    Two Midtown Houston Destinations Named Finalists for the 2020 Development of Distinction Awards Houston, TX, October 23, 2019​ - This month, the Houston District Council of the Urban Land Institute (ULI-Houston) announced the 10 finalists for the 2020 Development of Distinction Awards. Midtown Park and Camden McGowen Station, both prominent Midtown Houston developments, are among the finalists. Recognizing projects that demonstrate best practices in design, construction, economic viability, healthy places, and more, the prestigious award is modeled after the national Urban Land Institute Global Awards for Excellence. A nominated panel of real estate leaders selected each finalist based on how the developments enrich and advance Houston’s built environment. Midtown Park, Midtown Houston’s newest green space, has hosted more than 200 events attended by 6,000 guests since opening in 2017. It’s quickly become one of the top outdoor special event spaces in Houston, hosting weddings, music festivals, culinary events, and community gatherings. It offers three acres of park and open space with adjacent pedestrian-oriented streetscapes. The park’s larger greenspace – located on 2.5-acres south of Camden McGowen Station – includes a lawn, a pavilion for flexible programming, a wetland stream and trail, native landscaping, interactive water feature, playground, public art, market areas, and a dog park. Camden McGowen Station complements Midtown Park by offering high-density urban living right in the heart of the city.

  • Resource Assessment.Indd
    10 | Resource Assessment RESOURCE ASSESSMENT A resource assessment is a systematic way of gathering information that describes the resources and potential needs of a community. For a cultural arts master plan, this means understanding the existing population, cultural resources and physical organization of a place in order to make future decisions about cultural art investment, growth and the existing cultural art amenities that should be preserved and strengthened. There are many benefi ts to conducting a resource assessment: • Gather baseline data that can help with planning and evaluation. • Update demographic information for use in grant applications and for comparison to other cultural districts to understand the challenges and opportunities that are unique to Midtown. • Identify patterns in the location and quantity of cultural resources such as areas of overlap and areas lacking cultural resources. • Review the plans for future development and growth within the district to coordinate future cultural art investment. • Understand the physical connections between cultural arts amenities by identifying the pedestrian, bicycle, transit routes, wayfi nding signage and existing parking. • Identify existing public spaces, underdeveloped parcels and buildings that could be identifi ed as suitable locations for future cultural art investment. Midtown boasts 35 restaurants and entertainment venues, in addition to nearly 90 arts and culture venues. 11 MIDTOWN DISTRICT DEMOGRAPHICS POPULATION Population and employment speak to the general attractiveness of the District to residents, tourists and local businesses. These measures indicate overall economic development and can be used to compare Midtown with other cultural districts. Based Figure 3: Residential Population Figure 4: Employee Population on the 2015 population estimate from ESRI1, 9,818 people live in Midtown and 12,769 people work in Midtown.
