High Income, High Visibility
Uptown Houston is situated in the midst of Houston's most exclusive
and prestigious residential neighborhoods. In 2006 the per capita
income of $74,242 within a three-mile radius is higher than that
of Highland Park in Dallas, Beverly Hills, South Coast Plaza in
California's Orange County and Atlanta's Buckhead area. The average
combined household income within a three-mile radius is more than
$139,550. Uptown's nearby population has strong spending power,
providing a proven and powerful base for retail demand.
Uptown's location has additional benefits for retailers. The West
Loop, Westheimer and Post Oak Boulevard, Houston's most traveled highway
and arterials, run through Uptown, giving it unparalleled visibility.
Plus, more than 7,000 hotel rooms accommodate travelers from around
the world, many who visit Uptown specifically for the international
shopping experience.
Retail Sales
With The Galleria's new expansion, there are now more than 5 million
square feet of gross leasable retail space in Uptown Houston.
In 2006, Uptown Houston recorded $2 Billion in retail sales,
making it the highest volume of any retail shopping district
in Houston.
Uptown Offers Variety
Numerous other exceptional shopping centers line Post Oak Boulevard,
such as the Centre at Post Oak (Marshalls, Old Navy), and the Post
Oak Shopping Centre (Container Store, Pier 1 and Sports Authority).
