About Spring, TX
Spring is a census-designated place in Harris County with approximately 62,559 residents, positioned immediately north of Houston along the I-45 corridor. The area is defined by three dominant industries: technology — anchored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE, ~61,000 employees globally), which relocated its global headquarters to Spring's Springwoods Village campus in 2022 — energy operations from ExxonMobil, Shell, and Chevron Phillips Chemical, and a growing healthcare campus anchored by St. Luke's Health Springwoods Village Hospital and HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest. Spring ISD serves the primary K-12 population while Lone Star College provides community college access. This convergence of major corporate IT infrastructure, active energy sector lease cycles, and regulated healthcare systems makes Spring one of the highest-value markets in Texas for certified end-of-lease IT asset disposition services.
