The Woodlands Town Center

As The Woodlands grew, leaders knew that they had to organize and plan for the large amount of development coming in, this led to the creation of The Woodlands Town Center, The Woodlands downtown. The Woodlands has done an excellent job of designing The Woodlands Town Center. The Woodlands Town Center was designed to be the main commercial hub for The Woodlands. Although each village gets a shopping center, The Town Center is home for business, shopping and hotels and entertainment for the entirety of The Woodlands. It is home to offices for Chevron Philips, Anadarko Petroleum, Huntsman Corporation, Woodforest National Bank, Banker Hughes, Chicago Brick & Iron, McKesson Corporation, Aon plc, Maersk Line, Safmarine, GeoSouthern Energy, ExxonMobile and Southwestern Energy Company. It is home to a large outdoor auditorium called The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and shopping such as The Woodlands Mall and Market Street.

The Woodlands Town Center is a rare example of new urbanism done right and is a great asset to The Houston region.
