BRENHAM, TEXAS — The Brenham Housing Authority (BHA) is pleased to announce 14.69 acres of land for sale through a Request For Proposal process. BHA is interested in hearing from private development groups that want to create a transformative redevelopment project in the heart of Brenham. This transaction marks a major milestone in Brenham to enhance commercial development, housing options and stimulate economic development within the community.
The property, located at the intersection of Blue Bell Road and Gayhill Street, was previously Public Housing. The existing homes have been demolished and the land will be cleared for development. “This sale represents a key opportunity for Brenham to reimagine a significant parcel of land and bring new energy to our growing city,” said Cyndee Smith of Oldham Goodwin, the listing real estate firm. “We are excited to see how this redevelopment can serve our community, not only through new housing opportunities but also through economic revitalization that aligns with the future vision for Brenham and Washington County.”
The vision for the development is to have commercial tracts and residential housing that will contribute to Brenham’s evolving landscape and meet a growing demand for services and for modern living spaces. This is in line with BHA’s mission statement: To promote a community environment of quality, affordable housing that enables residents to live responsibly and with dignity, and to support them in their efforts to achieve self-sufficiency. In line with this we are looking for redevelopment that is focused on first-home buyers and work-force housing.
Proceeds from the land sale will be reinvested into BHA programs and initiatives, helping the agency maintain a high level of their existing public housing. BHA remains committed to its mission of providing safe, quality, and affordable housing to the citizens of Brenham. Updates on the redevelopment plans will be shared with the community as they become available.
