HOUSTON—More than 20 years ago, McCord Development started acquiring property in northeast Houston. The company's massive Generation Park, located on the northeast corner of Beltway 8/Sam Houston Tollway, is the result, a 4,000-acre mixed-use master-planned enterprise park. GlobeSt.com's Anna Caplan recently spoke with John Flournoy, director of sales and leasing at the park, to learn more about the development.

GlobeSt.com: Tell us a little about the backstory of Generation Park.

Flournoy: McCord Development started acquiring property in northeast Houston more than 20 years ago, with the belief that it was a beautiful, close-in setting for businesses and families alike. The completion of Beltway 8 in February of 2011 through the middle of our property greatly improved access to the area and we decided the time was right to bring Generation Park to market. The master plan has been thoughtfully designed not only to meet the needs of today's companies and employees, but for those of the future. Generation Park has been carefully divided into five distinct districts, each to accommodate the unique needs of specific types of organizations. Our commercial guidelines promote high-quality construction and aesthetics, encourage creativity and protect the long-term investment our all users in the park.
