Each year, ULI members invest time, talent, and treasure to make their communities a better place in which to live. In fiscal year 2014, through the 73 district and national councils worldwide, members organized more than 1,200 events that were attended by more than 80,000 people. We are very proud of the contributions our members make each year toward building healthy, thriving communities.

This report provides a snapshot of the kinds of impact district and national council activities have made at the local level. Impact is defined as outcomes in fiscal 2014 that were triggered by previous ULI activities. The definition tacitly acknowledges that it takes time to build a city; and new ideas, strategies, and partnerships are required to bring about progress.

The following pages tell an impressive story of how ULI members have catalyzed positive change in the design and development of communities that are economically prosperous and environmentally sustainable, and which offer a high quality of life. In fiscal 2014, the outcomes of ULI’s initiatives addressed a wide range of local needs. Members shared their expertise to help Singapore address its need to improve regional mobility, to help mayors in Minneapolis meet the need for a regional forum to discuss common issues, and to help the Seattle region meet the need to mentor the next generation of men and women in the real estate industry in the Northwest.

None of this would be possible without the active leadership and valuable expertise of our members. For the initiatives in this report, we estimate the value of ULI members’ time to be more than $3.5 million. With a ULI investment of $1.3 million, including over $200,000 from the ULI Foundation Annual Fund for Urban Innovation Grants, the financial leverage is three to one.

Impact at the Local Level

2:1

ULI CONTRIBUTION: As recommended by a ULI Technical Assistance Program (TAP) panel during July 2012, the Houston City Council approved incentives to promote development of 2,500 downtown residential units by 2016. That goal was reached two years early. This past April, the city doubled the number of units eligible for incentives to 5,000. A follow-up TAP recommended improvements in the public realm and creation of more park space to serve the new residents.

OUTCOME: Houston is on course to more than double within five years the number of residential units in mixed-use, pedestrianoriented developments downtown—housing that is less than one mile from 140,000 jobs. Improvements in the public realm will support and build momentum for the residential redevelopment of this area.

ULI CONTRIBUTION: The town of Carefree requested that ULI Arizona identify a strategy for creating a vibrant town center district and related economic development opportunities.

IMPACT

“The ULI AzTAP was a significant event that moved Carefree forward in our economic development. The Town Council and our business community have joined together to support the concepts presented by the members of the panel. Cooperation and enthusiasm are a wonderful way to initiate economic development, and they are present in Carefree because of the AzTAP.”

OUTCOME: As a result of the ULI AzTAP recommendations, the town established a Revitalization Committee, hired a consultant to develop a plan, and approved development of two projects that will advance revitalization goals.

IMPACT

“The TAP provided the early guidance to the board of directors to help identify the issues, solutions, and build consensus amongst a diverse group of stakeholders. One of the key recommendations of the TAP was to hire a full-time executive director, and the board implemented that recommendation a few months after the completion of the TAP. Building on the synergy created by the TAP, the critical next steps helped to take the CID to the next level.”

$55,500 $2,500 22:1

ULI CONTRIBUTION: In 2012, a ULI Atlanta TAP advised the Fulton Industrial Boulevard CID (founded as the Boulevard CID), to implement strategies for repositioning the declining, high-crime corridor as a competitive location for business and industrial uses. Recommendations included hiring an executive director, establishing a security force, and investing in streetscaping to improve safety.

OUTCOME: By 2014, per ULI’s advice, the CID board hired a fulltime executive director. With the assistance of the new executive director, the board secured about $1 million for public improvements, including a $400,000 transportation grant and a $47,000 grant for landscaping. The outcome has resulted in 300 new jobs, an increase in economic activity, and a 15 percent reduction in crime.

ULI CONTRIBUTION: In 2012, the city of Joliet and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) asked ULI Chicago to convene a TAP panel to provide strategies for redeveloping the almost 200 acres of land occupied by the former Joliet Correctional Center and the former US Steel plant, and integrating them into the community. ULI Chicago conducted extensive outreach, including bilingual meetings, to engage local residents and forge partnerships with government and nonprofit organizations, all committed to converting the sites into a community asset.

OUTCOME: The Collins Street Task Force, inspired by ULI’s TAP recommendations, has built support from residents and local organizations, and is taking steps toward redevelopment of the sites as recreational open space. A Phase I environmental study is complete, a state shooting range has been relocated, and state legislation was introduced to transfer site ownership to Joliet.

“ULI Advisory Services led directly to the creation of affordable housing right at the I-25 and Yale light-rail station. It’s a win for the developers who backed the project and the new residents who can enjoy living with public transit literally steps away. The private developers of the site turned to ULI on how to make their financing and pro forma work using tax credits for affordable housing. In one brief session, ULI answered the questions and allowed this project to move forward in good time.”

$14,125 $2,000 7:1

ULI CONTRIBUTION: From 2010 to 2013, the ULI Colorado Housing Committee assembled teams of members who offered free site modeling, including architectural schemes and a pro forma, to developers to incentivize development of affordable housing. The teams were composed of real estate economists, architects, developers, and experts in real estate finance.

OUTCOME: As a result, three affordable housing developments have been built in the past year—two seniors’ affordable rental projects and an urban infill project—all on sites next to light-rail stations.

ULI Prompted Zoning for New “Live/Make/Sell” Districts Urban Magnets ULI Nashville SUPPORTED BY ULI FOUNDATION

ULI CONTRIBUTION: From 2011 to 2013, ULI Nashville members and partners held forums, organized educational programs, and led walking tours to learn about the challenges to and opportunities for increasing the uses allowed in urban mixed-use districts in the metro Nashville zoning code.

OUTCOME: Using information provided through ULI programming, the city’s Metro Planning Department is drafting new ”live/make/ sell” zoning districts permitting development of a blend of residential uses with appropriate light-industrial and artisanal uses.

IMPACT

“The ULI Nashville Urban Magnets Action Council has been fundamental to the realization of Core Development’s vision for Nashville’s historic Wedgewood Houston neighborhood. Over the last 18 months, this council has thoughtfully imported a development framework from Vancouver’s Granville Island in an integrative manner relevant to Nashville’s unique urban condition. The result has been a paradigmatic shift in the city’s ability to create live/make districts.”
