The Plant/Second Ward is a mile-long stretch of properties spanning from Harrisburg Boulevard to Buffalo Bayou East in Houston’s historic Second Ward, representing the first real estate redevelopment of its kind in Houston to embrace the notion of walkable urbanism by connecting the light rail to the bayou trails.   

 

The dynamic plan includes 250,000 square feet of retail, creative office and urban maker space in addition to 1,000 multifamily units designed for market-based, workforce housing.  The developer behind The Plant/Second Ward, Concept Neighborhood, aspires to use retail as a form of placemaking with plans to repurpose the industrial warehouses into hyperlocal retail spaces that reflect the rich culture and diversity of the Second Ward neighborhood.
