HUMBLE, TX — Nestled along the growing area outside Humble, Texas, and along a stretch of East Beltway 8, is one of the fastest growing communities in the Houston area.
Generation Park is quietly becoming home to large companies such as TechnipFMC, which opened their new campus there in 2016.
And now, McCord Development Inc., which owns Generation Park, is building its own headquarters across the street from TechnipFMC.
McCord Development has been acquiring land in North Houston since 1985.
In 1995, McCord was the original developer of Summerwood, a thriving 1,541-acre master-planned community that is adjacent to the north of Generation Park.
Since then, Generation Park has seen a flurry or retail development in the northern segments of the 4,000 acre campus, as well as plans from San Jacinto College and Lone Star College to develop work force education facilities there.

In July 2016, McCord Development broke ground on Redemption Square, a mixed-used development, and its headquarters building, located at 250 Assay St.
Redemption Square will include restaurants and retail on the ground floor, and corporate offices for McCord Development on the second floor, with Apache Industrial Services on the fourth and fifth floors.
The third floor has not yet been leased, but officials at McCord Development don’t feel the space will be vacant too much longer.

Ian Adler, McCord’s Market Director, toured the headquarters facility with members of Integrate, a Houston-based public relations agency and members of the media in July.

The ground floor, which Adler called "the jewel box" is a glass enclosed area reserved for restaurants and retail, with dining areas inside and out. The patio will also have an area for music and enterainment, and allow space for pleny of foot traffic, Adler said.
