Embrace walkable urbanism and redefine Houston’s historic Second Ward by becoming an inaugural tenant of this one-of-a-kind development.
The Plant / Second Ward spans 17 acres and directly links the Harrisburg light rail to the Buffalo Bayou Park and East End hiking and biking trails to optimize walkable access. The mixed-use campus will feature breathtaking converted historic buildings, playful green spaces, award-winning restaurants like Street to Kitchen, and anchors like Crux. The Plant will encompass over 250,000 square feet of retail and creative office space with over 1,000 multifamily units, providing a built-in base of residents to foster an ever-moving atmosphere. The Plant invites tenants to join a singular mix of artisan makers, local and national retailers, eclectic restaurants, and more, with spaces from 500 to 15,500 square feet available.
This project is a mile from Downtown Houston and part of the Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s $310 million East Sector Plan to transform and connect the area like never before. Development for this initiative is ramping up as The Plant/Second Ward is opposite the Buffalo Bayou from another key component of the plan, East River, a 150-acre project anchored by a golf course and Riverhouse Houston. These projects come as migration to these near-downtown areas has rocketed, bringing affluent, young professionals to the East Sector. The Plant will use retail and creative offices as a form of placemaking to repurpose the industrial warehouses into hyperlocal destinations that reflect the rich culture and diversity of the Second Ward neighborhood.
