open space, 500 acres of lakes and waterways, top-rated schools, expanding job opportunities, and high-quality retail and office space. Bridgeland is currently home to over 26,000 residents; at full buildout, the community is projected to include approximately 23,000 homes for over 70,000 residents.
Bridgeland Central®, the 925-acre urban district in the heart of Bridgeland, exemplifies the tremendous progress that the community is making in 2025. Village Green at Bridgeland Central introduces 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 expected to open this fall. The nearly 50,000-square-foot, Class A office building reached 80% leased shortly after breaking ground, a strong indicator of the community’s growing commercial momentum.
“Our vision as the master plan developer of each Howard Hughes community—including Bridgeland, The Woodlands, and The Woodlands Hills in the Houston region—remains laser focused on creating today’s most sought-after places to live,” said Jim Carman, President of the Houston Region for Howard Hughes. “Bridgeland is on an exciting trajectory of growth and will continue to serve and attract residents seeking a community that meets their evolving needs at every phase of life, for generations to come.”
