Bridgeland Plants 250,000 Seedlings in Community Tree Farm

Jim Mulholland — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:39:12 +0000

(Cypress, TX – Jan. 27, 2012) Bridgeland is going green in a big way.

The master-planned community is planting more than 250,000 tree seedlings on a 1,300-acre parcel of undeveloped land as part of an ongoing tree farm operation. Eventually, nearly 700,000 trees will be planted.

The project began in 2006 and during the ensuing five years, more than 80,000 trees were planted on 507 acres. In 2013, the project will finish with its biggest effort — more than 350,000 trees planted on an additional 1,300 acres.

The year-old seedlings include a variety of trees, including loblolly pines and six species of oak trees: live oak, nuttall oaks, swamp chestnut oaks, willow oaks, laurel oaks and Monterrey oaks. Trees are moved to more developed areas of Bridgeland when caliper size exceeds four inches.

Some of the earliest plantings of loblolly pines have reached that size and crews are now moving these select trees to more developed areas. The young oaks will need another year or two before being moved and replanted. Since they are not irrigated, the seedlings are planted between December and February, allowing them to become established before often brutal summer heat.

The increase in the number of seedlings planted this year is partly in response to last year’s severe drought, during which an extraordinary number of trees and other plants were lost throughout the Houston area.

“We needed to replace the 150 acres of tree seedlings planted last year because there was insufficient rainfall for the seedlings to take,” said Tricia Brasseaux, design project manager for Bridgeland.

In addition to the 150-acre tree farm, Bridgeland experienced a 5 to 10 percent mortality rate for established trees in the community. Other areas of Houston experienced similar losses and are undertaking reforestation projects, including Re-Plant Houston, a move by the Houston Parks and Recreation Department to plant more than 25,000 trees in four parks.

However, Bridgeland would have increased the number of seedlings planted even without last year’s drought.

“We have had such success with the previous tree plantings that we decided to increase the acreage this year to include everything west of the Grand Parkway and south of House Hahl Road. When it’s time to develop this area many years from now, these seedlings will provide us with an existing vegetative canopy,” Brasseaux said.

This year’s reforestation project also includes planting a 150-foot buffer of loblolly pines on either side of a transmission power line corridor that runs north-south in a currently undeveloped part of Bridgeland. When the surrounding area is platted for homes in more than 10 years, residents will be able to enjoy a wooded park and trail area.

“Utility corridors are often a necessity in large-scale developments such as Bridgeland,” said Peter Houghton, vice president of the master-planned community. “Where homes in these areas often sell for less because of the transmission lines, we are going to convert the corridor to yet another amenity, hopefully making nearby homes a coveted area.”

Bridgeland has often been awarded for excellence in development and most recently won a Community of the Year Silver Award from the National Association of Home Builders in The Nationals’ 2011 competition and was named Developer of the Year in the Texas Association of Builders’ 2011 Star Awards for a second consecutive win. Bridgeland also was named Master-Planned Community of the Year during The Nationals’ 2009 Gold Awards, topping both national and international entrants, and is a finalist in the 2012 competition, whose winners will be announced next month.

VA Loans in the Houston Area

Jim Mulholland — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:57:03 +0000

This is a guest post written by Matt Puettmann, Content Manager at Veterans United Home Loans.

Before the housing bust drove down home values, sent houses underwater, and increased foreclosures, real estate was considered one of the safer investments you could make. In Houston, it still is.

Even while the national economy is still struggling its way toward recovery, the Houston housing market has continued to be strong. Compared with last year, Houston’s 2011 housing sales have increased nearly 26% for homes above $500,000, and nearly 19% for houses in the $150,000 to $250,000 range. Numbers like these have landed Houston among the top three housing markets in the country, with stable prices and expectations for strong future growth.

This is great news for anyone thinking of purchasing a home in the area, because they can expect their property investment to increase in value the way it did for most of our history.

