WEBSTER, TEXAS — Great Wolf Resorts Inc., a hospitality owner-operator known for indoor water park-themed lodging properties, has broken ground on a 27-acre project in Webster, a southeastern suburb of Houston. The resort will house 532 hotel rooms, a 95,000-square-foot indoor water park, a 58,000-square-foot family entertainment center and multiple food-and-beverage outlets. Great Wolf is financing the project in part through a $200 million investment from shareholders Blackstone and Centerbridge Partners. Construction of the resort, which is slated for a mid- to late-2024 completion, is expected to create about 600 full- and part-time jobs.
