AREA DEVELOPMENT:	Ten Oaks has approximately 2,000 feet of frontage on Interstate 10 (the Katy Freeway) adjoining the south boundary.  Immediately east of the development is the Park 10 Regional Business Center.  The project is bounded on the north by a portion of Addicks/Cullen Park, providing a buffer for the residential area north of the levee.  Ten Oaks is bounded on the west by wooded acreage.
ACCESSIBILITY:	Interstate 10 and Barker Cypress Road is a strategic intersection in west Houston.  Interstate 10 provides quick access to some of Houston’s finest residential communities as well as other major commercial centers in the city.  With completion of the widening and improvement of Interstate 10, downtown Houston is less than 20 minutes away.    Barker Cypress Road is the first major thoroughfare west of the Cullen Park system providing access to Interstate 10 for residents of northwest Houston.  It connects Interstate 10 to U.S. 290 (the Northwest Freeway).  Harris County is also studying Barker Cypress for extension to the south to connect it to the Westpark Toll Road.   Park Row, a major thoroughfare that parallels Interstate 10, is the “Main Street” of Ten Oaks and Park 10, providing additional traffic circulation.  The last remaining segment of Park Row is currently under construction. When completed late in 2009, it will connect State Highway 6 to the town of Katy.    State Highway 6, located east of the development, is a 6-lane highway providing high-speed north-south access through the western part of the metropolitan region.
TRAFFIC COUNTS:	Over 162,000 vehicles traveling on Interstate 10 pass Ten Oaks each day.  Approximately 34,230 vehicles use Barker Cypress Road.
UTILITIES:	Ten Oaks is located in the City of Houston, which provides municipal water distribution, wastewater collection and treatment.  Water supply and wastewater collection lines are located in Park Row and Barker-Cypress Road. Central plant capacity is available to serve the development.     CenterPoint Energy provides electrical power service. CenterPoint Energy/Entex provides natural gas service.  Southwestern Bell Telephone Company provides telephone service.  Fiber optic service is available.
HOUSING:	Ten Oaks is conveniently located near a variety of residential areas for executives and employees.  High quality executive housing in prestigious neighborhoods such as Kelliwood, Cinco Ranch, Fleetwood and the Memorial Villages is a quick commute from the Park.  Other communities offering mid and entry level housing are located minutes away in every direction from the development.  A number of new multi-family developments are also located in the immediate area.
