Downtown remains an important cog for major cities even while the amount of office space and the corporate business it brings is dropping in some locations. Municipalities know they need to continue to plan for the future, especially with new development and redevelopment. It is easy for real estate developers and investors to look away from downtown areas, but it really depends on the city or cities under consideration. It is an opportunity for brokers, designers, and contractors to be creating plans as well. At least it should be.
One example is San Antonio. That city has Austin, Dallas, and Houston as "big city" competitors when it comes to growing industries and commercial construction in Texas. As the below linked article indicates, city officials are well aware of the need to worry about the future when it comes to attracting business ahead of other big cities in the region. The prime example is the $1 billion arena plan for the Spurs. Planning around an arena structure adds even more opportunities for restaurants, hotels, shopping, and other entertainment.
The way to identify and price out the feasibility of being a part of creating and bringing a related opportunity to downtown San Antonio (in this instance) is by doing your research. I mean "your" research, from which only you know certain facts which could be to your advantage for years to come. If those with even more on the line are looking years into the future, the message should be loud and clear. Put your research person or team on it while you work on this week's agenda. A little discussion can go a long long way!
