Friendswood City Council Reviews $50.9 Million Bond Recommendations for Parks and Drainage

During its July 6 meeting, the Friendswood City Council received the results of a community-wide survey regarding a proposed $50.9 million bond package for 2026. The recommendations from the Bond Ad Hoc Committee focus on critical drainage improvements, public facility upgrades, and expanding local park and recreation infrastructure to meet growing resident needs.

Tannos Group Secures $28 Million Financing for Albritton Multifamily Development

Developer Tannos Group has obtained a $28 million construction loan to begin 'The Albritton,' a four-story, 111-unit luxury multifamily project at 408 South Friendswood Drive. The development includes ground-floor retail and resort-style amenities, marking a significant milestone after the city amended long-standing zoning laws to allow for more dense, purpose-built rental complexes.

Real estate impact: The introduction of high-end multifamily housing and retail in the downtown core increases local walkability and density, which typically drives up demand and values for nearby single-family residential properties.
