Lake Pointe
Redevelopment District
Lake Pointe Redevelopment District
In July 2024, Fluor vacated their 1+ million square foot office building located at Lake Pointe. As office demand has shifted toward newer and more modern spaces since the pandemic, the office campus is not likely to be replaced or redeveloped for another office tenant.
In anticipation of this, the City drafted a new zoning category called the Lake Pointe Redevelopment District to allow for a wider variety of compatible land uses in a compact, walkable form.
The 70-acre mixed-use zoning district sits within the Lake Pointe Regional Activity Center (RAC) and primarily consists of the vacant 52-acre Fluor office campus and immediately adjacent vacant parcels. This mixed-use zoning district is the regulatory mechanism to implement the vision for Lake Pointe. This district was adopted by City Council and land was rezoned in December 2023.

Current Status
Houston-based developer Lovett Group’s concept plan for the 52-acre Lake Pointe site was approved by City Council on May 13, 2025. The concept outlines a vision for a walkable, residential district with a mix of compact housing, such as townhomes and cottages, and multifamily units. The plan incorporates feedback gathered during public meetings on April 23 and May 6, 2025.
After closing on the Lake Pointe property in June 2025, Lovett Group contracted services with Grant Mackay Company, Inc. for demolition of 1 million square feet of buildings within the former Fluor Corporation campus.
Demolition is expected to be completed in phases through Summer 2026. No traffic impacts or excessive noise is expected to take place during demolition.
Demolition Scheduled: September 2025 to May 2026
Phase 1 construction expected to begin: Summer 2026

The five-story development includes five live-work units, nearly 10,000 square feet of commercial office space, and a six-story parking garage. Planned amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center, golf simulator, fifth-floor sky lounge, and a ground-level café.

The property benefits from robust municipal utilities, including an existing water capacity of approximately 7,400 equivalent single-family connections (ESFC) that can be expanded to 8,500 ESFC with additional water line looping, and a wastewater system currently rated at 1,500 ESFC with the ability to increase to 3,700 ESFC through additional infrastructure. These capacities offer flexibility and scalability for a range of future development scenarios. Detailed utility capacity and line work can be made available upon request.
The vision for the Lake Pointe Regional Activity Center (RAC) is to combine offices, housing, retail, entertainment, and civic spaces to create a distinctive sense of place where people can gather outside of work, school, and their homes. Redevelopment should create a walkable environment that harmoniously blends dense residential development with compatible nonresidential uses.
Actions Taken by City Council
Click each of the tabs below to see actions taken by City Council related to Lake Pointe:
City Council gave directions to focus on the creation of a zoning district that will support the redevelopment of the Fluor campus, specifically by encouraging mixed-use areas of residential, retail, employment and entertainment uses.
City Council took two actions regarding Lake Pointe:
- Amended the Land Use Plan to include a revised preferred land use distribution and increase the anticipated number of multifamily units to 1,100 units for the entire Lake Pointe Regional Activity Center (RAC).
- Amended the Development Code to establish the Lake Pointe Redevelopment District and rezoned approximately 70 acres to the new zoning district.
In anticipation of the complex financing that may be necessary to redevelop Lake Pointe, City Council approved a policy to standardize the creation of Public Improvement Districts (PIDs). This development financing tool is advantageously positioned to support redevelopment because it offers a wide variety of authorized improvements, including but not limited to:
- Construction of off-street parking facilities to support vertical density,
- Pedestrian mobility enhancements via improvements to sidewalks, streets or other roadways, and
- Placemaking elements like pedestrian malls and art installations.
