Catalyst Sites

In 2005, the City engaged RTKL, an urban planning firm, to look at the Downtown Master Plan and recommend projects that would have a significant impact on the redevelopment of downtown. RTKL identified five areas as redevelopment zones capable of viable catalyst development projects.

The Downtown Development office is currently working on several initiatives to establish incentives for development in downtown as well as the five catalyst sites. Such initiatives include creating a tax-increment financing district and a downtown incentive grant policy.

If you are a developer and are interested in more information on these catalyst sites, please contact the Downtown Development office at 940-349-7730.

Catalyst Project A

Transit-oriented infill development with shared parking garage between McKinney, Bell, Hickory and the Commuter Rail. Planned around existing historic structure, partnership defined by land assembly and parking.

Catalyst Project B

Mixed-use infill adjacent to the Wells Fargo tower. New shared garage is added as southeastern parking anchor for the Square. Existing garage removed to make way for retail and motor bank with loft space above.

Catalyst Project C

Pocket park with new surrounding development to define northern gateway into Downtown. Includes adaptive reuse of existing buildings (old city hall) and provides a northwestern parking anchor for the Square.

Catalyst Project D

Mixed-use office infill between Oak and Hickory along Carroll. Existing businesses incorporated into development; shared parking lined with livework space.

Catalyst Project E

Residential infill with ground-level service uses between McKinney, Oak, Austin and Bell. Provides an “urban edge” to contrast the municipal complex. Small scale live-work infill around existing structures on Oak.
