Many cities around the country have game changing developments that are impacting their respective cities in a major way. Boston, DC, Baltimore, Houston, Atlanta, and Austin have significant projects that will impact their cities by creating new neighborhoods on land that was vacant, grass field, or a different use. This thread was created to focus on those major redevelopment projects and the impact they will have on their surrounding neighborhoods.
Which corridors will change the most as a result of these projects? Which projects will have the biggest impact on their cities?
I think TMC Helix Park and TMC Bioport will have bigger impacts on Houston.
I like the East River Development, but the TMC ones are just in a different economic field. East River I will reserve judgement. Houston has had these major redevelopment proposals before (Hardy Yards, Regent Square) but they were disappointing. TMC Helix Park came out of the ground with a vengeance.
Port Covington (Baltimore Peninsula) is the largest of these projects and the city (and surrounding neighborhoods immediately south of Port Covington) are in a substantially rougher state than the rest of the cities listed. It's success will yield far greater local/regional impacts than an equivalent development in bigger healthier city like Atlanta, Boston or DC or fast growing ones like Austin or Houston.
Centennial Yards doesn't even seem like it's gonna happen with all the developers pulling out.
? The only developer is CIM Group and Atlanta Hawks owner Tony Ressler. The only thing they announced was that some of the office space will be converted to residential because some of the tech companies who would've occupied the office space no longer needed it due to all the work from home.

I agree with this. You can say baltimore “needs” it most.

I was in that area yesterday, looks like the ground work has been laid and it's still under way.

First phases of both projects (Helix Park and East River) open soon. Will be great to see them and how they grow over the years
Something to add on the note of east river, that project is being coupled by a Buffalo Bayou Park expansion east. That will add trails and connected green space from the existing parks west into the area where east river is

If Helix Park wins that ARPA -H bid I bet it would send the remaining phases into over drive.
What they have done already looks great. Looks like they built a little business district from scratch in just a few years.
I think Texas would have a better shot at getting the ARPA -H spot. San Antonio and Austin ganged up to locate it in Dallas saying it should be in Dallas because... and then went on to list a bunch of infrastructure in HOUSTON which has is own bid. Smh
