Houston has been seeing an influx of home sales, especially within its master-planned communities. Within RCLCO’s 2023 ranking of the top 50 master-planned communities in the nation, 12 properties were located in Houston.

People have been gravitating toward MPCs for their sense of community as well as their amenities, including pools, fitness centers and retail and dining all located within the community. Houston-based developers and investors can tap into the features that make MPCs attractive for residents of all ages by exploring the current trends and how they can be financed at Bisnow’s The Future Of Houston’s Master-Planned Communities event on Feb. 22.

The event, which will be held at the JW Marriott Houston by the Galleria, will dive into all things MPC, including prospective investment opportunities, its variety of amenity offerings, financing and more.
