You must be talking about the mini-loop formed by Stemmons, Woodall Rogers, North Central, & RL. Thornton Fwy. Houston has the same thing...

Someone enlighten me. Im new here so I dont know about this one.
Why are the corporations in Dallas setting up shop in the surburbs but the ones in Houston are not (appearantly)? Is it because Houston has more suburban environments within the city than Dallas does?

Houston's corporations are building in the outer city limits too. The Energy Corridor off of the Katy Freeway & HWY. 6 is a great example.
The market in downtown Houston is hot right now & office space is at a premium so building new towers makes perfect sense. Combine that with the fact people are realizing that living in the suburbs & working downtown is just too much of a pain then you have a recipe for urban revival. |

Houston is Harris County basically. Harris County equals Dallas & tarrant county combined. Its a massive county. That is basically why it seems all Houston corportations are located in Houston because the city of Houston just about absorb that entire county. Dallas/Fort Worth have enormous amount of suburbs probably more than any other U.S. metro area. |

The truth is that north Fort Worth area stretching to downtown Fort Worth will be the next big boom in Texas. Everybody can take Fort Worth lightly if you want but Fort Worth is expanding its downtown northward and the big trinity river project will transform the central city district. Fort Worth is racking up a serious amount of money from the Barnett Shale and look in the future for Fort Worth to be one of the top locations for big corporations looking to relocate. We have been waiting for this day for a long time. Right now the city is focus on street cars and the trinity river project that will make Fort Worth the Vancouver of the south. Unlike Dallas to west Fort Worth can expand north, west, and south. This decade Fort Worth leads the north texas region in growth.

Some Houstonians are just jealous that DFW leads the nation in growth and new residents in Texas find DFW more attractive than Houston. Its a fact stats back my claim up. Dallas/Fort Worth has added more residents than anyother U.S. metro area since 2000. |
