NEW BUSINESS PARK COMING TO SH 35 CORRIDOR |
Work has begun on a new business park is coming to the State Highway 35 Corridor, developed by Stewart Development. Located at the southwest corner of SH35 and McHard Road, the 36-acre business park will offer multiple buildings totaling over 200,000 square feet of flex office-warehouse-manufacturing space
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) has been working with Stewart Development since 2023 and, in partnership with the City of Pearland, entered into a Development Agreement with the developer in March 2024. To support the project, PEDC will provide up infrastructure and site development assistance.
This area is a priority of the SH35 redevelopment plan. Developments like this bring significant capital investment to our community and create opportunities for new businesses to establish operations in Pearland, generating jobs for residents and tax base of our city, county and schools.

This summer the City of Pearland launched the Old Town Revitalization Plan. The Old Town area is the city's original platted site from 1894. The Old Townsite area consists of the land area bordered by Orange Street to the north, Walnut Street to the south, Galveston Street on the east and Austin Street on the west in what is now the eastern quadrant of Pearland.
Revitalizing this historic area is another Key Initiative of our Pearland Prosperity Plan, the community economic development strategic plan. The plan aims to create a vibrant and sustainable vision for the future of Pearland's historic Old Town. By enhancing connections between Old Town and the rest of the city, creating a high-quality public realm, and improving the overall quality of life for residents, workers, and visitors, the plan seeks to transform this area into a thriving hub of activity. The nine-month planning process, funded by the PEDC and executed by the City of Pearland Community Development Department, will focus on developing strategic goals and actions related to development and urban design, streets and mobility, infrastructure and transportation, and parks and open space. We encourage the community to actively participate in the public visioning process and share their ideas for shaping the future of Old Town Pearland.

A Key Initiative for the Pearland Prosperity Plan, our community economic development strategic plan, is Cultural Arts. Cultural Arts is another important factor in keeping Pearland a community of choice. This Key Initiative focuses on implementing the City’s cultural arts master plan, led by Visit Pearland.
In July, the City adopted its first-ever cultural arts master plan. The plan outlines five key goals, including expanding the city’s public art program and expanding arts and culture offerings for residents. The plan also focuses on adding cultural places within our community and expanding cultural tourism within Pearland.