The strong housing market does mean there is more competition for homes in Houston. But if you’re a veteran or an active duty member of the military, your VA mortgage gives you an advantage over other home shoppers. While they struggle to save up for a down payment so they can qualify for a mortgage, you’re ready to buy…because the VA loan program offers no-down-payment financing to qualified borrowers.

Plus, while financial institutions require higher and higher credit scores for mortgage seekers, veterans and their families don’t need to have perfect credit to qualify for a VA loan. In fact, most lenders require a credit score of just 620.

VA mortgage financing is available for active duty military personnel, veterans of both wartime and peacetime service, members of the selected reserve and some spouses. A Certificate of Eligibility is required, and the easiest way to get one is to consult a VA approved lender. You can do it yourself, but it can take weeks to accomplish what these professionals can do in seconds.

Bridgeland’s Water Haven Park — Sprayground / Park Space

Jim Mulholland — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:21:05 +0000

(Cypress, TX – Jan. 25, 2012) The master-planned community of Bridgeland is expanding its array of amenities, with a new park and sprayground starting construction the first quarter of 2012.

The 3-acre park will be located in Bridgeland’s Water Haven community, a collection of eight neighborhoods where home prices begin in the $180,000s. The park will offer several active play spaces, including a sprayground with a tall custom water tower spray structure and low-profile bubbling sculptures for a variety of age ranges. Anchoring the sprayground is a pavilion that will offer picnic tables and proximity to barbecue grills. Children ages two to five will have a dedicated playground while older children can climb and slide in an adjacent play space. Near both playgrounds is a swing set area that caters to all ages.The park, designed by KGA/DeForest Design, LLC, also offers a broad stretch of open space. Reforestation efforts will add to the park’s landscape. MCCM Architects designed the pavilion, restrooms and water tower feature.The site is expected to open before the end of the year and is one of six parks planned for Water Haven.“The Water Haven park plan follows our standard of having a neighborhood park no more than a quarter-mile from every home,” said Peter Houghton, vice president of Bridgeland.

The Bridgeland master plan allows for 3,000 acres of open and recreation space — more than 25 percent of Bridgeland’s total 11,400 acres. This includes 900 acres of lakes, with more than 300 already in use.

Cypress / Harris County Flood Plain Maps

Jim Mulholland — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:55:36 +0000

It is a well known fact that the Houston and the surround areas flood. Therefore, if you are purchasing any sort of real estate in the Houston area (including Cypress), it is good to know if that piece of property sits in a flood plain.

If you are looking in Harris County, the Harris County Flood Education Mapping Tool website is the place to go.

I demonstrate how to use the flood plain mapping tool while highlighting a few Cypress area neighborhoods in the video below.

Keeping Your Home Clutter-Free

Jim Mulholland — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:54:23 +0000

This is a guest post written by Matt Schexnayder of SpareFoot .

Everyone has lofty ambitions of home organization but not many can accomplish it. We all
say that one day we will get organized, but, before you know it, ten years has gone by and
everything is still a mess. And what happens if all of the sudden you decide to move? How will
you approach this situation now that the clock is ticking? Bring on the migraines.

People who manage to stay organized have never experienced this sense of panic and they are
lucky. But how do they do it? What is their secret?

Well, a select few are just naturally good at keeping things in order, but most require the helping hand of a self-storage facility. Renting a self-storage unit is by far the best way to keep your home clutter-free.

Right after you move into a new home, even after you have rearranged, there is still never
enough room to put all your belongings, due to the fact that people don’t have the heart to throw
away items that were once precious to them. Even though you are living in a mess, you still can’t
find it in you to throw anything out. This being the case, most people best scenarios is a clutter-
less home with an overstuffed garage.

Instead of spreading the mess of a renovation all over your house or in your garage, rent a small
unit from one of your local self-storage companies. Keep all of the things you can’t use out of the
way until you have found a place for them. Placing your unused items in cheap storage units can
help cut down on the visual chaos of a messy house, and it also gives you an opportunity to take
a mental break from the stress.

