The Allen is being developed by DC Partners, with investment from Tianqing Real Estate Development and Westmont Hospitality Group. The high-end, multi-use development includes the luxury brand Thompson Hotel, the Residences at The Allen, a lifestyle pavilion, which will include one of the nation’s most exclusive fitness clubs, two signature restaurants, luxury retail spaces, and world-class office buildings.
Derived using RIMS II Impact Model, Phase 1 of The Allen will support 1,731 new jobs and increase Houston MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) Labor Income by $128.8M with regional demand for input and commodities increased $176.5M. Additionally, The Allen will bring more than $78M in foreign and direct investment to Houston.
“I appreciate Mayor Turner and Andy Icken for their continued interest and support of The Allen,” said Contreras. “The substantial investment by the City of Houston to Buffalo Bayou Park, along with the work of the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, has created an exceptional opportunity for projects like The Allen to create new jobs and reinvest in the local community. I applaud Mayor Turner and his staff for recognizing the important role the public-private sector relationship plays in improving our communities and bringing new investment to Houston.”
