About The Galleria Area/Uptown
The Uptown District
of
Houston is located 6.2 miles (10 km) west of downtown and is centered along
Post Oak Boulevard, Westheimer Road (Farm
to Market Road 1093), and the Galleria. It is
a satellite central business district and a center for premier shopping centers
and hotels.[citation
needed]
The Uptown District is roughly bounded by Woodway Drive to the
north, the I-610 (West
Loop) to the east, Richmond Avenue to the south, and Yorktown Street to the
west.
At 23.6 million square feet (2,193,000 m²) of office space, the
Uptown District is the 17th-largest business district in the United States,
comparable in size to the downtowns of Denver, and Pittsburgh.[1] The district is home to approximately 2,000 companies and
represents more than 11 percent of Houston's total office space.[1]

Where You Can Have It All
With more than 23 million square feet of commercial office
space and five million square feet of retail space combined with 7,100 hotel
rooms, more than 100 restaurants and a booming residential market, Uptown
Houston is...Where You Can Have It All. As one of the world's leading urban
districts, Uptown Houston is poised to become even greater than the prestigious
blend of commercial and residential properties that it is today. Through a
series of improvement initiatives, Uptown Houston is implementing a strategic
vision which will ensure its continued success.
Cornerstones for the Future
The District's vision for the future has been focused on three
major cornerstones – Accessibility, Identity and Community.
- Accessibility –
Uptown Houston must be easily accessible to and from any direction in the
region. As importantly, travel within Uptown itself, whether by car, foot or by
transit, must be convenient, safe and enjoyable.
- Identity – Creating
an unparalleled sense of place is a critical component of Uptown Houston's
vision. The area's bold streetscape program of stainless steel arches, rings and
light fixtures are paramount, and the vibrant, colorful landscaped medians
accent the District's feel of a garden community. New open spaces will continue
to be unveiled to create a greater sense of beauty and enliven the streets.
- Community – The
appeal of Uptown Houston, ultimately, will be measured by a sense of place that
is defined by the many intangibles that collectively create its unique
environment. Building a groundswell of community rooted in a successful blend of
urban lifestyle components is the true benchmark of the District's vision.
Guiding Principles for Success
In Uptown Houston, an established set of guiding principles
acts as a roadmap from which both the public and private sector can build for
the future. Uptown Houston's guiding principles include:
- Mobility – Mobility
improvements are the catalyst to make Uptown Houston more easily accessible and
increasingly economically viable in the coming decades. Four components help
realize the vision: regional improvements, local improvements, pedestrian
mobility and new transit alternatives.
- Mixed Use – The
seamless, elegant combination of offices, homes, stores, hotels, restaurants and
green spaces is what distinguishes Uptown Houston. The rich diversity of current
land use, together with new and enriched community spaces and new development
projects, create unmatched value, propelling the District forward.
- Garden District –
With transit options and more pedestrian friendly alternatives, the
transformation of a landscaped, open environment into a recognized garden
district is essential. Additional plantings provide definition and scale to
District streets. New green spaces and parks enhance the area's garden district
appeal and bring community to Uptown.
- Vivid Streetscapes –
The District works closely with private and public entities to encourage
street-side interaction that reflects an engaging sense of urban style. The
essence of the Uptown experience is conveyed through architectural details,
public art and festive, dramatic lighting that celebrate Uptown at every turn,
as a Destination of Choice.
Mobility is Key
Enhanced mobility is key to the success of Uptown Houston's
vision. Several improvement projects have fundamentally changed the face of
Uptown and were the first critical step to making the dream a reality.
Aggressive regional improvement projects that are in progress
or have been completed include improvements to the US 59 Southwest Freeway,
IH-10 Katy Freeway, the Grand Parkway, Fort Bend Parkway and the proposed
Northwest Tollroad. The reconstruction of the West Loop and the new Westpark
Tollway have had a significant positive impact on Uptown Houston. The West Loop
with new entrances and exits provides commuters with "hot links" that give
direct access into and out of Uptown. The new Westpark Tollway provides
southwest Houston communities a quick and convenient gateway into Uptown.
The Uptown Houston District and its Tax Increment Financing
District have embarked on a $235 million local street improvement program. Its
focus is to:
- Improve existing streets;
- Create a secondary street network;
- Improve intersections, and;
- Create a pedestrian network.
Complemented by the addition of open, green spaces and lively,
active streetscapes, these improvements not only ease congestion and increase
traffic flow, but enliven the district and create an unparalleled sense of
place.
For example, Post Oak Boulevard will be transformed. Plans will
accommodate new mixed-use development that incorporates pedestrian and street
activity, as well as a transit corridor that links Uptown to regional transit
systems and will offer improved intra-district transit options. A necklace of
green spaces along this grand community, culminating at a pedestrian gateway
with the area's famed Waterwall, will function as calming hideaways from
surrounding commercial activity.
Plans also call for a significant pedestrian improvement
program, currently underway, which widens sidewalks and adds pedestrian lighting
and landscaping to all streets in Uptown.
One major mobility improvement project includes San Felipe.
Widened to six lanes, traffic flows much smoother on this major thoroughfare. It
has also been transformed into an oak-lined parkway with pedestrian walkways and
additional green spaces.
Other neighborhood arteries feeding into major thoroughfares
are being integrated into the mixed-use environment. Finally, a network of
secondary streets, like the new Post Oak Lane and Skylark, is being created to
ease congestion, create value and to provide more active streetscapes.
A Reflection of What is Best
Uptown Houston is a reflection of what is best in the city. The
improvements currently underway will secure its pre-eminence as the standard
bearer for world-class urban districts for years to come.
