Convention District 2025 Master PlanPlanning
│ Planning December
2011
George R. Brown Convention
Center 2025 Master Plan
“A significant increase in residents in
close proximity would indirectly support
the long range vision for the GRBCC.
More residents equate to more amenities
that, in turn, would be available to
convention visitors. An increase in
people living downtown would result in
more pedestrians on downtown streets,
24-7, fostering a sense of urban vitality
and safety for residents and visitors alike”
H-GAC Downtown/EaDo Livable Center │ Planning September 2011
Houston Galveston Area Council:
Downtown/ EaDo Livable Centers Study
“With its proximity to downtown, the Study
Area has a strong market demand for
residential units…The biggest limitation
on residential development, though, is not
demand but land values; the disparity
between current rents and land values
makes it difficult for development to
‘pencil out’.”
Convention District│ Planning January 2012 (ULI-TAP)
Urban Land Institute Technical
Assistance Panel report:
“The effort and public funds already
expended within the area and the
economic importance of the area to the
city as a whole is too great, the window of
opportunity is too short, and the margin
for error is too slim for this market
potential to be realized without bold steps
also being taken by the public sector.”
