Houston’s not just about big buildings that are not connected. It’s the connectivity of people, space and amenities.
Every project needs to be sustainable and stand on its own two feet, no philanthropist is going to be around forever...

Richard Kinder Executive Chairman of Kinder Morgan #ULISpring15
“
Creating great places and places people like, to us, is a good business and investment strategy and that’s held true from a numeric standpoint. Jonathan Brinsden CEO, Midway
“
Ultimately the benefit is not just career advice, but an opportunity to look past our goals for the day or week to something bigger and more meaningful. The ULI mentorship program gives young professionals the tools to envision who they want to become and how they plan to get there. Travis Baker Associate, Development MoodyRambin

During the year ending June 30, 2015, by every measure, ULI members set records, stepped up and made Houston stand out for local, national and global audiences. ULI Spring Meeting 2015 was Houston’s first national ULI meeting since 1992. Thanks to honorary chairman, Gerald D. Hines, meeting co-chairs Jonathan Brinsden and Tom Owens, the fundraising leadership of Ric Campo and Doug Goff, and a small army of local ULI volunteers, Houston exceeded every goal for local sponsorship, attendance, tour participation, quality programming and a positive brand image of the Houston region. Although hosting almost 3,500 of the most influential senior ULI leaders sometimes seemed all-consuming, ULI’s daily work continued. Luncheon programs on timely topics – downtown redevelopment, mobility, Northeast Houston’s rise, and growing pressure to manage water resources and stem flood damage – made front-page business news and sold out audiences. A Houston expert Technical Assistance Panel challenged local leaders to revitalize the faded Richmond Corridor area. High-ranking leaders shared life lessons with the 2015 class of ULI Wells Fargo Young Leader and Graduate Student mentees. There was so much more: student scholarships and outreach, a national expert panel on the Astrodome, mobile workshop tours that delivered education and insight into the real workings of leading-edge project design, finance and execution. And thanks to 1,200 members and 67 sponsors, we have no time to rest on our laurels. The increased visibility, impact and resources are a springboard that propels us forward. Your ULI leadership team feels inspired and challenged to build on this platform and with your help, to make a greater impact. Please join me in thanking all who made the accomplishments highlighted in this report possible. Sincerely,
Carleton Riser President, Transwestern Development Company Chair, ULI Houston

DEVELOPMENT of
DISTINCTION AWARDS
Now in its eighth year, ULI Houston’s awards program is based upon criteria used for ULI global awards. We are extremely proud of every project that strives for excellence and achieves it. The awards would not be possible without a hard-working Awards Committee, the generous service of local experts who volunteered their time to review nominations and select finalists, and judges who traveled from Denver, Los Angeles and Washington, DC to select the winners. 2015 honorees spanned the heights from Gerald D. Hines’s visionary Pennzoil Place, given new life and a thorough high-tech update under new ownership and management by Transwestern, to the complete-street makeover of Bagby Street. Sentimental favorite, Monarch School Campus, won the People’s Choice by a landslide.

Chaired by Los Angeles Developer, Wayne Ratkovich, Emeritus Trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Life Trustee of the Urban Land Institute, the panel envisioned a future as bright for the Astrodome as its storied past. They urged creation of a “grand civic space that communicates BUSINESS the can-do spirit of Texas, HarrisEXPANDS County, CORE and Houston to the world with a one-of-a-kind, publicly accessible cultural and recreational destination for residents and visitors alike.”

ULI panelists identified multiple ways and funding sources to repurpose and reuse the NRG Astrodome, plus two levels of parking underneath. An overriding concern was to create a multi-use park that would be a meaningful asset to the current users. The panel not only heeded Harris County Judge Ed Emmett’s exhortation to think of an indoor park as a green oasis under the domed roof, but took that concept outside the walls. Recommendations included an outdoor park and promenade, with broad walks lined with live oak trees and edged by pavilions that provide shade and rain protection, surrounding the central lawn. The central park space would allow informal field sports and be lined with gently rolling edges to allow seating and children’s play. Harris County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to pursue the panel’s recommendations for the Astrodome to live on.

