City of Nassau: Bay Incomparable Waterfront on the Leading Edge of Technology
Nassau Bay has always been at the center of the American Space Program. Adjacent to beautiful Clear Lake, Nassau Bay originally was developed to accommodate Johnson Space Center (JSC) and provide housing as well as other amenities to the astronauts, industry professionals and their families.
The city of Nassau Bay has blossomed into a major tourist destination with an estimated 2,500 people participating in a plethora of activities taking place at any given time. Some of the most popular events include the Annual Ballunar Festival, at which spectators can watch more than 100 hot air balloons take flight over NASA’s Rocket Park, and the Wings Over Houston Airshow, where attendees can take in the experience of spectacular aerial performances. Other exciting attractions include Space Center Houston, where you can take tours of JSC, and the Clear Lake Recreation Area, the third largest boating center in the United States.
The City of Nassau Bay recently teamed up with Griffin Partners to create new development and began renovating the city in an effort to keep up with ever-growing tourism demands. The newly named Nassau Bay Town Square is a 31-acre mixed-use development located across from JSC that will feature three Silver LEED office buildings with approximately 500,000 square feet of space, a 313-unit multifamily project, a 124-suite Marriott Hotel, retail space, conference center and City Hall. The redesigned streets and promenade will have sidewalks and benches as well as charming landscaping to encourage pedestrian traffic.
Also recently renovated, the Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake is a suburban resort where each suite has a view of magnificent Clear Lake. The hotel creates a relaxing environment for business and leisure travelers alike.
