Major mixed-use development at Lower Kirby in Pearland advances
Looking ahead
According to city documents, the mixed-use planned development would be divided into three districts: • High-density, single-family residential • Mixed-use commercial district • Waterfront entertainment mixed-use Planned Community Developers CEO Don Janssen said the plan requires nonresidential development before all residential units can be built.
Pearland City Council approved a rezoning request at its March 16 meeting for a major mixed-use development near Hwy. 288 that city leaders hope will keep residents from going to other cities for major events, shopping and dining—while also attracting visitors from other Houston suburbs, such as Sugar Land and Katy. Previously known as the Gateway to Pearland, the planned development will now be The Orchard at Lower Kirby. The request was made by Sugar Land-based Planned Community Developers. The 122-acre mixed-use development will be located near the intersection of Beltway 8 and Hwy. 288, according to city documents.