ULI MENTORS pay it
FORWARD ULI Houston started the Young Leaders program in 2002 to engage young professionals in the real estate community, and to impart the values articulated in the ULI Membership Code of Ethics to the next generation of real estate professionals. It was the first ULI Young Leader program in the United States – and has spread across the country and globally to 14 countries in Europe and six in Asia Pacific – and now has almost 7,000 members. In 2011, the Houston District Council created the ULI Young Leader Mentorship Program, underwritten by Founding Benefactor Wells Fargo, to provide an opportunity for ULI Young Leaders and veteran ULI members to create lasting professional relationships by sharing knowledge and experiences in an intimate small-group setting. After graduating from their year of mentorship, the Young Leaders then “pay it forward” by becoming mentors to graduate real estate students. We thank the 2014–2015 ULI Wells Fargo Young Leader Mentorship Program Mentors: Alan Arnold, Rice Management Co.; Alan Patton, The Morgan Group; Mike Mair, Skanska; Ted Nelson, Newland Communities and Susan Hill, HFF.

“ Young professionals today are stepping up to take on responsibilities that will shape the future of the industry and of our cities. Transferring the wisdom of hard-earned experience from veteran leaders instills the importance of doing the right thing. The ripple effect of this transfer of knowledge is making a positive contribution to communities.” Nipul V. Patel Senior Vice President, Regional Manager, Commercial Real Estate, Wells Fargo & Company
“ I candidly feel like I have learned more from them, than they from me. I do know that the future of Houston will be in good hands if all of our ULI mentees are as inquisitive, bright and determined as my group.” Ted Nelson President, Central Region Newland Real Estate Group
“ I have very much enjoyed my group of mentees. It is exciting to see the younger generation be positive and enthusiastic about the industry!” Susan L. Hill Senior Managing Director, HFF
HIGH PROFILE
MEDIA
The tracking report of ULI’s news media coverage for the year beginning July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015 weighed in at a whopping 15 pages. The voice of ULI is being heard as never before on issues that resonate across the country, from the Astrodome panel to ULI Spring Meeting hot topics, including bike trails and green space, walkability and mixed-use redevelopment. At the regional level, ULI experts spoke out on the unquenchable thirst for growth and its impact on water resources, and ULI examined neighborhoods that changed their game to attract Millennials who are finally forming families.
“
Time and again, ULI Houston delivers the experts and the expertise on topics that are significant to the Houston community. Our strategic media relations, combined with excellent ULI Houston programming, have resulted in ULI Houston being recognized as a convenor of Houston’s top-level real estate leaders.

SEEKING our
PERSPECTIVE ALL-TEXAS FORUM
10
In September, we welcomed leaders from across the State of Texas to the annual All-Texas Council Forum. ULI Houston Members hosted mobile workshop tours of transformational mixed-use redevelopments in Downtown, Uptown, River Oaks District, Memorial City and CityCentre. Award-winning affordable and workforce housing developers, and their public sector partners, demonstrated safe, decent and attractive housing at New Hope Housing’s Rittenhouse and Brays Crossing, Avenue CDC’s Fulton Gardens and Covenant Community Capital’s The Orchard at Westchase senior communities impressed ULI visitors and helped local host committee members warm up for the heavy lift of the Spring Meeting.
ULI 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

THE SPRING MEETING is just the
BEGINNING
Houston in 1992 barely hinted at how changed the host city would be when ULI returned for its next Spring Meeting. The Institute itself was very different as well. Two decades ago, ULI had no fulltime operations in Europe or Asia Pacific. This year, ULI full members traveled from 17 foreign countries to visit Houston. Many Spring Meeting attendees had never been to Houston. Those who visited even a decade ago were amazed at the transformation. They fanned out across Houston in Mobile Workshops and Product Council meetings. They experienced Discovery Green and a reviving downtown. They biked, boated, walked and rode light rail, and saw Houston’s bayous undergoing ambitious renovation. They toured urban-style suburban centers housing corporate headquarters and diverse residential populations, validating a statistic quoted by Mayor Annise Parker that one in five Houstonians moved here from outside the United States. They learned about results-oriented philanthropy from Richard and Nancy Kinder. And, they absorbed leadership lessons in business and statesmanship from Houstonians Gerald D. Hines and James A. Baker, III.

