Howard Hughes Communities

Howard Hughes Communities is the master-planned communities division of Howard Hughes Holdings, responsible for creating and managing some of the most recognized large-scale developments in the United States. The division oversees six flagship communities: The Woodlands and Bridgeland in Texas, Summerlin in Nevada, Downtown Columbia in Maryland, Ward Village in Hawaii, and Teravalis in Arizona. Together, these communities span thousands of acres and represent a long-term vision for integrated living.

Each community is designed to offer a balanced mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial spaces, parks, and amenities, creating vibrant environments where people can live, work, and play. Howard Hughes Communities focuses on thoughtful planning, sustainability, and infrastructure development to support growth while preserving natural landscapes. Its approach includes building strong partnerships with homebuilders and local stakeholders to ensure high-quality design and community engagement.

The division has earned national recognition for its developments, with Summerlin and Bridgeland consistently ranked among the top-selling master-planned communities in the country. These communities feature extensive green spaces, trails, and water-smart initiatives, along with LEED-certified buildings and environmentally responsible practices.

Howard Hughes Communities operates as part of a vertically integrated model: land development leads to residential lot sales, followed by commercial development and long-term asset management. This strategy ensures continuity and enhances the overall value of each community over time.
