Firearm Legal Defense Firm Relocates Headquarters to Houston’s East River Development
Date Published
A national firearm legal defense organization is making a major move to Houston, selecting Midway’s East River development as its new headquarters. The company’s relocation to the mixed-use project marks another milestone for East River, which continues to draw businesses seeking modern space and close proximity to downtown.
The firm, known for providing legal protection services for firearm owners, is planning to establish offices and operations within the first phase of East River. The development spans 150 acres along the Buffalo Bayou and is designed as a long-term urban revitalization project featuring residential units, retail, office space, and recreational amenities.
Why the relocation matters
The move signals growing business confidence in East River. The project, led by Houston-based Midway, aims to redefine the city’s east side by delivering a blend of workspace and neighborhood-focused amenities. With the addition of the firearm legal defense organization, East River continues to build a diverse tenant mix that includes technology firms, consumer brands, and professional service companies.
Company leaders noted that Houston’s business environment and the development’s strategic location helped drive the decision. The headquarters will house administrative teams, membership support operations, and legal service coordination. The footprint is expected to accommodate future staffing growth as demand for the company’s programs continues to expand nationwide.
East River’s broader impact
Midway’s East River is among the largest mixed-use projects underway in the region, with plans spanning multiple phases over the next decade. Phase one opened in 2023, delivering office buildings, retail storefronts, green space, and new public waterfront access.
The arrival of new corporate tenants enhances the project’s mission to create a dynamic economic hub. The ripple effects extend beyond commercial expansion, supporting job creation and bringing new amenities to surrounding neighborhoods.
What’s next
The headquarters build-out is expected to begin soon, with occupancy planned following completion of interior construction. As East River continues to attract activity, additional announcements are anticipated in the coming months.
For Houston’s business community, this relocation underscores continued momentum in mixed-use developments that blend workspace, lifestyle offerings, and regional connectivity.