RE-IMAGINING the
RICHMOND CORRIDOR
A public + private coalition of concerned leaders asked ULI to help them pave a brighter path for the area popularly known as the “Richmond Strip.” Richmond Avenue from Chimney Rock Road to Hillcroft Avenue and its immediate surroundings had its heyday in the ’70s and ’80s, but faded from lack of investment, inadequate infrastructure and a tarnished image. Responding to their call, ULI Houston convened a Technical Assistance Panel, (TAP). Nine local panelists with an internationally renowned chair at the helm donated time and expertise in urban planning and landscape architecture, public + private finance, retail brokerage, commercial, residential and retail development. After months of preparation, the TAP marshaled an intensive two-day study with day and night tours, more than 90 stakeholder interviews, robust discussion and deliberation. The panel concluded that in order for the Richmond area to overcome its negative
reputation, stakeholders must bring the community together to play up current assets, improve infrastructure and walkability, and rebrand itself. Creative solutions, such as repurposing Anderson Park to double as a vibrant community gathering spot while also improving storm water detention, and turning an ugly drainage ditch with a makeshift footpath into a pedestrian-friendly north-south connector street, generated excitement and media buzz. A hallmark of ULI advisory panels is that they not only deliver a new vision to meet a land use challenge, but they also identify tools, resources and action steps to bring the vision to life. Panelists urged creation of a management body – either activating a long-dormant management district, or pairing up with a nearby district – to achieve community goals. Since the panel’s presentation, community leaders and stakeholders have continued to meet and now can express their desires for community transformation with a more unified and vigorous voice.

BUILDING
HEALTHY PLACES
The beginning of the fiscal year saw the publication of Building a Healthier Texas, the final report of a year-long project partially funded by the ULI Foundation Urban Innovation Grant, with generous in-kind contributions from HOK, TBG Partners and Elmore PR. The publication summarized the findings of the ULI Texas Task Force on Building Healthy Places, and identified six building blocks for healthier developments in Texas. Recognizing that one size doesn’t fit all, the Texas Task Force of developers and public- and private-sector thought leaders acknowledged our context presents daunting challenges, with a hot climate, low land costs, spread-out, automobile-dependent development patterns and a large population of uninsured children and adults.

Six Building Blocks for Building Healthy Places in Texas 18
Building a Healthier Texas
Building Block #1 Make Active the Easy Option Harvest is a 1,200 acre master-planned development located in Northlake and Argyle, Texas and is being developed by Hillwood Development Co Located on I-35W between Denton and Alliance, Texas, Harvest is a short distance to University of North Texas, Alliance Airport, DFW Airport and Fort Worth.
The master plan was designed as a “pedestrian first community” along a backbone of a 1.5 mile central park in the center of the community, with schools and amenities as destination anchors. Harvest is composed of 3200 single family homes, 42 acres of high density residential and 80 acres of mixed use. The master plan is also designed as an open plan with a mixed product approach. At the heart of Harvest is a farm and historic farmhouse, where one family lived and worked for five generations. The farmhouse has been fully restored as a community center, and the signature amenity of Harvest is a commercial farm. Rather than a golf course or tennis center, the community is built around a 5-acre working farm, and instead of a golf or tennis pro, the community of Harvest employs a professional farmer, who runs his own organic farming operation while teaching gardening classes for the community.
The true backbone of the community, what Tom Woliver calls “the connective tissue,” is the 1.5mile park which connects all the neighborhoods. And the activity of the community’s central green, multi-use activity building and performance area contribute to a more engaged, connected and active lifestyle for residents. While he says he considers Hillwood’s Harvest community still a “prototype,” Woliver already sees an upside from creating a more active, outdoor lifestyle. “When people drive through your project and see people outside, doing things together, that’s the number one thing that markets your project. The social health of the community from a marketing perspective is a great sales mechanism for your project.”
“Everyone likes to eat and food brings people together. So we created a true working farm in the middle of a master-planned community. We’ve hired a farmer. We have 5 greenhouses. We have a community garden where our farmer teaches residents how to do it.
Next Steps The initial project goal of the ULI Building Heatlhy Places Texas Task Force was to heighten awareness of building with healthier living as a deliberate outcome. By sharing knowledge of projects currently underway or already on the ground, a body of knowledge is forming that identifies those practices, or tools, that are important aspects of successful Healthy Places in Texas. Through the publication and subsequent discussion of this report, ULI Texas District Councils hope to increase interest in building with a focus on better health and to demonstrate how these Building Blocks can be among the tools used in the process.
A ULI Urban Innovation Report
Once you have that knowledge, it’s fairly easy to do… and there’s an option for residents to have their own gardens. So far, we’re seeing it’s driving a lot of traffic… We’re definitely getting traction.” Tom Woliver, Director of Planning & Development, Hillwood Development Co.
The work has just started. Each District Council will continue to identify Texas developments that are leading the way in building for health. Additional Building Blocks may also be identified along the way.
More detailed work should be devoted to the financial aspects of Healthy Places in Texas— can they be more cost effective? What are the marketing advantages? Will the lending institutions support this new emphasis? How is return on investment quantified? As noted at the outset: health and wellbeing are the results of complex, interconnected forces including affluence, education, physical environment, economic opportunity and employment. We know that the factors under the direct control of ULI members and stakeholders are only pieces of larger puzzle. But, it is our contention that we are responsible for the factors we can control. We will continue to analyze which factors offer the greatest potential for successful developments and better health for our communities.
“During World War Two, 50% of the produce consumed in the US was grown in victory gardens. Now it’s less than 2% but it’s on the rise.” David Calkins, Gensler, citing statistic from Urban

