Project ExperienceSpillette Consulting brings years of experience, knowledge and dedication to every challenge. The following are but a few examples of the projects with which Spillette Consulting has been entrusted.

HOUSTON URBAN CORRIDOR PLANNING

Working with the City of Houston as Senior Planning Fellow, Spillette

Consulting helped to change development codes and infrastructure

standards to encourage walkable environments along the city’s light rail

system. This multi-year process involved community outreach, dialogue

with public officials and the real estate community, and management of

consultants.

OLD TOWN LEWISVILLE REVITALIZATION

The Old Town district of the City of Lewisville, Texas, needed a way

forward to begin economic revitalization. In response, Spillette Consulting

performed a market study and fiscal analysis of Old Town with Alliance

partner CDS Market Research. An Implementation Plan evolved from the

analysis and paved the way for new City investments.

CEDAR PARK WATERPARK

Spillette Consulting analyzed projected property, sales, and hotel tax

revenue generation from a proposed waterpark resort in the Austin suburb

of Cedar Park. Spillette’s revenue modeling was then used to craft the

developer’s economic development agreement with the city.

DOWNTOWN HOUSTON DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

Spillette Consulting provided both research and writing skills to support

Central Houston, Inc.’s 2004 visioning effort to guide public and private

initiatives in Downtown Houston for the next 25 years. In addition to

performing vital background research studies, Spillette authored the overall

vision document. Later follow-on assignments included research and

financial pro-forma analysis of desired housing development.

8 HOUSTON DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS

The most important participants in an active street life will be the people who live there. To supportthis key component of its vision, Downtown should build significantly upon the stock of housing

added since the mid-1990s. An expanding population will provide a reliable base of demand for goodsand services and will enhance security by putting more pedestrians on the street. Well-designed residentialbuildings also lessen the “emptiness” of streets during non-business hours. Finally, office tenants willfind Downtown more attractive if a reasonable share of their employees can have the option of livingclose to work. With most historic structures restored, Downtown should focus on new construction;work toward a residential population of 20,000; and offer a wide range of residential properties, fromthe most affordable to luxury developments.

“My vision for Downtown

in 2025 is to be a place

where someone can live

every aspect of day-to-day

life – they can work and

play but also get life taken

care of – if we are going

to live here, we have to

be able to LIVE here.”
