"The leasing milestone, reached in December, shaved three months off Woodbranch Investments Corp.’s projected 15-month timeline and signals downtown is no longer limited to 9-to-5 office workers and theater goers. Bars and restaurants, food halls and parks are catering to a growing population, thanks to incentives provided by the Downtown Living Initiative.
“I really enjoy the way downtown is coming back,” Woodbranch Investments CEO Philip Schneidau said. “In the evening, people are walking around in Discovery Green, and Market Square Park. It’s really getting to be a nice neighborhood feel to it after hours, versus the business feel during the day.”
