Missouri City - Palace Event Center & Hotel

[ChannelTwoNews]

Some Missouri City residents against rezoning for proposed Palace Event Center | Community Impact

"According to agenda documents, the development would feature:

• A 96,000-square-foot, six-story hotel, consisting of approximately 80 rooms
• A 22,750-square-foot event center with breakout space
• Six residential cottage units to be used as an accessory to the event facility
• An outdoor event space
• Parking and landscaping elements

Should the development be approved, construction is expected to begin on Phase 1 in 2025 for the event center and four cottage units, while Phase 2 will begin in 2027 with the hotel’s construction, according to agenda documents."

 

Interestingly enough, the information that the city had updated on this project appeared the same day as the above article (4/19). It shows there have been some adjustments to the plan. The new site plan reflects the comments from residents.  Those changes now include...

-Reduction in size of the hotel from 6 to 4 floors, and combining it with the event center rather than as standalone structures

-Reducing the number of "cottage" units from 6 to 3.

-Increasing the size of the sound barrier walls

-Moving the properties closer to Knight Road and further from the natural preserve section.

-Retaining all trees in the natural preserve area

-Adding a swale to form a barrier between the nearby residential and aid in stormwater drainage
