The Greater East End Management District project area contains a mix of land uses made up of a variety of neighborhoods, some older neighborhoods in need of revitalization and some newly developed neighborhoods along with condominiums, townhouses, and apartments. Residential land uses comprise about 50 percent of the area. The other major land uses are light industrial and moderate amounts of commercial and institutional uses. In addition to opportunities to increase walkability and transit use, a significant opportunity exists in the form of vacant and underutilized property located in close proximity to Houston’s burgeoning
downtown.
