Takeaways:
Healthcare leads the pack with ~$236M in Memorial Hermann and Houston Methodist expansions, boosting capacity and resilience.
Big retail & housing landings—Costco’s $64.5M warehouse and Venterra’s $50M apartments—bring jobs, convenience, and supply.
Mobility & livability rise via the $17.6M Cypress North Houston Rd project, plus new school additions and neighborhood parks.
I cannot blink lately without seeing a “coming soon” sign or a new project registered with the state. Cypress is in a major growth phase, and we are here for it. There have been 183 new projects registered for Cypress since March of 2025, about 6 months ago, as of the time of posting.
I’m not going through ALL of them (who has that kind of time), but I will provide the rundown.
These Are the Big Projects Shaping Cypress Since March 2
Cypress is in a full-on build boom. In the last six months, more than 100 projects were registered—ranging from hospital expansions and new schools to a Costco warehouse, apartments, and multiple neighborhood parks. We combed through the filings and pulled the ones residents will feel the most in daily life.
1) Healthcare expansions (the biggest story)
Memorial Hermann Cypress Campus Expansion (Additions) — $98.3M (Review Complete). A major capacity lift for inpatient and specialty care on the northwest side.
MH Cypress Campus Expansion – Diagnostic/Treatment — $59.0M (Review Complete). More rooms and equipment for testing and procedures, easing wait times.
Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital – 2025 Buildouts — $50.0M (Registered). System-wide buildout work that signals longer-term growth.
Memorial Hermann Central Utility Plant Updates — $10.5M (Closed). Back-of-house reliability upgrades that keep care running during peak demand and storms.
Howard Hughes Bridgeland MHHS Medical Office Building — $12.4M (Review Complete). New outpatient services closer to Bridgeland.
Plus targeted upgrades: new specialty clinic space ($3.3M), imaging & diagnostics ($2.0M), and wound care ($550K).
Why it matters: These projects collectively mean more specialists, shorter commutes for care, and better resiliency during hurricane season—top concerns we hear from readers.
2) Retail anchors and everyday conveniences

Refreshes locals will notice: Walmart remodel ($1.12M), Trader Joe’s update ($900K), Sephora (Outlets) refresh ($725K), and a new Walk-On’s buildout ($1.5M).
Why it matters: Big anchors like Costco draw jobs and tax revenue, and the remodels improve the shopping experience residents use weekly.
3) Housing & storage growth
Venterra Spring Cypress Apartments — $50.0M (Registered). A large new multifamily community is adding much-needed supply.
Garages of America at Towne Lake — $21.2M (Review Complete) and Luxelocker Storage — $13.8M (Registered).

The Bottom Line
Cypress continues to scale up fast. The healthcare surge is the headline—three nine-figure hospital investments are a strong signal of demand and confidence. Retail (hello, Costco) and housing are close behind, with roads and schools rounding out the essentials that keep quality of life high.