Listed below are a few tips for achieving home AND garage organization, the divide and
conquer way.

Step One - Before you can conquer, you must divide. This means separating the “keepables” from the “unkeepables” and using a judicious eye to identify belongings that should be given or thrown away.
Step Two - Conquer. Identify what you need and segregate what you don’t need. These are the items you’ll be putting into storage.
Step Three - Pack things logically. Don’t just throw everything into a box. By packing things in an organized manner and labeling boxes, you’ll make it much easier to find something.

Putting the home you’re living in in order can be one of the most stressful things you do as an
adult. However, you can minimize the chaos and relieve some of the tension in your home by
taking advantage of cheap storage units.

Cypress Creek Lakes Phase 3 Rec Center to be Complete Mid-2012

Jim Mulholland — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:36:34 +0000

Cypress Creek Lakes, the master planned community off of Fry south of Highway 290 in Cypress, TX, is still on track to have its new recreation center complete by mid 2012.

Cypress Creek Lakes Phase 3 Map

Here is a list of amenities slated to be included in this new section of Cypress Creek Lakes:

a visitor information center
an Olympic size/swim team size pool
community meeting space
a fitness room
a covered barbeque pavilion
a splash pad
a playground
many more builders and home plans to choose with lot sizes ranging from 50′ wide to 80′ wide

This is great news for both current residents of Cypress Creek Lakes and those people looking to buy a home in the Cypress area. Area new home buyers who would like amenities such as a fitness room and an olympic sized swimming pool will now have another community option in addition to Fairfield, Bridgeland, and Towne Lake.

The visitor information center will also be a big help for potential future residents and also really needed to complete with the other big three Cypress area master planned communities.

If Cypress Creek Lakes can manage to keep their tax rate in the 3.1% range for their new section (versus 3.7% in Bridgeland &
Towne Lake), that would be a huge competitive advantage, too!

Here is some more information about Phase 3 from the Cypress Creek Lakes website:

“With the completion of Tuckerton Road, between Fry Road and Greenhouse, Mischer Development is excited to begin construction on Phase 3 of the remaining 700 acres of Cypress Creek Lakes. Cypress Creek Lakes Phase 3 will have over 1100 lots and 100 acres of commercial land, available for development opportunities. Metropolitan Baptist Church purchased 100 acres located on the Southeast corner of Fry and Tuckerton. We look forward to having new lots, and our new recreation facility mid-year of 2012,” according to Randy Corson, Director of Marketing for Mischer Development Company.

New Elementary School to Open in Bridgeland in 2013

Jim Mulholland — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:32:31 +0000

For immediate release

CFISD Trustees Approve Opening Date for Bridgeland Elementary

(Cypress, TX – Jan. 4, 2012) Construction will begin in 2012 on the first school within Bridgeland.

Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District trustees recently approved an opening date of 2013 for Elementary No. 53, to be constructed on a 14.5-acre parcel of land located in Bridgeland’s community of The Cove overlooking Cypress Lake.

“One of the conceptual plans under consideration is a unique two-story design with abundant windows to capture the views of Cypress Lake and the Cypress Creek Nature Preserve, which will be utilized as an outdoor classroom for students,” said Peter Houghton, vice president of Bridgeland.

The district is expected to have a school rendering available in January.

Dr. Pam Wells, Cy-Fair’s associate superintendent for governmental, community and planning initiatives, told board members at a Dec. 12 meeting that the district’s growth rate has been higher than originally projected, mandating the need for additional campuses. Of the three campuses approved during the meeting, the Bridgeland school will be the first to open. Construction of the schools will be funded through an $807 million bond referendum passed in 2007.

Bridgeland students currently attend Warner Elementary, Smith Middle School and Cypress Ranch High School, all opened within the last few years and located on a 130-acre multi-school site directly across from Bridgeland’s main entrance. As development continues, nine schools are planned to open within Bridgeland,
