Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not publicly recorded. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the heliport fell into disuse and was likely officially closed in the mid-to-late 2010s. Imagery from 2017 onwards shows the helipad area being increasingly used for vehicle parking and material storage, with the markings becoming progressively faded.

Reason for Closure

The closure was almost certainly due to private economic and operational reasons. Corporate heliports are expensive to maintain, staff, and insure. It is most likely that the Durwood Greene Construction Company determined that the cost of operating a helicopter for executive transport or site surveys was no longer justified by the benefits, leading them to sell their aircraft and decommission the facility. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was related to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory pressure.

Current Status

The former heliport site is located on the company's property at 10550 W Airport Blvd, Stafford, TX. The paved area that once served as the landing and takeoff zone is now fully integrated into the company's industrial yard. It is used for parking commercial trucks and employee vehicles, as well as for the storage of construction equipment and materials. While the faint, weathered outline of the circular helipad marking can still be seen on the asphalt via satellite view, the site is no longer maintained or kept clear for any aviation activity.

Historical Significance

The heliport's significance was purely corporate and local. It served as a private aviation facility for the Durwood Greene Construction Company, a prominent construction and paving firm in the Houston metropolitan area. When active, its primary operations would have included transporting company executives and clients to and from project sites, allowing them to bypass Houston's significant traffic congestion. It was also likely used for aerial surveying of large construction projects, land parcels, and infrastructure corridors, serving as a key tool for business logistics and efficiency.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Durwood Greene Construction Company Heliport. The company has repurposed the land for its core ground-based business operations. Re-establishing the heliport would require a significant capital investment and a renewed strategic need for corporate helicopter travel, making a reopening highly improbable.
