New Health-Minded ‘Urban Oasis’ Development with Private Lake Headed to CityCentre Area

A Rendering of Remy on the Trails

A NEWLY ANNOUNCED multifamily development scheduled to debut in the fall of 2022 near CityCentre will cater to people with healthy lifestyles who want to spend more time outdoors, say its developers.


Remy on the Trails — from real estate developer and private investment and management company McNair Interests, founded by the late Houston Texans football team owner Bob McNair — will be the first of two phases of a 24-acre, 330-unit residential development. It will be built next to a private lake and tout lakeside walking trails, paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing.

The amenity-abundant property, which will feature three four-story buildings with one- and two-bedroom units, also includes luxe extras like an expansive club house and resident lounges, an infinity pool with views of the lake, an indoor gym with accompanying outdoor fitness area, bike storage centers, and multiple courtyards and other outdoor entertainment spaces. The health-minded development also included the health of its residents' pets into the design of the 400,000-square-foot spread, offering a dog-washing facility.

"People with healthy lifestyles want to spend more time outside around Houston's great parks and trails," said Drew Steffen, a senior vice president at McNair Interests, in a statement. "The approach for Remy on the Trails is to maximize options for outdoor livability. We designed this community as an urban oasis with flexible indoor-outdoor amenities, and integrated work and play spaces."

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.

CHANGE IS A good thing, and with the start of a new year, I always like to reflect on how far I've come and start fresh by setting self-care goals for the coming months. Personal growth is a passion for me, and also something I enjoy. Guiding a business through growth and change is also one of my passions, so I am very pleased to announce that Escape Spa is going to be expanding in 2025! We’re honored that we’ve built such a loyal following since opening in Cypress in July of 2022, and we’re thrilled to be in a position to grow our wellness and recovery sanctuary just outside of Houston.
