Howard Hughes Corporation & Primrose School Breaks Ground in Hughes Landing

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Executives from The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) and Primrose School recently broke ground on the first early childhood school in Hughes Landing®, a mixed-use development on Lake Woodlands. The 10,000-square-foot building and playground will be located on Hughes Landing Blvd., adjacent to the Two Hughes Landing and Three Hughes Landing parking garages.

Primrose is an accredited early childhood education school that serves children from six weeks to kindergarten and offers summer camps. Construction on Primrose School is underway with completion slated for 2019.

Don and Arlena McLaughlin will operate Primrose School in Hughes Landing. This will be the McLaughlin’s fourth educational childcare franchise in The Woodlands and seventh location overall. The other three schools in The Woodlands are situated in the Villages of Sterling Ridge, College Park and Creekside Park®, while three additional schools are in Spring.

“Primrose is committed to providing a valuable education while building strong, trusted relationships,” said Arlena McLaughlin. “We are delighted to add a location in The Woodlands in Hughes Landing near the beautiful 200-acre Lake Woodlands, as that area is flourishing with a diverse array of residents and professionals in need of safe, nurturing quality care for their young children to thrive.”

Rip Reynolds, Vice President, Leasing and Commercial Land for The Howard Hughes Corporation, added, “As an award-winning urban development, the unique and acclaimed design of Hughes Landing on Lake Woodlands provides a walkable destination where office tenants, residents and visitors can live, work, play and discover. Hughes Landing was originally designed to accommodate an early childhood education facility to serve the needs of our residents and the employees of our office, retail and restaurant tenants. Primrose School is a well-known and highly respected educational establishment and is an excellent fit for Hughes Landing. We have enjoyed our continued partnership with Primrose and the McLaughlin’s through the years.”

Hughes Landing is one of Houston’s premier mixed-use urban centers. Along with retail and dining, Hughes Landing features multifamily living at One Lakes Edge® with an additional multifamily project underway; five Class A office buildings with multiple buildings planned; and an Embassy Suites by Hilton.
