ABOUT SPRINGWOODS VILLAGE

Springwoods Village is a 1,800-acre, mixed-use community 20 miles north of downtown Houston designed

to combine preservation of the existing ecosystem and a walkable, urban environment, with easy access

to jobs, retail, entertainment and nature, while instituting high sustainability standards on all residential

and commercial construction – an approach never before used in master-planned communities located in

and around the Houston area. The community will serve up to 50,000 workers and residents through

diverse housing options and amenities that balance nature and urbanism.

The existing forest and Spring Creek ecosystems are protected and preserved throughout the construction

phase, using best practices in sustainable design and infrastructure. The community is directly connected

through the Springwoods Village Nature Preserve to the Spring Creek Greenway, Houston’s premier

regional greenway system, providing the Springwoods Village community with access to 46 miles of

continuous trails, recreation and natural ecosystems.

The community is a short drive to Bush Intercontinental Airport. Bordering the east side of the property,

I-45 provides convenient access to The Woodlands and downtown Houston. The Grand Parkway, due to

be completed in late 2015, will create a new Springwoods Village interchange on the southern edge of the

community to provide access to destinations west and east of Springwoods Village.

CURRENT STATUS OF SPRINGWOODS VILLAGE

Infrastructure

With the initial road network complete, Springwoods Village opened to the public in spring 2014. CityPlace

infrastructure construction is continuing with additional roads and underground utilities. Streetscapes and

parks are also under way and the community’s initial walking network is expected to be complete by fall

2015. The bridge on Holzwarth Rd along with the expansion of Holzwarth Road to Spring Stuebner Road

are completed, connecting Springwoods Village with FM 2920. Grand Parkway construction will continue

through the end of 2015, with the Grand Parkway frontage roads from Holzwarth Rd to Interstate 45

already opened to traffic in April 2015.

Residential

Phase 1 homebuilders began selling and leasing apartments and homes (The Belvedere - 342-unit

apartment building, Harper Woods - 88 single family homes and townhomes, Audubon Grove - 51 single

family homes) in spring 2014.

The first residents moved into The Belvedere in Springwoods Village, a luxury apartment community in

April 2014, while Harper Woods and Audubon Grove, the single-family subdivisions of Springwoods

Village, welcomed their first residents in the summer of 2014. Currently, more than 200 people are living

in The Belvedere and 50 families in Harper Woods and Audubon Grove. An additional 20 homes are

completed or currently under construction and model homes are open for visitors. By the end of 2015,

the number of residents in all subdivisions could reach 500.

CityPlace

In July 2014, detailed plans for CityPlace were announced. The development will include more than 4

million square feet of office space, 400,000 square feet of retail, a high-end apartment community, dining,

and other entertainment options. Construction on the first building, CityPlace 1, is planned to begin in late

2015. Fein began construction on its second multifamily community in Springwoods Village, The Mark at

CityPlace, in Springwoods Village in July 2015, with completion scheduled for end of 2016. Plans also call

the project.

Hotels

Marriott Residence Inn hotel on Holzwarth Road between E. Mossy Oaks Road and Springwoods Village

Parkway is nearing completion and is slated to open in September 2015. The developer, Woodbine

Corporation, also started the construction of the Courtyard by Marriott hotel just south of the Residence

Inn in June 2015, with the expected opening in summer of 2016.

Employment

Construction at the Southwestern Energy headquarters was completed in 2014, and approximately 1,500

employees relocated to the new headquarters in December 2014. Moreover, the ExxonMobil campus is

complete, with nearly 10,000 employees currently working in Springwoods Village.

Medical facilities

CHI St. Luke’s Health purchased 23 acres in Springwoods Village and in June 2014 broke ground on its

medical campus. Phase I of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2015. In the interim,

the Springwoods Village Primary Care Clinic operated by St. Luke’s Medical Group opened in May 2015.

Comprehensive primary care services include non-emergency care; wellness exams for infants, children

and adults; minor skin issue treatment; in-house EKG/lab collection; and more.

an approach never before used in master-planned communities located in and around the Houston

area.

A network of bike paths and walking trails will connect all areas of Springwoods Village with its

neighbors, helping reduce traffic and fostering a sense of community. In addition, all development

within Springwoods Village is required to comply with a rigorous set of design standards aimed at

maximizing energy and resource conservation.

The master plan uses a holistic environmental approach that identifies environmentally sensitive

habitats as well as preserves and enhances open spaces. CDC Houston, in partnership with Trees for

Houston and Clark Condon Associates, has created a comprehensive sustainable landscaping program

Page 13: MEDIA CONTACTS - Springwoods Village€¦ · CityPlace In July 2014, detailed plans for CityPlace were announced. The development will include more than 4 million square feet of office

A. The cost is estimated at $10 billion.

Q. How many jobs will this development create?

A. The local economy will benefit due to job creation. The community is expected to serve a workforce

of 35,000 to 50,000 employees at build-out. Further, continued construction over the next 15 to 20

years is expected to provide tens of thousands of jobs.

work?

A. Springwoods Village is owned by Springwoods Realty, with CDC Houston managing and developing the

land on the firm’s behalf. Springwoods Realty will front the cost of infrastructure improvements in the

area, funneling that money through Harris County Improvement District 18. The district is an

independent entity capable of issuing bonds and levying taxes. As the area within the district develops,

those buildings will generate property tax revenue for the county. Under the 381 agreement, the

county will reimburse 65 percent of the new tax revenue each year back to the improvement district.

Springwoods Realty will then be reimbursed through a financing agreement it has with the

improvement district.

Master-Planned Community Adds Second Hotel, Grows New Submarket in North Houston

HOUSTON (June 4, 2015) – Woodbine Development Corporation and InterMountain Management

recently finalized the purchase of nearly three acres in Springwoods Village from CDC Houston to develop

Situated on Holzwarth Road just south of the Residence Inn by Marriott - slated to open in September

developed to meet LEED Certification design and construction criteria and will feature 125 guestrooms,

including suites; 1,200 square feet of meeting space; a spacious 1,000-square-foot fitness center; and

6,300 square feet of outdoor space with a swimming pool, patio, a fire pit and an open lawn as well as The

Bistro – Courtyard by Marriott brand’s signature casual-fast restaurant and a bar.

“We’re pleased to break ground on our second project in Springwoods Village,” said King Scovell,

Woodbine’s vice president of development. “It’s been exciting to be a part of the dynamic growth of this

unique community.”

The new hotel is being co-developed by Woodbine and InterMountain Management (IMM), who will also

manage the hotel, in partnership with USAA Realco. Woodbine, known for its extensive hospitality and

mixed-use projects, is also planning to develop a full-service hotel in CityPlace Springwoods Village. Other

members of the Courtyard by Marriott development team include GH2 Hospitality Architects, Walter P.

Moore, Precision Engineering, DCI Engineers and Clark Contractors.

“With ExxonMobil’s campus and Southwestern Energy’s headquarters now open for business,

Springwoods Village has stimulated a new hotel submarket to serve the expanding employment center in

north Harris County,” said Keith Simon, executive vice president of CDC Houston. “The development of

the Courtyard by Marriott hotel is just the next step in our strategy to provide a range of hotel properties

at different price points, all within walking distance of work centers, dining, retail and recreation facilities.”
