As development continues to thrive in the Lower Kirby District, many infrastructure projects are underway to bring additional value to the community. Hooper Road was recently reconstructed from Beltway 8 to Fruge Road. Construction to extend North Spectrum Boulevard was recently completed and South Spectrum Boulevard is currently being extended from Kirby Drive to Promenade Shops.
In 2009, the Pearland Economic Development Corporation and City of Pearland hired Gateway Planning Group to develop a strategy for the Lower Kirby Urban District. Planning for zoning aligned by location and character, infrastructure and development guidelines, the strategy positions the district to maximize return on investment and building consistency. These plans, coupled with a phased infrastructure strategy, create a uniquely positioned investment opportunity for Pearland and potential investors.
