Carman continued, "One of the top-selling communities in the country, Bridgeland is poised to benefit from the influx of businesses and their employees seeking to live and work in a centralized location that offers commercial opportunities as well as single-family and multifamily housing options to meet growing demand."

Bloomberg noted the oil company recently announced plans to downsize its headquarters in the San Francisco Bay area and allowed employees to move to Houston, where 7,000 employees and contractors work out of a downtown office tower. "The potential research-and-development facility would provide office and laboratory research space to enable new capabilities and provide flexibility for future activities," Chevron told Bloomberg in a statement. "Chevron is attracted to the opportunities Bridgeland has to offer and views this acquisition as a strong addition to our asset portfolio," said Daniel Abate, Head of Corporate Real Estate for Chevron.

And this trend might last a decade, according to hedge fund manager Kyle Bass.
