Ashford Yard to Revitalize Former Schlumberger Office into Vibrant Mixed-Use Development in West Houston
The former Schlumberger office site in West Houston, located at 1325 S Dairy Ashford Road, is set to undergo a major transformation into Ashford Yard, a vibrant, mixed-use development that will serve as the new heart of the neighborhood. Located in the Energy Corridor submarket, one of Houston’s most densely populated and commercially active areas, the 12.7-acre site will feature a blend of experiential retail, luxury apartments, restaurants, and office spaces designed to foster community connections and offer a modern, walkable environment for both residents and visitors.
Led by Market Square Companies, a Houston-based commercial real estate investment firm, and Tenon Property Company, Ashford Yard aims to create a dynamic destination that offers something for everyone, from dining and entertainment to green spaces and residential living. The development, reminiscent of the success seen at CityCentre in West Houston, will feature a thoughtfully curated collection of retailers and service providers designed to meet the needs of the local community and attract those working in nearby offices.