However, despite the challenges, the Lone Star State’s strong, business-friendly economy and relatively light touch of regulation makes Texas the ideal laboratory to innovate and speed up adoption of successful practices.
Mayor Annise Parker invited ULI Houston to participate on the City Bike Advisory Council for the Houston Bike Plan, a 12-month planning effort to update the City’s Comprehensive Bikeway Plan originally adopted in 1993.
Although issuing the Building a Healthier Texas report concluded the ULI Urban Innovation Grant project, the Building Healthy Places Initiative continues to raise awareness of the business opportunities for real estate developers whose projects promote a positive impact on public health and wellbeing.
Partnering with Habitat for Humanity
Additional highlights of the last year Rives Taylor, FAIA, LEED ® AP BD+C, Regional Sustainability Leader and Principal with Gensler, inaugurated an active and engaged ULI Building Healthy Places Committee to keep Building Healthy Places top of mind through content and educational opportunities for all ULI stakeholders. The All-Texas Council Forum - the annual gathering hosted in Houston in 2014 - presented the six building blocks for Building Healhty Places in Texas and offered tours of Building Healthy Places case studies. The ULI Spring Meeting offered an ideal platform to infuse all of the Mobile Workshop and Special Interest Tours with Building Healthy Places principles. Tour guides were trained to highlight examples of ULI-recommended strategies to promote health and wellbeing at each tour stop. ULI was invited to present a Building Healthy Communities expert panel at the AIA Gulf Coast Green Symposium. ULI Houston Executive Director, Ann Taylor moderated the panel with leading-edge practitioners Tom Bacon, Lionstone Investments; Jonathan Brinsden, Midway; Lisa Helfman, H-E-B; and Bill Odle, TBG Partners.
As we ended the fiscal year, the most ambitious Building Healthy Places activity to date was presented to the ULI Management Committee. Reid Wilson, Managing Shareholder of Wilson, Cribbs & Goren and ULI Houston Special Projects Chair, encouraged Habitat for Humanity of Houston Executive Director Allison Hay to seek ULI’s advice on developing more than 110 acres in Northeast Houston. ULI responded by forming a task force to explore the potential to use the ULI Building Healthy Places Toolkit to build Houston’s newest Habitat for Humanity community. The first step was for ULI to host a best practices benchmarking tour to learn from Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) Charter School co-founder Michael Feinberg; Anne Whitlock, Founding Director of Connect at 6800 Bellaire; H-E-B Grocery Company Director of Real Estate and founder of Brighter Bites, Lisa Helfman; and Rev. Harvey Clemons, President of Pleasant Hill Community Development Corporation. The task force also took a driving tour of the 110-acre site and surroundings. Habitat's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. By using the ULI Building Healthy Places Toolkit to develop an innovative Habitat community, we hope to ensure that a decent place to live is within a healthy community.

I understand this is the first time in 23 years that ULI has brought its conference to Houston. Well, I’ve been in public office in Houston for nearly 18 of those 23 years, and I can’t describe adequately the amount of change that’s happened in this dynamic city. Mayor Annise Parker
“
I felt I was taking a big chance, but Houston was a growing city, it accepted change. The Galleria was a big change from the normal shopping center but Houston accepted it with great enthusiasm. Gerald Hines
“
I think the rest of the country accepted the Galleria with great enthusiasm as well! Linda Wertheimer
