Emerging Leaders for
light
bites and cocktails at The Marque as
we learn about the development of Houston's premier mixed-use urban
development
City Centre.
City
Centre encompasses five office
buildings, three multifamily residential options, brownstones, two
hotels,
street front restaurants and retail space, conference space, a cinema,
a
health/fitness facility, and parking. The project has been developed on
a
37-acre site—recently expanded to 47 acres—formerly occupied by a
retail mall
that was failing. The development strategy involved demolishing all the
existing retail buildings but retaining the three existing parking
structures.
The plan revolves around a central open space/plaza that is surrounded
by
hotel, office, restaurant, and retail uses. The design features several
internal streets and a pedestrian-friendly environment.
