Greenway Plaza is a master-planned mixed-use development off of U.S. Highway 59 in Houston, Texas, five miles (8 kilometers) west of Downtown Houston and three miles (5 kilometers) east of Uptown Houston. Greenway Plaza is Houston's first totally planned business-commercial-residential complex developed by the late Kenneth Schnitzer. Greenway Plaza is owned and operated by subsidiaries of Crescent Real Estate Equities Co. (NYSE: CEI).

The late civil engineer Jack Boyd Buckley also worked on the Greenway Plaza design.[citation needed]
