The new development in northwest Harris County is expected to include an entertainment district.

HOUSTON — “Harris County, we’re keeping the Houston Texans here at home, where they belong.”

“The Bubble” been a fixture across the street from NRG Stadium for more than two decades, but the Houston Texans‘ practice facility could soon be on the move.

During the Harris County Commissioners Court on Thursday, Commissioners Lesley Briones and Tom Ramsey said the training facility and team headquarters would be moving to the Bridgeland community in Cypress.

“Their future practice facility and headquarters will be in northwest Harris County,” Precinct 4 Commissioner Briones said.

Harris County commissioners voted unanimously to move forward with the plans. County officials said Harris County will provide $150 million for infrastructure improvements while the team is footing the bill for the facilities.

About 22 of the 83-acre development will be devoted to a “state-of-the-art global headquarters and training complex for the Texans,” according to a news release from the team.

“This agreement covers everything from infrastructure improvements, more access to Harris County services, youth development, and economic growth – it truly is a great day for Harris County,” Precinct 3 Commissioner Ramsey said.

The mixed-use development plan is projected to drive $34 billion in economic impact across the region, create more than 17,000 jobs, and feature 61 acres of retail, restaurant, hotel, commercial, entertainment, and medical office space in Bridgeland Central, the community’s emerging 925-acre urban core developed by Howard Hughes Communities.

McNair, on Thursday, said the team was excited about the move.

“Our organization continues to grow, and this aligns with our goals of bringing a championship to Houston, enhancing community services and making sports more accessible,” McNair said. “This project reinforces our long-term commitment to Harris County and our focus on driving growth and opportunity for the community.”

Houston is one of only a handful of NFL teams currently without a separate practice facility.

Briones said the northwest region of Harris County is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. She said the move to Bridgeland is expected to generate billions of dollars in economic development over the next three decades.

“There will be a prioritization for local jobs. This (relocation), specifically, 60,000 jobs will be created in the next decade, and 17,000 jobs specifically to this Toro District,” Briones said.

The team said it expects to move into the new facility in 2029.
