North Houston business and leisure destination, City Place, is soaring into summer with a range of June programming taking place on and around the community’s central Plaza at 1250 Lake Plaza Drive.
Seasonal Programming

City Place’s latest pop-up art exhibition Flower Clouds returns June 1 through July 27. Commissioned by London-based creative studio Graphic Rewilding – known internationally for imaginative installations that bridge urban and natural worlds – the installation is presented as a collection of whimsical park benches that colorfully depict more than 25 species of natural vegetation (as well as insects and birds) native to the Texas Gulf Coast region. Each of the unique benches reaches over six feet tall and nearly 10 feet wide and serves as a canvas for the hand drawn designs created Graphic Rewilding’s signature bold, pop impressionism style. Open to the public and free of charge, Flower Clouds can be experienced daily from 7 am until 10 pm.

Complementing two existing residential enclaves – Audubon Grove and Harper Woods – in addition to several luxury apartment communities, a new development initiative will soon add a multitude of single and multifamily housing options. Miles of trails connect an array of amenities including three Marriott hotels, more than 30,000 square feet of indoor meeting and event space, 4.75 million square feet of office space, a 150-acre nature preserve, 10-screen Star Cinema Grill dine-in theater, 38,000-square-foot 24-Hour Fitness super sport club, The Market – Houston’s first LEED Certified multi-tenant retail development – and a 60-acre, mixed-use urban core that frames a programmed, waterfront plaza and park.
