“As we shape our cities of tomorrow and deliver the new urban experiences that people and businesses are seeking today, we are designing communities with urban amenities and intelligent infrastructure integrated into expansive open settings, with convenient access to major metropolitan cities. Howard Hughes is defined by our steadfast commitment to the master planned communities we develop and operate.”

Our Vision

Our vision is to curate vibrant communities that elevate the everyday, creating meaningful moments in great places where people can live their best lives and thrive for generations to come.

We design, build, own, and manage some of the nation’s most desirable neighborhoods, guided by a long-term commitment to sustainability, authenticity, and excellence in design. Every community we create grows organically over time, rooted in local character and built to endure.
