New and Expanded Commercial Leases announced at Hughes Landing
Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. today announced strong first quarter leasing activity, securing multiple new and expanded commercial office leases totaling more than 31,000 square feet at Hughes Landing® and 6 Waterway in The Woodlands®. These strategic transactions reflect the high demand for office space in this dynamic community, further solidifying The Woodlands as a top destination for leading businesses and innovators.
“The tremendous interest we’ve generated in commercial space in The Woodlands reflects the meticulous effort we’ve put into planning and designing this one-of-a-kind community,” said Alex Hancock, Senior Vice President, National Sales & Leasing at Howard Hughes. “It’s particularly rewarding when companies not only choose to relocate here but also expand, reinforcing the exceptional value The Woodlands delivers.”
CB&I, the world’s leading designer and builder of storage facilities, tanks, and terminals, is expanding its regional and global headquarters with an additional 12,000 square feet at 1725 Hughes Landing. This significant expansion follows the company’s initial relocation in September 2024, during which it leased 43,000 square feet at Hughes Landing. Less than a year later, CB&I has underscored its commitment to The Woodlands. Steve Hesse of JLL represented CB&I in the transaction.
“CB&I’s relocation to Hughes Landing has been an overwhelming success for our company, our employees and the community alike,” said Nancy Turner, Sr. Director of Marketing & Communications, CB&I. “The best-in-class office space we now occupy is surpassed only by the amenity-rich community and the overall improved quality of life we all enjoy in The Woodlands. Expanding our presence here was an easy decision, and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with this first-rate community.”
In addition to the CB&I expansion, Bogart Wealth, a wealth management firm, is expanding its footprint at 1725 Hughes Landing by leasing an additional 1,850 square feet of commercial space. Noah Kruger of Savills represented Bogart Wealth in the transaction.

“Our teams are seeing steady interest from companies seeking office space in a community that offers
exceptional amenities, reduced commute times, top-rated schools, world-class shopping, dining, entertainment, and a variety of options for connection,” Hancock added.
