Kim Phillips, who was named Marketing Professional of the Year, oversees the strategic marketing and brand communications for The Woodlands, Bridgeland and The Woodlands Hills, award-winning master planned communities in the portfolio of Howard Hughes.

“What an incredible honor to be recognized by the Texas Association of Builders for our marketing efforts,” said Phillips. “This award is a reflection of the hard work and success of our entire marketing team.”

Along with The Woodlands, both Bridgeland, which was recently announced as the #1 selling community in Houston, and The Woodlands Hills, one of Houston’s newest communities, were finalists for seven additional STAR awards.

According to the Texas Association of Builders, the coveted STAR Awards were founded in 1992 as a “statewide tribute to excellence in the building industry.” The awards this year highlight the consideration Howard Hughes has put toward amenities for residents and prospective buyers, as well as the great marketing efforts of teams around Houston.
